Procedures
Laparoscopic Kidney Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a modern technique where specialized instruments and a tiny camera are used through small incisions (5mm to 10mm) in the abdomen. This minimally invasive method results in less scarring and increased comfort for the patient. The high-definition camera provides a clear view inside the body, allowing for precise operations and access to areas difficult to reach with traditional open surgery.
Holmium Laser Prostate Surgery
Holmium laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive alternative to TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate). It uses laser energy to alleviate symptoms of an enlarged prostate, minimizing traditional TURP complications. Patients experience less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery, often resuming normal activities within a week. This method also has fewer sexual side effects and can be used for patients on anticoagulants like Coumadin® (warfarin sodium).
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer originates in the kidneys, bean-shaped organs situated behind the abdominal organs, one on each side of the spine. In adults, renal cell carcinoma is the most prevalent type, though other rarer forms can also occur. In young children, the most common kidney cancer is Wilms’ tumor. If treated properly it has got excellent results via robotic surgery.
