Dr. Gaurav Vinod Kasat is associated with Fortis Hiranandani Hospital in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where patients can access urological evaluation and treatment. His approach focuses on assessing each patient's condition and selecting appropriate treatment based on clinical findings and individual needs.

Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and may cause severe pain, blood in the urine, nausea, or difficulty passing urine. Treatment depends on stone size, location, and symptoms. Options may include hydration and medication, shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy for larger stones.

Prostate Enlargement Treatment

Benign prostate enlargement can cause frequent urination, a weak urinary stream, difficulty starting urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication, or procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and prostate laser surgery. The recommended option depends on symptom severity, prostate size, and the patient's overall health.

Prostate Cancer Surgery

Prostate cancer treatment depends on the cancer's stage, grade, and the patient's overall health. Options may include active surveillance, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or surgery. Radical prostatectomy is an operation to remove the prostate gland in selected patients. Treatment planning involves evaluating potential benefits, risks, urinary function, and other individual factors.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment

Urinary tract infections may cause burning during urination, frequent urges to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort, or cloudy urine. Diagnosis may involve urine testing and, when appropriate, urine culture. Treatment depends on the infection's location, severity, and likely cause. Fever, flank pain, or vomiting may indicate a more serious infection requiring prompt medical attention.

Ureterostomy

Ureterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening for urine to drain from a ureter to the body's surface. It may be considered in selected circumstances when normal urinary drainage needs to be diverted. The reason for surgery, expected duration, and aftercare depend on the patient's underlying condition and treatment plan.

Internal Urethrotomy

Internal urethrotomy is an endoscopic procedure used to treat selected urethral strictures, which are narrow areas in the tube that carries urine out of the body. The procedure involves making an incision in the narrowed area to improve urine flow. Suitability depends on the stricture's length, location, severity, and whether it has returned after previous treatment.

Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation is a treatment option for selected patients with advanced kidney failure. The procedure places a healthy donor kidney into the recipient, followed by long-term monitoring and medicines to reduce the risk of rejection. Eligibility requires a comprehensive medical evaluation, donor assessment, and ongoing specialist care.

Robotic Urological Surgery

Robotic urological surgery uses specialised instruments and a magnified surgical view to assist with selected urinary tract and reproductive system operations. It may be considered for certain prostate, kidney, and reconstructive procedures. Whether robotic surgery is suitable depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, overall health, available facilities, and the surgeon's assessment.

Andrology Treatment

Andrology focuses on male reproductive and sexual health, including selected conditions affecting fertility, erectile function, and the male reproductive system. Assessment may involve medical history, examination, laboratory tests, and other investigations where appropriate. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause and may include lifestyle measures, medication, or selected procedures.

Urinary Obstruction Treatment

Urinary obstruction occurs when urine flow is blocked or restricted somewhere in the urinary tract. Causes can include kidney stones, prostate enlargement, strictures, or other structural conditions. Treatment depends on the site and cause of the blockage and may involve medication, endoscopic procedures, surgery, or urgent drainage when necessary.
