Key Services

Minimally Invasive and Laparoscopic Treatments

HMC offers both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures are used to reduce recovery times and improve patient outcomes. Dedicated stone management services use state-of-the-art techniques such as laser lithotripsy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWL) for kidney stone treatment.

Uro-oncology services at HMC support patients with bladder, kidney and prostate cancers, with collaborative and expert care by working closely with the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) to achieve the best outcome possible for every patient.

Male Infertility

Surgical interventions including Gold-standard microsurgical interventions for male infertility are available when indicated. The unit also collaborates closely with assisted reproductive technology (ART) units for advanced fertility care. The service integrates clinical care with patient education and counseling, ensuring a holistic and culturally sensitive approach.

Voiding Dysfunction

The Voiding Dysfunction Unit offers specialist care for male and female patients with lower urinary tract symptoms, neurogenic bladder, incontinence and complex urological disorders. The unit provides advanced diagnostics, including urodynamic studies, cystoscopy and bladder ultrasound.

Shock Wave Lithotripsy

HMC provides state-of-the-art extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) services for the non-invasive treatment of kidney and ureteric stones. The procedure is performed by experienced urologists using advanced lithotripters to fragment stones safely and effectively. Patients are carefully selected based on stone size, location and composition, with pre- and post-treatment imaging to monitor outcomes. ESWL is offered as an outpatient procedure, allowing rapid recovery and minimal disruption to daily life.
