Uro-oncology

Comprehensive care for urological cancers

Uro-oncology is a specialised branch of oncology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers affecting the urinary system and the male reproductive organs. This includes cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testicles, ureters, and penis. At KD Hospital, our uro-oncology team is dedicated to providing advanced, evidence-based care through a multidisciplinary approach, combining the expertise of urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists.

Our goal is to deliver personalised treatment plans that are tailored to the individual needs of each patient, ensuring optimal outcomes while maintaining quality of life.

Conditions we treat

Our uro-oncology specialists manage a wide range of urological cancers, including:

• Prostate cancer: One of the most common cancers in men, it is often detected through PSA testing and digital rectal examination. Our team offers minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted prostatectomy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy as per the stage and aggressiveness of the disease.
• Kidney cancer: Also known as renal cell carcinoma, kidney cancer may be treated through partial or radical nephrectomy (removal of part or all of the kidney), often using laparoscopic or robotic techniques.
• Bladder cancer: This condition often presents with blood in urine and is diagnosed using cystoscopy and imaging. We provide treatment options such as transurethral resection, intravesical therapy, radical cystectomy, and bladder reconstruction.
• Testicular cancer: Common in younger men, testicular cancer is highly curable when detected early. Treatment may include orchiectomy (removal of the affected testicle), chemotherapy, and surveillance protocols.
• Penile and ureteric cancer: Although rare, these cancers require prompt and specialised care. We offer surgical and reconstructive options with support from reconstructive urology and oncology teams.

Robot-assisted urological surgery

Advanced minimally invasive solutions
KD Hospital proudly introduces the Da Vinci X, a cutting-edge robotic-assisted system for precision and care in urological surgeries. Transforming surgical outcomes with advanced technology ensures an improved patient experience and better recovery.

Advanced surgical options

• Radical prostatectomy: Surgical removal of the prostate gland.
• Radical/partial nephrectomy: Treatment for kidney tumours, preserving kidney function where possible.
• Radical cystoprostatectomy: Removal of the bladder and prostate for advanced bladder cancer.
• Pyeloplasty: Reconstruction of the renal pelvis to relieve urinary obstructions.
• Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection: Treatment for testicular cancer with minimal invasiveness.
• Ureteric reimplantation: Surgical repositioning of the ureter to correct abnormalities.
• VVF repair: Repair of vesicovaginal fistulas for improved bladder function.
• UVF repair: Repair of ureterovaginal fistulas to restore normal urinary flow.

Benefits of robotic surgery for patients

• Minimally invasive & precise
• Reduced pain & discomfort
• Minimum blood loss
• Faster recovery & shorter hospital stay
• Smaller scar & lower infection rates
• Precision surgical approach
• Enhanced visualisation & control

Our approach

We utilise the latest diagnostic tools including advanced imaging (MRI, PET-CT), biopsy techniques, and tumour markers to achieve accurate diagnosis and staging. Treatment options are discussed in a multidisciplinary tumour board, ensuring that every case benefits from collective clinical expertise.
