FAQs

Q: What does blood in the urine indicate?
Blood in the urine, or hematuria, can be a sign of various conditions ranging from minor infections to serious malignancies like bladder or kidney cancer. It is often caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, or an enlarged prostate, but it always requires a professional evaluation to rule out structural or life-threatening issues.
Q: What is robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and how does it benefit prostate cancer patients?
This is a minimally invasive surgery where a surgeon uses robotic arms to remove the cancerous prostate gland with extreme precision. Patients typically benefit from significantly less blood loss, reduced post-operative pain, and a faster return to normal urinary and sexual function compared to traditional open surgery.
Q: What urological cancers can be treated laparoscopically rather than through open surgery?
Laparoscopic techniques are commonly used to treat cancers of the kidney (nephrectomy), prostate, and adrenal glands. This "keyhole" approach allows for the removal of tumors through small incisions, which reduces hospital stays and minimizes the physical trauma associated with large abdominal cuts.
Q: Is Dr. Shashikant Gupta a good urologist for cancer and kidney transplant in Lucknow?
Dr. Shashikant Gupta is a highly regarded specialist with over 12 years of experience and a prestigious fellowship in Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery from RGCIRC, New Delhi. He has performed more than 2,500 urological and uro-oncological surgeries, making him one of the most qualified experts in the region for complex transplants and cancer care.
Q: What are the criteria for live versus deceased donor kidney transplant surgery?
A live donor transplant involves a healthy relative or compatible individual voluntarily donating a kidney, which usually results in better long-term outcomes and a shorter waiting period. Deceased donor transplants rely on organs from individuals who have been declared brain dead and are allocated based on a waiting list and medical urgency.
Q: What is Dr. Shashikant Gupta's experience in uro-oncology and robotic surgery at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
Dr. Gupta has extensive experience in the field, having performed over 1,000 robotic-assisted uro-oncological procedures. His expertise covers advanced robotic surgeries for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, utilizing the latest robotic technology available at Apollo Hospitals.
Q: What kidney transplant experience does Dr. Shashikant Gupta have?
Dr. Gupta holds an MCh in Urology and Renal Transplant from the prestigious Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS). He has participated in over 500 renal transplant surgeries, including both live-related and ABO-incompatible transplants, focusing on high graft survival rates.
Q: What are urological cancers?
Urological cancers affect the organs of the urinary system and the male reproductive tract, including the prostate, bladder, kidneys, and testicles. Among these, prostate cancer is the most frequent in men, while bladder and kidney cancers are also significant health concerns that often present with symptoms like blood in the urine.
Q: What common urological procedures does Dr. Shashikant Gupta specialize in?
Beyond oncology and transplants, he is an expert in advanced laser procedures like HoLEP for enlarged prostates and RIRS for kidney stones. He also performs complex reconstructive surgeries and manages endourological cases using minimally invasive techniques.
