我们治疗泌尿系统疾病

Our urologists treat a broad range of urologic conditions, including:

前列腺增生(BPH): An enlarged prostate gland, typically occurring as men age

肾结石: Small, hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and are often painful to pass

输尿管狭窄: Narrowing in the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters)

我们提供的治疗

We offer a full range of advanced therapies for kidney stones and 尿路梗阻s. 肾结石的治疗包括:

冲击波碎石术: This treatment uses ultrasonic waves to break up kidney stones, making them easier to pass.

输尿管镜: The doctor places a small scope through the urethra (tube that empties urine from the body) to reach the bladder and ureters. They may use this method may be used to remove a kidney stone by breaking it up with a laser or removing it with a basket device.

Cystolitholapaxy: The doctor places a scope through the urethra into the bladder. Ultrasound waves or laser energy are used to break up a kidney stone that has moved into the bladder and to remove the fragments.

经皮肾镜取石术: The surgeon makes a small incision in the back to access the kidney. A scope and special instrument are then inserted to locate, break up and remove kidney stones.

治疗 for UPJ obstructions or ureteral strictures may include:

内镜下球囊扩张术: Surgeons may treat ureteral strictures by placing a small device that looks like a deflated balloon in the ureter. When the balloon expands, it helps open the ureter to restore proper urine flow.

激光endopyelotomy: Surgeons insert small instruments into the urinary tract or kidney. They use laser energy to remove the tissue that’s causing a UPJ obstruction.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty: Surgeons perform this operation to remove a UPJ obstruction. They place a small tube called a stent in the ureter to help the kidney drain properly.

We also offer multiple options to treat BPH, including:

资源文件格式ūm: This short, outpatient procedure uses water vapor therapy to shrink the prostate. Your urologist sends sterile water vapor to the prostate tissue in nine-second intervals. Over time, your body absorbs the tissue and the prostate shrinks.

UroLift: Surgeons place small implants that lift extra prostate tissue away from the urethra. This procedure doesn’t involve any surgical incisions or removal of prostate tissue. Instead, it compresses and moves excess prostate tissue out of the way to restore urine flow.

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP): Surgeons use a holmium laser to remove excess tissue around the prostate.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic simple prostatectomy: Surgeons remove the inside portion of the enlarged prostate. This helps restore urine flow without removing the entire prostate.
