Overview

Urology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary system and reproductive organs. The highly skilled urological surgery team at RFH specialises in minimally invasive surgery using cutting-edge techniques and technology to diagnose and treat conditions, offering improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. The department takes a comprehensive approach to kidney transplantation, male and female urology, and paediatric urology.

  • GreenLight LASER System for Prostate Care
  • Prostate Fusion Biopsy System — Fusion Bx

The GreenLight PVP LASER system is a cutting-edge technology that offers a non-invasive approach to treat benign prostatic enlargement. This innovative treatment is designed to provide effective and minimally invasive prostate care, ensuring a swift recovery.

  • The GreenLight PVP LASER system uses a patented high-power green light laser to remove excess prostate tissue, providing a virtually bloodless procedure.
  • Unlike traditional surgery, the system does not require any incisions, reducing the risk of complications and promoting rapid healing.
  • With this system, minimal blood loss occurs during the procedure, ensuring safe outcomes and continuity of care for patients on blood thinners, such as aspirin or warfarin.
  • The advanced technology used in this system allows for a rapid recovery, reducing the duration of hospitalisation and the burden on patients and their families (some mild tinge is expected during recovery).
  • It prioritises potency preservation, ensuring that patients maintain their confidence and quality of life.
  • With this treatment, patients can enjoy the benefit of no erectile dysfunction, ensuring that their sexual function remains intact post-procedure.

This system from Focal Healthcare, Canada, is the first installation in the country.

Traditionally, for cases where prostate cancer is suspected, doctors recommend systematic biopsies guided by ultrasound imaging.

Because ultrasound is inadequate for visualizing cancers, random samples are harvested without any certainty regarding the presence and location of the cancer. This causes the cancer to either be missed entirely or if the cancer is detected, the failure to ascertain its severity. Thus, men with serious malignancies may not receive appropriate and adequate treatments and those with indolent diseases may receive more treatment than necessary.

To detect areas of tissue to be tested, doctors may use various imaging techniques, such as MRI and ultrasound.

The prostate fusion biopsy system Fusion Bx utilises both MRI and ultrasound images to map the area around the prostate as accurately as possible. It is one of the most accurate methods available to identify possible areas in and around the prostate that might be cancerous. Compared with other techniques, it reduces the amount of tissue needed for a biopsy by implementing accurate needle guidance to the targeted site. Software-assisted fusion and the guided four-step workflow allow physicians to accurately target lesions with minimal training.
