Frequently Asked Questions about Urology

Urology Surgeons

The Urology doctor typically first sees the results of the tests ordered to assess the overall health of the patient. Based on the initial assessment, the doctor would prepare a treatment plan tailored according to the individualized needs of the patients. The treatment plan for Urology, its alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the treatment cost is thoroughly discussed with the patient to seek their approval.

Once the patient gives his or her consent, the Urology surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Urology and share a scheduled date of the procedure with the patient. The patient is advised to follow a few instructions as given by the Urology surgeon. In addition, the Urology hospital initiates the formalities and informs the patient about the estimated cost. The patient is accordingly required to submit documents for any insurance claim approval.

What is the Urology surgeon responsible for?

The surgeon is responsible for the preoperative diagnosis of the Urology patient, for performing the operation, and for providing the patient with postoperative surgical care and treatment. The surgeon is worked as the leader of the Urology surgical team.
