Urological Health Needs

Urologists provide diagnosis, management, and treatment for urinary system diseases and conditions affecting male and female reproductive organs. You may need to see a urologist if you find blood in your urine, have a difficult time urinating, can’t control your bladder, or are having difficulty with sexual activities. Pain in the groin, kidney, or lower abdomen area are also symptoms that can be diagnosed and treated by a urologist.

Some of the issues our Urology Team treats include:

• Elevated PSA
• Incontinence
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
• Bladder Infections
• Kidney Stones
• Enlarged prostate
• Pediatric Urology
• Overactive Bladder
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Cancer (Kidney, Prostate, Bladder, Testis)

Medical and Surgical Treatments

Many urologists are dual-trained in medicine and surgery. When dealing with any medical problem, you and your care provider will want to explore the least invasive options first. In urology, non-surgical treatments usually include antibiotics and medications. Some urological conditions, however, will require surgery.

There are many minimally invasive procedures used in urology surgery. Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center is equipped with the state-of-the-art da Vinci® robotic surgical system. This sophisticated device allows urologists to perform a wide array of minimally invasive surgeries which only require a few small incisions. With the da Vinci system, surgeons control robotic instruments that can bend, rotate, and move more steadily than the human hand. It allows them to perform operations with more accuracy and control than ever before.

Urologists perform the following surgeries:

• da Vinci® Robotic surgery
• Laparoscopic surgery
• Prostate surgery
• Bladder surgery
• Kidney surgery
• Lithotripsy
• Laser surgery
• Cystoscopy
• Kidney stone removal
