Urology

Urological surgery and diagnosis, coordinated with complete discretion.

What is urology?

Urology is the medical specialty that treats the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. It covers procedures from diagnostic studies to surgery, some of them in a hospital setting. We coordinate every step confidentially: your information is shared only with the urologist reviewing your case.

Urology procedures

• Circumcision: Outpatient removal of the foreskin for medical or personal reasons.
• Varicocele repair: Treats enlarged veins in the scrotum, a common cause of discomfort and reduced fertility.
• Hydrocelectomy: Surgical treatment of fluid build-up around the testicle.
• Penile prosthesis: A definitive solution for erectile dysfunction when other treatments have not worked.
• Artificial urinary sphincter: An implanted device to treat significant urinary incontinence.
• Laser prostate surgery: Minimally invasive laser treatment for an enlarged prostate.
• Cystoscopy: A camera examination of the bladder and urethra to diagnose urinary symptoms.
