• Urologic Surgery

    Surgical and medical treatment for diseases of the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs

  • Urologic surgery is the integration of surgical activities in the branch of medicine concerned with the anatomy, physiology, disorders, and care of the urinary tract in men and women and of the male genital tract, primarily for the treatment of obstructions, dysfunction, malignancies and inflammatory diseases. Common urologic procedures include:

    • da Vinci ® Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
    • Open Radical Prostatectomy
    • Prostate Biopsy
    • da Vinci® Laparoscopic surgery for Kidney Conditions
    • da Vinci® Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy
    • Cystectomy (bladder removal with reconstructive neo-bladder)
    • Male Sterilization (vasectomy)
    • Cystoscopy
    • Urodynamics Study
    • Interstim® (sacral nerve stimulation)
    • Transvaginal Taping (sling procedure)
    • Prolapse Repair Surgery
    • Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT)
    • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
    • Laser Vaporization of the Prostate
    • Laser Procedures for Kidney Stones, including:
      • Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy
      • ESWL (Shock-Wave Lithotripsy)
      • PUL (Percutaneous Ultrasonic Lithotripsy)

    Today, surgery is less traumatic, with shortened hospitalizations. Minimally invasive surgeries are the norm in many cases, with new laparoscopic procedures developed each year. Laparoscopic surgery is effective for many kidney tumors and kidney removal (nephrectomy), lymph node excision, prostate and ureteral cancers, as well as incontinence, urological reconstruction, kidney stones, and some cases of bladder dysfunction.
