GREENLIGHT LASER TECHNOLOGY

Our hospital successfully performs the greenlight laser treatment method, which has become a very effective alternative treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in recent years.

KIDNEY - WHAT IS RENAL CANCER?

Kidney cancer (adenocarcinoma) is a type of cancer that develops in cells lining glandular types of internal organs such as the kidney. Substances in the blood are filtered from about 1 million tiny filters in the kidney. This fluid is re-absorbed by the body, passing through the small channels in the kidney. More ingredients are excreted and this creates urine, which is clearly laid out. Urine enters the pelvis through the small collecting pools in the kidney and is then transmitted to the bladder for storage in the ureter for a period of time. Adenocarcinoma (kidney cancer) is caused from small tubes of urine (tubule). Smoking and excessive use of pain relievers increase the risk of kidney cancer.

PNL SYSTEM - PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTRIPSY (PNL)
Kidney stones are a resultant of crystallization of the chemical salts and their combination in the urinary tract. It is often difficult for patients to pass stones bigger than 2 cm from the kidney through urinary tract. In these cases, the stones are broken using the ESWL stone breaker devices.

The most important tasks of the kidney are to remove bodily waste material and excess salts produced in urine, while at the same time filtering the blood. The urine formed by the kidney comes from gradually enlarged collec- ting channels within the kidney and is passed to the renal pelvis. From here, urine is transmitted to the ureter and urinary bladder to be stored for a period of time.

BLADDER CANCER
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor caused by the forma- tion of cells from the bladder’s wall tissues. In the bladder, three types of malignant tumor may develop:

- Uroepithelial carcinoma

- Squamous cell carcinoma

- Adenocarcinoma

What is neurogenic bladder?

Neurogenic bladder is named for the loss of normal blad- der functions caused by a section in the nervous system, trauma, infection, surgery birth, etc. Main risk factors for the development of neurogenic bladder include: spinal birth defect, tumoral spinal cord, traumatic spinal cord injury, etc.

PROSTATE CANCER

The prostate is the given name for a small gland located below the bladder in men. The normal weight of the pros- tate is approximately 18-20 grams. The prostate gland is present only in males and surrounds the urethra outlet bladder. There are two urinary retention defects common in men: internal and external.
