Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Urogenital Surgical Procedures

Urogenital surgical procedures refer to surgical procedures performed on the urinary and genital systems. These procedures can be performed for diagnostic, therapeutic, or reconstructive purposes. Some common urogenital surgical procedures include:

Cystectomy: removal of the bladder

Prostatectomy: removal of the prostate gland

Nephrectomy: removal of a kidney

Ureteroscopy: examination of the ureters using a scope

Vesicoureteral reflux correction: correction of a condition where urine flows back into the ureters and kidneys

Hydrocele repair: correction of a condition where fluid accumulates around the testicles

Orchiectomy: removal of one or both testicles

Urogenital surgical procedures can be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or robot-assisted surgery. The choice of surgical approach will depend on the patient’s individual medical needs and the surgeon’s expertise. The success of these procedures often depends on several factors such as the patient’s overall health, the type and extent of the procedure, and the patient’s adherence to post-operative instructions.
