Urological cancer treatment in Dubai
via minimal invasive treatment with laparoscopic and robotic surgeries
Urological tumors encompass a broad range of cancers that affect the urinary tract system, including the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and ureters.
Timely detection and treatment of urological cancers are essential for optimal outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for patients.
As one of Dubai’s leading specialists in urological cancer treatment, Dr Muthana Alrawi provides cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments that harness the power of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries to manage and treat these challenging conditions.
Understanding Urological Tumours
Urological tumours can manifest as benign or malignant growths in various parts of the urinary system.
While some tumours may be asymptomatic in their early stages, many patients experience symptoms such as blood in urine, frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, or back pain. Common types of urological cancers include:
Kidney Cancer: This cancer originates in the kidney cells and impairs their function of filtering waste from the blood. Symptoms often include blood in the urine, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss.
Bladder Cancer: When cancer develops in the bladder lining, it often results in symptoms like blood in the urine, frequent urination, and pelvic pain.
Prostate Cancer: One of the most common cancers among men, affecting the prostate gland. Symptoms can include difficulty urinating or pain in the lower back and hips.
Ureteral Cancer: A rare form of cancer that affects the ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Early detection and accurate diagnosis of urological tumours are essential to tailoring the right treatment plan. Dr Muthana Alrawi’s expertise in urological cancer treatment in Dubai ensures that patients receive the most appropriate care through conservative or advanced surgical interventions.

Minimally Invasive Urological Cancer Treatment in Dubai:Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeries
In the past, treating urological cancers often required large incisions, leading to extended recovery periods and significant post-surgical discomfort. With the progress in medical technology, minimally invasive treatments have significantly changed the landscape of urological oncology.
Laparoscopic and robotic surgeries are two of the most effective minimally invasive techniques for treating urological tumours. They offer patients shorter recovery times, reduced risks of complications, and enhanced surgical precision.
Laparoscopic Surgery for Urological Tumours: Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, requires making a few small incisions through which a camera (laparoscope) and specialised instruments are inserted.
This method allows the surgeon to view the affected area on a screen, facilitating precise tumour removal with minimal disturbance to nearby tissues. Laparoscopic surgery is frequently employed to treat kidney and bladder cancers.
For kidney cancer, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy may be performed to remove the tumour while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. For bladder cancer, laparoscopic cystectomy may be used to remove the bladder while preserving nearby structures.
Robotic Surgery for Urological Tumours: Robotic-assisted surgery, usually conducted with the da Vinci Surgical System, provides superior precision and control during minimally invasive surgeries.
Using the robotic system, the surgeon manipulates small, controlled instruments through tiny incisions. The system’s 3D high-definition camera provides an enhanced view of the surgical site, allowing for more accurate tumour removal.
Robotic surgery is particularly beneficial for complex urological cancers, such as prostate cancer. A robotic prostatectomy enables surgeons to remove the prostate gland while sparing critical nerves and tissues, minimising the risk of complications such as erectile dysfunction and incontinence.
The robotic-assisted system’s dexterity and range of motion allow Dr Muthana Alrawi to offer unparalleled accuracy in tumour excision and organ preservation. As a result, patients experience less blood loss, smaller scars, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Urological Cancer Treatment
The benefits of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries for urological cancer treatment are extensive. The advantages of these advanced techniques over traditional open surgeries make them an ideal option for many patients. Some key benefits include:
- Minimally invasive methods lead to smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and a more aesthetically pleasing result.
- These surgeries often lead to shorter hospital stays and quicker recoveries, so patients can return to their normal life sooner.
- With smaller incisions, there’s typically less postoperative pain and a reduced need for pain medication.
- The risk of infection is minimised with smaller incisions, as opposed to traditional surgery.
- Robotic and laparoscopic techniques offer greater precision, minimising errors and improving the chances of a successful result.
