Advanced Reconstructive Urology in Bengaluru: Restoring Function and Confidence

Advanced Endourology Precision Care for Stones and Prostate (2)

Reconstructive urology is a highly specialized field dedicated to restoring the normal function of the upper and lower urinary tract and male reproductive organs. Whether due to congenital conditions, traumatic injury, infections, or complications from previous surgeries, these issues can deeply affect a patient’s quality of life and psychological well-being.

Under the leadership of Dr. Sreeharsha Harinatha, a world-renowned expert in robotic and reconstructive surgery, our department offers life-changing solutions. Combining 15 years of surgical experience with advanced training from UKSH, Germany, Dr. Sreeharsha provides a compassionate, precision-led approach to reconstructive care.

Our Core Reconstructive Services

1. Urethroplasty: Solving Urethral Strictures

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body, often caused by scar tissue. While temporary fixes like dilation exist, Urethroplasty is the “gold standard” for a permanent cure.

  • Anastomotic Urethroplasty: Removing the scarred section and reconnecting the healthy ends.
  • Substitution Urethroplasty: For longer strictures, we use grafts (often from the inner lining of the cheek, known as Buccal Mucosa) to widen the urethra.
  • Success Rate: Unlike simple stretching, Urethroplasty offers a long-term success rate of over 90-95%.
2. Penile Prosthesis (Penile Implants)

For men suffering from severe Erectile Dysfunction (ED) that does not respond to medication or injections, a penile prosthesis offers a permanent and discreet solution.

  • Malleable Implants: Simple, semi-rigid rods that can be manually positioned.
  • Inflatable Implants (3-Piece): The most advanced option, utilizing a hidden pump and reservoir to provide a natural-feeling erection on demand and complete flaccidity when not in use.
  • The Result: High patient satisfaction rates and a return to a healthy, confident intimate life.
3. Hypospadias Repair (Pediatric & Adult)

Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis. This can affect both urinary flow and future reproductive health.

  • Precision Craftsmanship: Dr. Sreeharsha utilizes micro-surgical techniques to straighten the curvature (chordee) and move the opening to the correct anatomical position.
  • Comprehensive Care: We treat both infants (typically between 6–18 months) and adults who require “redo” or secondary repairs from previous unsuccessful surgeries.
4. Specialized Female Reconstructive Urology

Drawing from his Diploma in Urogynecology from Germany, Dr. Sreeharsha treats complex female conditions including:

  • Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) Repair: Closing abnormal openings between the bladder and vagina.
  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Utilizing robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy for durable results.
Why Choose Dr. Sreeharsha Harinatha?

Choosing a reconstructive surgeon requires looking at more than just a degree. It requires a specialist who understands the delicate balance between anatomy, aesthetics, and function.

  1. Robotic Precision: As an official Proctor for Intuitive Surgicals, Dr. Sreeharsha uses the Da Vinci robotic platform to perform reconstructions with minimal scarring and faster healing.
  2. Global Expertise: With fellowships and training in the USA, France, and Germany, he brings international protocols to Bengaluru.
  3. Comprehensive Mapping: We utilize advanced imaging and MRI-USG fusion technology to map out the reconstruction before the first incision is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days. A small catheter is usually kept in place for 2 weeks to allow the new tissue to heal. Most men return to light office work within a week, though heavy lifting should be avoided for 6 weeks.

No. The implant is designed solely to provide the rigidity needed for intercourse. It does not affect the sensation of the skin, the ability to have an orgasm, or the ability to ejaculate.

Ideally, between 6 and 18 months of age. At this stage, tissue healing is excellent, and the child will have no psychological memory of the procedure. However, we also successfully perform adult hypospadias repairs for those who missed early treatment.

Many reconstructive procedures, such as Urethroplasty and Hypospadias repair, are medically necessary and typically covered. Penile implants depend on the specific insurance policy. Our administrative team can assist you with the necessary documentation.

For complex internal reconstructions (like ureteric repairs or bladder work), robotic surgery offers 10x magnification and 360-degree wrist rotation, allowing for much finer suturing than traditional open surgery.
