Urology

Urology with Tunisia Destination Santé

Urology is a medical discipline that encompasses various specialties, each aimed at treating a different pathology (urinary problems, prostate diseases, cancers, etc.). In Tunisia, we have medical infrastructures specialized in the treatment of these diseases, and we provide our patients with internationally renowned urological surgeons. Discover all the operations we offer.

Urological pathologies may require surgical treatment performed by a urological surgeon. Specialists from other disciplines may collaborate to treat certain cases of infertility or problems related to the reproductive system. Whatever your urology needs, we will put you in touch with our highly qualified specialists and offer you the appropriate treatment. Below is a list of the most requested interventions in Tunisia:

Flexible Ureteroscopy with Laser

Flexible ureteroscopy with laser is a cutting-edge technique. It allows the treatment of upper urinary tract pathology. This recent technique in urology is an effective solution for patients suffering from UUT (treatment of upper urinary tract stones), especially when conventional medical treatments have not yielded results. Ureteroscopy allows for rapid recovery.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

When stones are lodged deep within the kidneys, percutaneous nephrolithotomy is considered. This technique in urology involves inserting a device into the kidney to extract the stones. This procedure will allow the patient to get rid of the stones, which are a source of pain and various complications.

Bipolar Endoscopic Prostate Surgery

Bipolar endoscopic prostate surgery aims to treat certain prostate pathologies that can cause problems during urinary evacuation. The operation consists of removing the adenoma surrounding the urethral canal in order to improve urinary flow. This is a quick, relatively simple urological operation that leaves no scars.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery (kidney, adrenal gland, urogenital prolapse), also called celioscopy, has the advantage of being able to operate on the patient without having to open the abdomen. The practitioner makes a few small incisions in the abdominal area. These incisions will allow him to insert a mini optical camera and the surgical instruments. This method allows the treatment of various urological pathologies that can affect the kidneys, the reproductive system, etc.

Penile Prosthesis Placement

Penile prosthesis placement is a solution to remedy erectile dysfunction (which can be caused by cardiovascular problems or diabetes). This is a urological technique offered to the patient as a last resort when conventional medical treatments have not been successful. It is possible to choose between two types of prostheses: inflatable prostheses and semi-rigid prostheses. The choice of prosthesis will depend on the patient’s health status and needs.

Adult and Newborn Circumcision

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. It is performed in children but also in adults. In addition to religious reasons, there are hygiene reasons that lead adults to undergo circumcision.

Testicular Biopsy and Micro-TESE

The testicular biopsy is a urological surgery performed in cases of azoospermia, or the absence of sperm in the semen. The testicular biopsy allows for the extraction of spermatozoa under high magnification or with a microscope. In this case, we speak of Micro-TESE. It is mainly used in the context of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle.

Plasma Enucleation of the Prostate in Tunisia

Plasma enucleation of the prostate in Tunisia is a modern surgical operation that allows the treatment of prostate enucleation, benign prostatic hyperplasia thanks to plasma. This operation, addressed to male patients suffering from this prostate pathology, is performed by a urological surgeon and a multidisciplinary medical team, in a medical setting with state-of-the-art equipment. Here is everything you need to know about this surgical procedure, including the indications, the principle and the course of the operation.

Urethral Stricture Surgery or Urethroplasty in Tunisia

Urethral stricture surgery or urethroplasty is a surgical operation that treats urethral stenosis. The urethra allows urine to be eliminated from the bladder. In men, it also allows for the evacuation of semen. Urethral stricture can cause several disorders, especially in men. Here’s everything you need to know about this surgical procedure, including the indications, the principle, and the course of the operation.

Varicocele

Varicocele is a dilation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus, the veins that surround and drain the testicle. This dilation is due to a reversal of venous flow which, instead of going from the periphery to the center, goes from the center to the periphery due to a failure of the valves of the veins concerned.
