Urology

Our urologists treat a full range of conditions, from routine complaints to prostate cancer. If surgery is necessary, our surgeons offer progressive surgical techniques, including robotic surgery for prostate cancer.

We diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Infertility
• Prostate and urinary tract cancers
• Urinary incontinence
• Urinary stones

Prostate Health
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, behind only lung cancer, with one in six men developing the disease within their lifetime. Early detection offers the best opportunity for successful treatment. Our cancer care team utilizes diagnostic technology to detect cancer at its earliest stages, often combining more than one therapy to treat, such as:

• Active surveillance: Monitoring through more frequent prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, digital rectal exams, and biopsies
• Chemotherapy: Anti-cancer medications can be used when the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland
• Cryosurgery: Also called cryotherapy or cryoablation, this technique is sometimes used to treat localized prostate cancer by freezing diseased tissue
• Hormone therapy: Lowering the levels of male hormones, mainly testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can make prostate cancers shrink or grow more slowly
• Radiation therapy: Utilize external-beam or internal methods, including brachytherapy
• Robotic surgery: Surgeons can remove the prostate using minimally invasive surgery, which may offer less pain and scarring, and a quicker recovery than open surgery or laparoscopic techniques—many men return to their normal activities within a few days
