What is endorology?
Endorology is a term that is widely reflected in various medical procedures used to diagnose and treat stones formation in the area of calculation in the urinary system. These procedures are performed by an encourlologist, a urologist qualified in the use of specialized reconnaissance tools that can be examined by kidneys, bladder, urethra and ureter. In fact, these medicine sectors are so named because its prefix "Endo" means "inner", while "Uro" refers to urine and "ology" to study. Similarly, the names of the procedures used in endourology end up in the "extent" or "scopy", which is reflected in the "perspective". With the help of ranges, the encourologist is able to see inside the body and gain access with precise surgical tools capable of eliminating the kidney obstruction without any cuts.
Most of these procedures do not require open surgery under general anesthesia in the traditional operating room, so they are referred to as endorological closed procedures. This simply means patient does not go below nalready. In fact, most people who have undergone endorological urological surgery, treated on an outpatient basis, and can usually restore normal activities relatively quickly. However, not every patient is a candidate for these minimally invasive surgery. For example, total obstruction, limitation of greater than 0.79 inches (2 cm) or the presence of infection, are some of the circumstances that are considered to be contraindications.
One of the most common procedures in endorology is the extracorporeal shock wave of lithotripsy, which uses a imaging machine called Lithotriptor to target and decompose stones with projected shock waves. Once the stones are broken, small pieces can be safely eliminated by urination. However, this procedure is limited to small stones. Another factor that can prevent the success of stones with this technique; Stones placed in certain areas of kidney or bladder can resist DETECIFICATION AND TIGHTING. On the contrary, they may be successfully targeted, but broken fragments may imprison and cannot be passed through the urine.
ureteroscopy is another endorological procedure that can solve the above concerns, as well as stones that have been stored in urea all the time. In addition, this procedure can sometimes allow access to the kidneys using ureters as a path. Other tools used in conjunction with the ureteroscope to help in disintegration and removal of stones include impacts, grip, lasers and even small spiral baskets in which stone residues can be inserted and removed.
There are other procedures used to target larger stones and procedures placed in difficult areas such as vesicolithrips and cystoscopy. This is particularly useful in determining the cause of bleeding from the urinary path. Percutone of nepholithotomy is a procedure that involves the use of needle catheters to provide pneumatic pressure to break stones. Unlike the other techniques described here, this Pro Pro Procedure must beEden under general anesthesia.
