Urological Surgery

Our urologists perform advanced robotic surgery including laparoscopic, endoscopic and lasers, providing patients with a minimally invasive approach and faster recovery time. 

Endoscopic Procedures (using scopes)

Bladder, Prostate and Urethra

• Cystosocopy – to diagnose cancers and abnormalities of the lower urinary tract
• Bladder and urethral biopsy
• Removal of bladder tumors (TURBT)
• Destruction of bladder lesions (fulguration)
• Opening of narrow urethra (DVIU)
• Bladder chemotherapy instillation (Mitomycin)
• Removal of enlarged prostate tissue (TURP)
  • Bipolar TURP
  • Laser TURP (Photovaporization)
• Urethral bulking agents
• Botox injection
• Ureteroscopy – visualizing the upper urinary tract (kidney and ureter) for stone procedures as well as to diagnose strictures or masses in these areas

Stone Removal Procedures

• Removal of stones in bladder (cystolithalopaxy)
• Removal of stones in ureter and kidney
  • Shock Wave treatment (ESWL)
  • Ureteroscopy - using a laser to break up and remove stone
  • Percutaneous stone removal – using a small hole in your back to remove larger stones

Scrotal / Penile Procedures

• Circumcision (young boys [older than 6 months] through adulthood)
• Revision circumcision (typically in young boys with an incomplete circumcision at birth)
• Penile exploration – for trauma to the penis
• Testicular removal (orchiectomy) for cancer
• Hydrocele removal
• Removal of epididymal cysts or entire epididymis
• Removal of tumors in spermatic cord
• Varicocele repair

Urologic Implant Surgery

• Penile implants for erectile dysfunction
• Artificial sphincter for severe incontinence
• Sling surgery (men and women) for incontinence

Cancer surgery

• Prostatectomy (prostate cancer)
• Nephrectomy (kidney cancer)
  • Full removal (radical), as well as partial removal (kidney-sparing surgery)
  • Adrenalectomy (removal of adrenal glands)
  • Orchiectomy (removal of testicular tumor)

*** The above surgery can be performed robotically in most situations.

Reconstructive surgery

• UPJ obstruction repair (pyeloplasty)
• Ureteral stricture repair
• Ureteral re-implant
• Bladder diverticulum

*** The above surgeries are performed robotically in most situations.
