Urology

Our doctors provide state-of-the-art medical and surgical care in all aspects of urology. They practice the Minimally Invasive procedures which have revolutionized urological treatment, to obtain excellent results, with shorter hospital stay, less discomfort and bleeding, and shorter recovery period after surgery.

CMC urologists have extensive expertise in surgical techniques including:

• Open and minimally invasive radical prostatectomy
• Urologic reconstruction
• Laparoscopy
• Treatment of urinary stones
• Treatment for benign prostate hypertrophy
• Treatment of erectile dysfunction
• Minimally invasive techniques to treat kidney disease
• Treatment of urinary incontinence

Prostate and other urologic cancers:

The CMC Urology department has a strong program in prostate cancer diagnosis, staging and treatment. Our pathologists can identify cancer cells at a much earlier stage of diagnosis, ensuring the best outcomes. Surgeons and oncologists work together to develop the best course of treatment.

With the nerve sparing radical prostatectomy performed at CMC, the majority of patients retain their potency and their continence after the procedure.

Urologic cancers our team excels in treating include:

• Prostate
• Bladder
• Kidney
• Testes
• Penile
• Adrenal

CMC stone center:

The CMC Stone Center provides comprehensive kidney stone care including stone elimination and stone prevention.
Our services:

• Rapid-access stone clinic where patients are given a quick appointment to see a specialist.
• Treatment of simple and complex stone conditions.
• In-house new metabolic stone laboratory services for prevention of stones.

Our priority is to promptly relieve pain from kidney stones and remove stone(s) or facilitate spontaneous stone passage. Then we seek to identify the risk factors for stone disease with appropriate blood and urine tests at our metabolic stone laboratory. Following this, we provide specific fluid and dietary recommendations including medical therapy with close monitoring to prevent new stone formation.

Experience:

Certified urologists who are fellowship trained to deal with complex stone disease, and who has large experience to provide stone lithotripsy, laser treatments, and minimal invasive stone surgeries.

Our Technology

• Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) with highly effective stone-busting machine
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy to remove large kidney stones
• Ureteroscopic stone removal with the latest flexible scopes, laser and other energy devices

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):

Our urologists are trained in all major methods of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Therapy:

• Bipolar TURP (Trans-Urethral Resection of the Prostate)
• Laser Prostatectomy
• Water Vapour Therapy
• Prostate artery embolization (by interventional radiologist)
• Conventional BPH management

We value input from our patients to determine which method of therapy is the best fit for their lifestyle.

The new types of minimally surgical procedures produce excellent results and patients often have shorter hospital stay less discomfort and bleeding and a shorter recovery priod.

We offer the full range of care for urology problems:

• Kidney disease
• Bladder control
• Prostate disorders
• Sexual dysfunction/impotence
• Male infertility
• Testicular
• Adrenal and kidney cancer
• Chronic urinary tract infections and obstructions
• Pediatric urology
• Kidney and pancreas transplantation
• Kidney stones
• Laparoscopic surgery

Different modalities of treatment are available worldwide, such as open surgery, trans-urethral resection (TUR-P), with different indications as related to the size of the prostate. Even when indicated, both procedures are associated complications. Subsequently, several researches have led to the invention of the Green Light high-performance system (HPS) 120-W laser (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA).

It involves vaporizations of the prostate which results in an instantaneous debulking of obstructive prostatic tissue. Such a technology is dressed with several advantages, such as being an outpatient procedure, with a rapid flow rate improvement , a quick return to normal activities, the possibility of being performed in patients on anticoagulation (not feasible for previous treatment modalities) and the extremely low rate of erectile dysfunction (as opposed to the other modalities).
