Services Provided
You will undergo a CT scan specific for evaluation of the urinary tract, also referred to as “CT-IVU (Intravenous Urography)” which will allow us to evaluate the kidneys and ureters (the ducts which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder). Once you have changed into your gown, you will have a cannula inserted into a vein in your arm. A CT radiographer will then inject a small amount of intravenous contrast fluid into your vein. This injection may make you feel hot and flushed but this will quickly pass within a few minutes. After about 15 minutes, you will proceed to have a CT scan and a second injection of intravenous contrast is given. The contrast will be excreted into your urine and thus outline the urinary tract. A Radiologist will view your CT images and create a report for the Urologist.

This test is an examination of the bladder with a small flexible camera lasting a few minutes. It is only mildly uncomfortable and is generally well tolerated by most people. During the flexible cystoscopy the Urologist will insert the small camera into your bladder via the urethra (the water pipe leading to the bladder). A local anaesthetic jelly will be used to numb and lubricate the urethra to make passage of the scope into the bladder as comfortable as possible. Attached to the scope is a telescopic lens, a light source and some sterile water to fill your bladder so the lining can be inspected. Once the examination is completed the scope will be removed and you will be able to walk to the toilet and pass the fluid that has been used to fill your bladder, just as if you were passing urine.

This term refers to stones in the urinary system. They form in the kidneys but can be found anywhere in the urinary system. They vary in size and the amount of pain they cause. Many of these stones can pass through without help but some require medical intervention. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most frequently used procedure for the treatment of kidney stones. In ESWL, shock waves that are created outside the body travel through the skin and body tissues until they hit the denser stones. The stones break down into very small particles and are easily passed through the urinary tract in the urine.

A thin wire is inserted into your lower back and guided using x-ray imaging to your kidney. A small incision (cut) is then made on your back and a narrow tube is inserted and follows the guide wire to the kidney. The kidney stone(s) is then removed or broken up.

An incision (cut) is made in the penis and the narrowed part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine to the outside of your body) is removed and the urethra rejoined. In balloon urethroplasty, a thin tube with a balloon attached is inserted into the opening of the penis. When it reaches the narrowed part of the urethra, the balloon is inflated, thus widening the urethra.

A minimally invasive surgery that is commonly used to remove smaller stones in the kidney or upper ureter. Performed under general anaesthetic where a thin tube with a camera and light is inserted through your urethra. Laser from the tube is used to break up the stone into small pieces.
