Surgery performed on day care basis included ureteric stone basketing, ureteroenoscopic stone retrieval, JJ stenting, cystolithotripsy, TUR-BT, TUR-P and internal urethrotomy. Failure of complication rate was 0.97%. Most of the complications (26/29) could be detected early and managed by conversion of short admission into a regular one. Only 3 patients (0.1%) were admitted later on through the emergency. There was no mortality. In conclusion, we recommend urologic operative procedures on carefully selected patients on day-care basis to achieve two of the government's primary goals a) the provision of high quality services and b) the reduction of health care costs. Simultaneously a word of caution that it is unique challenge to be handled with care.
A day care procedure is a surgery or medical procedure that formerly required a prolonged stay in hospital but can now be completed in less than 24 hours.
Uroflowmetry is a test that measures the volume of urine released from the body, the speed with which it is released, and how long the release takes.
For this test, a patient urinates into a special receptacle that measures the amount and flow rate of urine and time required to completely void their bladder. These assessments can help doctors evaluate how well the lower urinary tract is functioning or identify any obstruction of urine flow.
Uroflowmetry is often used with other tests to diagnose obstructed urinary outflow or urinary tract dysfunction, including:
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin covering the tip of the penis. The procedure is fairly common for newborn boys in certain parts of the world, including the United States. Circumcision after the newborn period is possible, but it's a more complex procedure. For some families, circumcision is a religious ritual. The procedure can also be a matter of family tradition, personal hygiene or preventive health care.
Circumcision is a religious or cultural ritual for many Jewish and Islamic families, as well as certain aboriginal tribes in Africa and Australia. Circumcision can also be a matter of family tradition, personal hygiene or preventive health care. Sometimes there's a medical need for circumcision, such as when the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back (retracted) over the glans. In other cases, particularly in parts of Africa, circumcision is recommended for older boys or men to reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections.
Circumcision might have various health benefits, including:
The risks of not being circumcised, however, are not only rare, but avoidable with proper care of the penis. Circumcision might not be an option if certain blood-clotting disorders are present. Also, circumcision might not be appropriate for premature babies who still require medical care in the hospital nursery or for babies born with abnormalities of the penis. Circumcision doesn't affect fertility, nor is circumcision generally thought to enhance or detract from sexual pleasure for men or their partners.
Cystoscopy (sis-TOS-kuh-pee) is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your bladder and the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). A hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder. Cystoscopy may be done in a testing room, using a local anesthetic jelly to numb your urethra. Or it may be done as an outpatient procedure, with sedation. Another option is to have cystoscopy in the hospital during general anesthesia.
Cystoscopy is used to diagnose, monitor and treat conditions affecting the bladder and urethra.
There are two types of cystoscopes. Your healthcare provider will use the one that works best for your specific procedure.
Urodynamics testing measures how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra store and release urine. Most urodynamics testing focus on the bladder’s ability to hold urine and empty steadily and completely. These tests help diagnose patients who have lower urinary tract symptoms such as
Depending on your preliminary diagnosis, your doctor may recommend one or more of these urodynamic tests:
A frenuloplasty of prepuce of penis (also known as a release of frenulum) is a frenuloplasty of the frenulum of prepuce of penis. An abnormally short or sensitive frenulum of the penis can make some types of sexual activity uncomfortable or even painful. This may be a complication of circumcision or a naturally occurring event. When it is a naturally occurring event, a short frenulum can restrict normal retraction of the foreskin during erection (a condition known as frenulum breve). The goal of treatment is to allow normal retraction of the foreskin. Circumcision may relieve this condition but is not indicated solely for treating frenulum breve. However, circumcision can also lead to an abnormally sensitive frenulum.
