The shock waves are focused by x-ray onto the kidney stone where they break it into small fragments. These small fragments are passed out of the body in the urine.
Retrograde Intra Renal Surgery allows to reach the kidney from the ureter. A flexible ureteroscope is used for this procedure. Through this device a laser fiber is used to treat the stones. This surgery does not involve any cuts and hence, has a very fast recovery time. Majority of renal stones can be cleared by Retrograde Intra Renal Surgery without open surgery.

While removal of one kidney can affect overall kidney function, most patients with the other healthy kidneys will not develop end stage renal disease or require dialysis after nephrectomy.
Partial nephrectomy can be performed through an open incision or laparoscopic surgery. During partial nephrectomy, the surgeon removes the tumor sparing the remainder of kidney and saving kidney function.

After surgery men passing urine will not be affected and will have control of urination. Total Penectomy is a long surgical process and done with general anesthesia and likely to take several hours to complete.

It is completely noninvasive and well-suited for patients with small kidney stones. However the doctor will determine if Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is the right approach for you.
During urereteroscopy, a small tube with camera is inserted through the urethra and bladder to reach the kidney stone in the ureter. The kidney stones are either caught in a basket or fragmented with a laser depending on the size. Most patients are given a temporary stent to ensure that the kidney continues to drain urine. This procedure is done by general anesthesia.

Peyronnie's disease is from fibrous scar tissue that develops on the penis and causes curved, painful erections. But Peyronie's disease causes a significant bend or pain in some men having a curved erection. This can prevent having sex intercourse or might make it difficult to get or maintain an erection. Peyronie's disease also causes stress and anxiety with many men. Early diagnosis and treatment soon after developing the condition such as such as pain, curvature and penile shortening may keep it from getting worse.
Correction of congenital erectile curvature is done by shortening the side of the penis opposite the curvature to match the other side. This results in a straightened erection with high rate of success which can be can be performed in an outpatient setting.

The surgeon stitches to close the tear and restore or maintain the ability to have erections and preserve urinary function.
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the human penis. In the most common procedure, were the foreskin is opened, adhesions are removed, and the foreskin is separated from the penis. Circumcision reduces the bacteria that can live under the foreskin which causes urinary tract infections or Sexually transmitted diseases.
