Urology, also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the urinary system and the reproductive organs. Organs under the domain of urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs.
Cystoscopy
A cystoscopy is a urology procedure that allows a urologist to examine the lining of the bladder and the urethra. An instrument called a cystoscope is inserted into the urethra and guided to the bladder. The cystoscope is made up of a long, thin tube with a light and a camera at the end. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat bladder conditions. It can also be used to diagnose an enlarged prostate.
Prostate
Procedures
Urologists may perform a number of procedures to diagnose and treat prostate conditions. These include:
- Prostate biopsy:
A procedure to remove samples of tissue from the prostate for examination in a lab.
- UroLift:
A minimally invasive procedure done in-office to treat mild to moderate prostate enlargement.
- Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA):
A procedure that uses radiofrequency ablation to shrink prostate tissue that is pressing into the urethra and causing urinary symptoms.
- Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP):
A minimally invasive procedure that uses a special instrument called a resectoscope to trim and seal prostate tissue when the prostate is enlarged and causing difficulty in urination.
- Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP):
A procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). A small endoscope is inserted through the urethra and special instruments create small openings in the bladder neck where it connects to the prostate. This opens the urinary channel so urine can pass.
Penile
Procedures
- Penile Plication:
Penile plication is a surgical urology procedure that is used to treat curvature of the penis caused by Peyronie’s disease. It is an outpatient procedure in which permanent sutures are placed on the opposite side of the scarring that causes the curvature.
- Penile Implants & Prosthesis:
Penile implants or prostheses are devices placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED)to get an erection. These devices are usually only recommended after other ED treatments fail. For instance, a penile prosthesis may be recommended for men with severe Peyronie’s disease who cannot get an erection due to the curvature of the penis.
