Urology
About the Urology Department
Our mission is to innovate, cultivate and heal as we strive to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic options across the entire spectrum of urologic diseases.
Our faculty are fellowship-trained urologic surgeons, experts in using technology to treat a wide range of urologic diseases including kidney, bladder and prostate conditions. They specialize in treating urologic cancers, kidney stones and bladder stones, pelvic prolapse, incontinence procedures for both women and men, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer and reconstructive urology.
Innovative Technology
Research in precision medicine aims to enhance the diagnosis, prediction and treatment of cancer, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Our faculty leverages advances in nanotechnology, fusion MRI, robotic surgery, bipolar TUR and laser treatments to effectively combat urologic cancers and benign obstructive diseases.
