Surgery for Blocked Urine Passages and Injuries
Surgery for Blocked Urine Passages and Injuries
Urinary blockages and injuries to the urinary tract can lead to severe complications if not addressed promptly. These conditions may result from trauma, infections, congenital abnormalities, prostate enlargement, or scar formation due to previous surgeries. Dr. Marneni Steve Richards, a highly skilled Consultant Urologist with over 13 years of experience, offers expert surgical care for patients suffering from obstructed urine flow and urinary tract injuries.
Blocked urine passages—whether in the urethra, ureter, or bladder outlet—can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating, reduced urine flow, recurrent urinary infections, back pain, and kidney swelling (hydronephrosis).
One of the common causes of urinary obstruction is urethral stricture, where scar tissue narrows the passage of urine. Dr. Richards performs advanced procedures such as urethrotomy, urethroplasty, and endoscopic balloon dilatation to effectively restore normal urinary flow.
In cases of ureteric obstruction—often due to stones, tumors, or external compression—Dr. Richards may recommend ureteral stenting, laser lithotripsy, or reconstructive procedures to open the blocked passage and preserve kidney function. He carefully evaluates each case using diagnostic imaging like ultrasound, CT scans, and uroflowmetry before deciding on the most appropriate surgical method.
Urinary tract injuries, whether from accidents, pelvic fractures, or previous surgeries, require careful surgical repair. Dr. Richards is experienced in managing injuries to the bladder, urethra, kidneys, and surrounding organs. He offers both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, depending on the complexity of the injury and the patient’s condition.
His surgical approach prioritizes preserving normal function, minimizing pain, and ensuring a faster recovery. Every patient is offered a personalized treatment plan with complete pre-operative counseling and post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes.
At Srikara Hospitals, Miyapur, patients benefit from modern surgical infrastructure, advanced diagnostic tools, and a dedicated team led by Dr. Marneni Steve Richards.
