Urology Procedures We Offer

Kidney Stone Treatment

  • Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): A non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces, making them easier to pass through the urinary tract.
  • Ureteroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure where a small tube with a camera is inserted into the urethra and bladder to locate and remove or break up kidney stones, often using laser technology.
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): For larger or more complex kidney stones, this procedure involves a small incision in the back to remove the stones directly from the kidney.

Prostate Treatments

  • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): A common surgical procedure used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) by removing excess prostate tissue, which improves urine flow and relieves symptoms.
  • Laser Prostate Surgery: A minimally invasive option to treat BPH, where a laser is used to remove or vaporize excess prostate tissue, offering reduced bleeding and quicker recovery time.
  • Prostate Biopsy: A procedure where tissue samples are taken from the prostate for examination to diagnose conditions like prostate cancer.

Minimally Invasive Urological Surgeries

  • Laparoscopic Surgery: Also known as minimally invasive surgery, this procedure uses small incisions and a camera to treat conditions like kidney tumors, prostate issues, or bladder problems with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
  • Robotic-Assisted Surgery: A cutting-edge surgical option that offers greater precision, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery, used for complex urological surgeries like prostate cancer treatment and kidney removal.

Vasectomy and Vasectomy Reversal

  • Vasectomy: A permanent form of male sterilization where the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm) is cut or sealed to prevent pregnancy. It's a safe and highly effective procedure with a short recovery time.
  • Vasectomy Reversal: If a man wishes to restore fertility after a vasectomy, this procedure reconnects the vas deferens to allow sperm to be present in the semen again.

Bladder Procedures

  • Cystoscopy: A diagnostic procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera to view the inside of the bladder and urethra. This helps identify conditions such as bladder cancer, bladder stones, or infections.
  • Bladder Botox Injections: For patients with overactive bladder, Botox injections can help reduce symptoms by relaxing the bladder muscles and reducing the frequency of urination.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Male Infertility Treatments

  • Penile Implants: For patients with severe erectile dysfunction, penile implants provide a long-term solution to restore sexual function.
  • Male Infertility Treatments: We offer a range of treatments for male infertility, including varicocele surgery, hormone therapy, and sperm retrieval techniques.

Urinary Incontinence Treatments

  • Slings and Implants: For patients with urinary incontinence, we offer treatments like bladder slings to support the urethra and improve bladder control.
  • Botox Injections for Incontinence: For severe cases of incontinence, Botox can be injected into the bladder muscle to help control involuntary urination.

Kidney Cancer and Bladder Cancer Surgery

  • Partial or Radical Nephrectomy: For kidney cancer, we may perform a partial nephrectomy (removal of part of the kidney) or a radical nephrectomy (complete removal of the kidney) using minimally invasive techniques.
  • Cystectomy: For bladder cancer, we may perform a cystectomy to remove part or all of the bladder, followed by reconstruction options like a neobladder or urinary diversion.
