Minimally Invasive Treatment of Enlarged Prostate of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH):

Common in older men, Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that enlarges your prostate gland, blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. BPH can also cause urinary infections or kidney problems. With our minimally invasive treatments, we’re able to treat BPH, improve urinary health and help prevent urinary and kidney infections.

Endoscopic Laser Treatment of Kidney, Ureter, or Bladder Stones:

If you’re experiencing pain or trouble urinating caused by stones, our advanced endoscopic surgery is a procedure designed to break down the stones and allow them to pass through your urinary tract.

Laparoscopic (key-hole) Kidney Surgery:

If you’re experiencing kidney pain or bloody urine due to renal cysts or tumors, Laparoscopic (key-hole) Kidney Surgery is a minimally invasive surgery designed to remove the cysts or tumors present on your kidneys.

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors (TURBT):

Designed to diagnose and treat early stage bladder cancer, TURBT is a biopsy procedure that takes a tissue sample where a cancerous growth may exist. If cancer is present, we can remove the cancerous tissue by inserting a resectoscope in the urethra in a process called resection. This process is minimally invasive and doesn’t require incisions.

Retrograde Laser Endopyelotomy:

A retrograde laser endopyelotomy is an endoscopic surgery designed to repair the urinary tract and improve the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. This procedure requires no incisions and offers a rapid recovery.

Laser Urethrotomy:

If you are diagnosed with stricture (narrowed section) caused by the scarring of your urethra, a Laser Urethrotomy is a minimally invasive surgery designed to open up the urethra and correct the flow of urine from the bladder.

Screening and Management of Genitourinary Tumors:

Our advanced medical center allows us to diagnose, treat, and manage Genitourinary Tumors present in your prostate, kidney, bladder, or testicular cancers. Once screened, we offer minimally invasive procedures to treat your diagnosis quickly.

Scrotal & Genital Surgery:

If you’re experiencing varicocele, hydrocele or spermatocele we offer minimally invasive procedures to correct the blockage in the veins. We also offer circumcision and the insertion of prosthetic testicular implants as well.

Female Incontinence Management:

If you’re a female experiencing stress incontinence, we offer two procedures to help remedy you: Transobturator Tape (TOT) slings and Intravesical Botox injections. TOT slings require placement of mesh around the pubic bones beneath the urethra, a minimally invasive procedure with minimal down time. Intravesical Botox injections is another form of Female Incontinence Management that uses botox to help relax the muscles in your bladder and help reduce incontinence.

TRUS-Guided Prostate Biopsy:

A Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) Guided Biopsy can be performed to help us diagnose and treat signs of prostate cancer, benign hyperplasia (BPH) or other prostate conditions. This procedure involves a small needle and probe that is used to image the area surrounding the prostate as well as collect tissue samples for further testing and examination.

Cystoscopy & Diagnostic Ureteroscopy:

A cystoscopy is a test to diagnose the health of your urethra and bladder. A small scope is inserted in your urethra to examine your urethra and collect any tissue samples for further testing and examination. Similarly, a diagnostic ureteroscopy is an examination that test the health of your kidneys and ureter.

Retrograde Ascending Urethrography:

A Retrograde Ascending Urethrography is a radiological procedure to determine the health and integrity of the urethra. This process helps to determine further tests and treatments that may be required.
