Treatment is available for diseases such as:
 Bladder, urinary tract, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer
 Kidney stones
 Birth and genetic defects
 Benign prostatic enlargement
 Sexual dysfunction
 Incontinence
 Pediatric urology conditions

Diagnostic and treatment procedures cover the range of invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery, as well as non-invasive procedures - many performed on an outpatient basis, including:

Cystoscopies with advanced imaging techniques for treating the bladder condition  Trans-rectal ultrasound for diagnosing prostate problems  Doppler ultrasounds for diagnosing sexual dysfunction caused by vascular conditions.  Urodynamic testing for diagnosing bladder dysfunction  Invasive and laparoscopic surgery for prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer  Surgery to treat sexual dysfunction and infertility  Surgery for kidney stones and incontinence  Urologic operations to correct congenital defects  Prostate brachytherapy

 Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) – To treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
 Radical prostatectomy – To treat prostate cancer
 Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) – To treat bladder cancer
 Ureteroscopy and PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) – For diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as kidney and ureteral stones
 Treatment for undescended testes (cryptorchidism)
 Brachytherapy – The implantation of radioactive seeds to treat prostate cancer
 Meatotomy – Surgical procedure to repair urethral stricture
 Ureteral stent placement – To treat obstruction of urine flow
 Suprapubic prostatectomy (SPP) and transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) – For benign prostate removal
 Percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) – For kidney stones
 Diagnostic cystoscopy – Endoscopy of the bladder
 Orchidopexy - Repair of undescended testes (cryptorchidism)
 Kidney cancer treatment, mainly laparoscopic
 Testicular cancer treatment
 Bladder cancer treatment
 Prostate cancer treatment

The Surgical Robotics Service offers world-class oncology care and minimally invasive surgery with the new da Vinci Xi Surgical System. The da Vinci Xi Robot allows the surgeon to perform precise laparoscopic procedures – refining and perfecting the movements of the human hand. This accuracy enables surgical oncologists to better target diseased areas while preserving healthy ones. In prostate surgery, this allows more exact removal of cancerous tissue, sparing areas that control sexual and urinary function.
