Procedures
Treatments & Procedures
Here are the key procedures performed by leading specialists in Urology.
Cystectomy (Partial or Radical)
Cystectomy surgery in India is a specialised urological oncology procedure performed to remove part or all of the urinary bladder, most commonly to treat bladder cancer. Depending on the stage and extent of disease, patients may undergo partial cystectomy, where only the cancer-affected portion of the bladder is removed, or radical cystectomy, which involves complete bladder removal along with nearby lymph nodes and surrounding structures. Following radical cystectomy, a urinary diversion procedure is created to allow urine to exit the body safely. India offers advanced urology oncology centres with experienced surgeons, robotic and minimally invasive techniques, and comprehensive post-operative care. VRH Healthcare supports international patients by facilitating expert opinions, hospital selection, personalised cost guidance, and coordinated care throughout the cystectomy treatment journey in India.
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
HoLEP surgery in India (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is an advanced minimally invasive laser procedure used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate. The technique uses a high-powered holmium laser to precisely remove obstructive prostate tissue blocking urine flow. Unlike traditional open prostate surgery, HoLEP offers reduced bleeding, shorter catheterisation time, faster recovery, and durable long-term results. Leading urology centres in India perform HoLEP using modern laser systems and experienced endourologists, making India a preferred destination for international patients seeking effective enlarged prostate treatment at significantly lower costs compared to Western countries.
Kidney Transplant in India
Kidney transplant in India is a surgical procedure in which a diseased or failing kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor. It is considered the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering better survival rates and improved quality of life compared to long-term dialysis. During the procedure, the donor kidney is placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the recipient’s blood vessels and bladder. India has established advanced transplant centres with experienced nephrologists, transplant surgeons, and structured legal frameworks for donor approval. VRH Healthcare supports international patients with transplant evaluation, donor coordination, and comprehensive post-operative planning.
Orchiectomy (Orchoectomy)
Orchiectomy surgery in India is a urological procedure that involves the surgical removal of one or both testicles. This operation is commonly performed to treat testicular cancer, manage hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, or address severe trauma, infection, or other testicular conditions. The most common type of procedure for suspected testicular cancer is radical inguinal orchiectomy, where the testicle and spermatic cord are removed through a small incision in the groin. In cases of advanced prostate cancer, bilateral orchiectomy may be performed as a form of hormonal therapy to reduce testosterone levels, which can slow cancer growth. Diagnosis and treatment planning typically involve scrotal ultrasound imaging, tumour marker blood tests (AFP, HCG, and LDH), and CT scans to determine cancer stage and guide surgical decisions. Based on these evaluations, urologists determine the safest surgical approach and whether additional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be required. India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking urological cancer treatment due to experienced surgeons, modern hospital infrastructure, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the USA, UK, and many European countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients obtain expert urology opinions, compare accredited hospitals and surgeons, review medical reports, and receive transparent treatment cost guidance before travelling to India.
Prostatectomy
Prostatectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the prostate gland. It is most commonly performed for prostate cancer when surgery is considered appropriate, and less commonly for advanced BPH when symptoms are severe and other treatments have not worked or are unsuitable. The extent of removal and surgical approach depend on the disease stage, prostate size, overall health, and patient goals, and are determined by the treating urologist at a specific centre.
PUJ Obstruction (Pyeloplasty)
Pelvi-Ureteric Junction (PUJ) obstruction is a condition where the flow of urine is blocked at the point where the kidney connects to the ureter. This obstruction leads to urine buildup in the kidney, causing hydronephrosis, pain, infections, and potential long-term kidney damage if untreated. Pyeloplasty is the standard surgical procedure used to correct this condition. It involves removing the narrowed or blocked segment and reconstructing the junction to restore normal urine drainage. Modern treatment approaches in India commonly include laparoscopic pyeloplasty and robotic-assisted pyeloplasty, which are minimally invasive techniques performed through small incisions. These methods offer benefits such as reduced pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and excellent long-term success rates. Before surgery, detailed diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, CT/MRI urogram, and diuretic renogram are used to assess kidney function and confirm the obstruction. India is a preferred destination for pyeloplasty surgery due to experienced urologists, advanced minimally invasive surgical technology, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the United States, United Kingdom, and many European countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients access expert urology opinions, compare hospitals, and receive personalised treatment guidance.
RIRS (Laser Stone Removal)
RIRS, or Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure for effectively removing kidney stones. It involves the precise use of a thin, flexible ureteroscope, which is carefully guided through the natural urinary tract—urethra, bladder, and ureter—up into the kidney. Once the stone is located, a sophisticated laser fibre is employed to break it into tiny fragments. These fragments are then either retrieved with a small basket or are small enough to pass naturally. This technique is particularly beneficial for stones that are difficult to reach or have not responded to other treatments, offering a quicker recovery and excellent outcomes.
Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP)
Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. Unlike other surgeries that remove prostate tissue, TUIP involves making one or two small incisions in the prostate gland and bladder neck. These incisions relieve pressure on the urethra, improving urine flow and reducing BPH symptoms. It is typically recommended for men with smaller to moderately enlarged prostates who experience bothersome urinary symptoms.
Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT)
Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is a common surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat early-stage bladder cancer. Performed by a urologist, it involves inserting a thin, lighted instrument called a resectoscope through the urethra into the bladder. The surgeon then uses a wire loop to cut away visible tumours and abnormal tissue. This procedure is crucial for both removing the tumour and obtaining tissue samples for accurate pathological staging, which guides subsequent treatment decisions. It is a minimally invasive approach, aiming to preserve bladder function.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a widely recognised and highly effective surgical procedure for men experiencing moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). When the prostate gland grows, it can obstruct the urethra, leading to difficulties with urination. TURP involves the precise removal of this excess prostate tissue using a specialised instrument called a resectoscope, which is inserted through the urethra. This minimally invasive approach helps restore normal urine flow and significantly improves quality of life. In India, leading urology centres offer advanced TURP techniques, performed by highly skilled surgeons. VRH Healthcare acts as your dedicated medical facilitation and patient-navigation partner, ensuring you access the best possible care and support throughout your entire treatment journey in India.
Urethroplasty
Urethroplasty is a highly specialised surgical procedure designed to repair a urethral stricture, which is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). This narrowing can significantly obstruct urine flow, leading to various uncomfortable and potentially serious urinary problems. The primary goal of urethroplasty is to reconstruct the affected segment of the urethra, restoring normal urine passage and significantly improving the patient's quality of life. It is considered a definitive, long-term treatment option.
Varicocelectomy
Varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure performed to correct a varicocele, which is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin holding the testicles (scrotum). These enlarged veins, similar to varicose veins found in legs, can lead to reduced sperm quality, testicular atrophy, or discomfort. The procedure aims to tie off or remove these abnormal veins, redirecting blood flow into healthy veins. This can improve male fertility, alleviate pain, and prevent further testicular damage. VRH Healthcare connects you with leading urology specialists in India for this delicate procedure.
