The past few years have pushed medical and technological barriers to find appropriate solutions to accelerate measures to prevent and treat non-communicable diseases with varying degrees of success. Oncology is one such area that has received much attention — and rightly so.

 

Specifically in Urology, data from a landmark study show that approximately 62% of diseases associated with prology and urology are caused by non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, etc. In comparison, 27.5% are due to infectious diseases such as minor infectious diseases, urinary tract infections, etc. 1 By 2020, the estimated number of cases of cervical, kidney & abdominal cancer was more than 85,000 in India.

 

A major focus of uro-oncology has been prostate cancer, the leading cancer in men in India. Although it usually affects men aged 65+ for 2 years, in recent years, there has been an increase in cancer cases among young men, especially in urban areas.

 

The range of available treatment options and the 5-year survival rate in men diagnosed with prostate cancer is directly related to the stage of the disease with a survival rate of almost 100% of primary cervical cancer. In India, however, the five-year survival rate for prostate cancer is 64%. These differences reflect the late diagnosis and lack of awareness of appropriate treatment options among the Indian population. This, combined with limited infrastructure, has significantly increased disease burden among patients.

 

To improve awareness and encourage early diagnosis and better treatment outcomes, September has been commemorated as a uro-oncology month focused on prostate cancer. Uro-oncologists are trained to identify and treat these conditions by removing the affected organ while carefully placing the unaffected areas. Surgery is often the main treatment for most urologic cancers. If urologic cancer is no longer effective, treatment may also include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy. Surgical intervention may include open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery, depending on the patient's overall health, stage of the disease, and other considerations.

 

Open surgery to remove prostate to treat prostate cancer performed locally has been considered a gold standard since the introduction of open retropubic radical prostatectomy treatment in 1947. However, this approach was associated with a higher rate of illness and a longer recovery time. With the introduction and approval of laparoscopic surgery in the 1980s, the first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) was performed in 1992. The main limitation of LRP was the challenge of waist control. After its introduction of urology nearly two decades ago, robotic surgery has provided a new way to treat urine waste. Recent research has also suggested that adverse procedures such as robot-assisted surgery provide encouraging oncologic effects including those reported in open surgery. The use of this surgical tool has increased its popularity throughout the group and has seen the establishment of more robotic centers around the country and the increasing availability of robotic surgeons.

 

Some of the benefits of radical prostatectomy (RARP) assisted by robots over retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) are well documented. These reported benefits of open Robotic Prostate surgery include reduced hospital stay, reduced blood loss, and lower surgical complications. In addition, because of better understanding of functional anatomy and improved surgical procedures, erectile function and the urinary tract are known to have similar effects over time. Robotic systems are aided by the idea of ​​3-chip cameras that bring enhanced three-dimensional vision and improve in-depth understanding of the surgeon. In addition, Robotic instruments have "endo wrist" technology that allows for smooth, bizarre movements in many high-altitude aircraft.

 

In summary, the provision of Robotic is an established / emerging technology for many urologic procedures with an acceptable safety profile. Over the past decade, the adoption of robotic care has opened the way for urologists to examine a whole host of reconstruction procedures, related to complete removal and kidney transplantation. Over time, the impact of robotic systems and devices on complex urology surgery and beyond may continue to increase. In addition, by expanding the capacity of surgeons to plan and perform surgical operations unnecessarily, robotic surgical systems have the potential to help address the pressing need to improve the efficiency of India's health delivery system.

Introduction

Urinary organs remove blood impurities through urine There are many types of disorders in the urinary organ. Some disorders are very dangerous Initially there are minor symptoms but later on they take a severe form.Take the advice of the doctor in the beginning.

In older people, a gland is formed in the upper part of the urinary organ, which causes difficulty in urinating.

Urinary organs in women are susceptible to disease

Kidney stone disease is also a common complaint

Some contagious diseases are also spread through sexual intercourse.

enlarged prostate gland

Enlargement of the prostate gland is a common complaint of older people

This gland is located between the bladder and the urinary tract

In this disease, the person has difficulty in urinating and passing stool.

Urine either does not come or comes out drop by drop. Sometimes the patient is unable to urinate for several days.

If the patient also feels fever, then it should be understood that the disease is contagious.

The patient is unable to empty the bladder completely, due to which he urinates frequently.

prostate health

Some of the scientific studies are challenging of what has traditionally been considered nutritionally nutritious foods in Western countries. There is mounting evidence that suggests that milk may be bad for the prostate. The countries that consume the most milk have the most enlarged prostate levels. The problem appears to be calcium in milk. Excessive calcium consumption apparently inhibits the synthesis of a form of vitamin D that helps inhibit prostate cancer. Men who consume tomatoes, tomato-based foods, watermelon, and pink grapefruit are reportedly less likely to get prostate cancer.

Many trace nutrients that are often lacking in our diets also enhance prostate health. Zinc deficiency specifically affects the prostate because this gland uses it more than any other organ, so a zinc supplementation can reduce an enlarged prostate. Selenium is another trace nutrient that is essential for prostate health. Increasing selenium intake has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Additional nutritional factors that may inhibit prostate cancer include vitamin E, vitamin D, soy-based foods, and garlic.

urinary tract disease

In this disease, there is an effect of contagion on the urinary tract and bladder.

This disease is more common in women

Many women have a feeling of fingering after sex

Sometimes there is fever, shivering and headache

have trouble urinating

frequent urination

Urinary tract disease becomes difficult

urine is cloudy or reddish in color

lower back pain

sometimes legs hurt

When severe, the face and legs swell.

 

prevention and prevention

 

Cleanse the body after defecation

keep anus clean

Drink at least ten glasses of water daily

If you do not get relief, consult a doctor.

kidney or bladder stones

Stones form in the kidney where thick amounts of urine accumulate.

This results in the formation of small particles which later become small or large stones.

When it becomes a stone, there is pain in the passage of urine, blood can also come out from the stool. There is usually severe pain in the back, ribs or lower abdomen.Sometimes the urinary tract gets clogged. Source: Sansarg, Xavier Social Service Institute
