Urology
Urology specializes in treating patients with a wide range of urologic situation. With in-depth experience in a variety of urologic procedures, our talented team gives comprehensive care for patients with advanced and hard cases. Focused on treating each patient as a whole person, we strive to deliver the highest level of care in the state.
Urologists (also known as urological surgeons) treat problems of the female urinary system and the male genitourinary tract. They diagnose and treat disorders of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, prostate and male reproductive organs.
Urologists are surgeons, but much of their work also engages the medical management of situation or disease without surgery. They work with patients of all ages from babies and children to elderly people.
Urology was the first surgical specialty to use minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopy and key-hole surgery, techniques which continue to be on a regular basis used by urologists. Urology is also at the forefront of developments in robot-assisted surgery.
Urologists use a thin lighted instrument known as a cystoscope to examine the bladder and urethra. Other situation can also be treated using endoscopic (telescopic) procedures including the removal of bladder tumors and treatment of bladder and kidney stones.
