Conditions Treated by Urologist at Reem Hospital

At Reem Hospital Abu Dhabi, the urology department provides expert care for both adult & pediatric urological conditions.

  •  Surgical removal of the prostate gland (prostatectomy) is often used to treat prostate cancer or benign prostate enlargement in elderly patients. 
  • Removal of a kidney (Nephrectomy) either partially or entirely, often performed to treat kidney cancer or severe kidney damage. 
  • Surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis (Pyeloplasty) to correct a blockage or narrowing in the drainage system of the kidney. 
  • Management of kidney stones & their complications involves various approaches, including medical treatment, shockwave therapy (ESWL), and surgical procedures like nephrolithotomy, which can be performed through either traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). 
  • Removal of the bladder (Cystectomy) is often performed to treat bladder cancer. 
  • Surgical removal of one or both testicles (Orchiectomy) is often performed to treat testicular cancer. 
  • Testicular torsion repair: A urological surgical emergency, involving detorsion and fixation of the testicle to treat testicular torsion. 
  • Hydrocelectomy: Surgical removal of a hydrocele, a fluid-filled sac around the testicle. 
  • Surgical sterilization for men (Vasectomy) involves the cutting or sealing of the vas deferens to prevent sperm from reaching the ejaculate. 
  • Infertility diagnosis and management. 
  • Urethral reconstruction (Urethroplasty): Surgical repair or reconstruction of the urethra, often used to treat urethral strictures. 
  • Bed wetting and daytime wetting. 
  • Circumcision & circumcision correction. 
  • Hypospadias correction. 
  • Pediatric hernia and hydrocele correction. 
  • Pediatric orchiopexy for undescended testis. 
  • Varicocele and meatal stenosis. 
  • Urinary tract infection. 
  • Spina bifida is a congenital condition that affects the development of the baby’s spinal cord, spine, and developing brain. This condition can lead to a neurogenic bladder, resulting in decreased control over urine. Treating the neurogenic bladder can help alleviate this issue, allowing the bladder to relax and expand its capacity for urine storage. This, in turn, helps protect the kidneys from potential harm.
