Common Urology Procedures

Introduction

At Foley James D MD, we specialize in various urology procedures aimed at addressing a wide range of urological conditions. Our team of highly skilled and experienced urologists is dedicated to providing exceptional care and guidance to our patients.

Prostatectomy

A prostatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the prostate gland. It is commonly used to treat prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our urologists utilize the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures, to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. We prioritize patient comfort and quick recovery, ensuring minimal post-operative pain and faster return to daily activities.

Lithotripsy

Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure used to break down kidney stones into smaller, more easily passable fragments. Our state-of-the-art lithotripsy equipment delivers targeted shock waves to the stones, effectively breaking them down without the need for surgery. This procedure offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical stone removal, allowing patients to avoid the risks associated with invasive procedures.

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception for males. It involves the surgical cutting or sealing of the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. Our urologists perform vasectomies with great expertise, ensuring minimal discomfort and quick recovery. We prioritize patient education and provide detailed information about the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks to help the patient make an informed decision.

Cystoscopy

Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure performed to examine the bladder and urethra. It involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube with a camera (cystoscope) into the urethra. Our urologists use cystoscopy to identify and diagnose various urological conditions, including bladder infections, bladder stones, and tumors. We prioritize patient comfort and take measures to ensure minimal pain and discomfort during the procedure.

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

TURP is a surgical procedure used to treat symptoms associated with BPH. It involves the removal of the excess prostate tissue that is causing urinary obstruction. Our skilled urologists utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to perform TURP, ensuring minimal tissue trauma and faster recovery. This procedure provides long-term relief for patients suffering from BPH symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, and incomplete emptying.

Bladder Suspension Surgery

Bladder suspension surgery, also known as a sling procedure, is performed to treat urinary incontinence in women. It involves the placement of a sling or supportive material to provide additional support to the bladder and urethra. Our urologists specialize in minimally invasive bladder suspension surgeries, offering a high success rate and quick recovery for our patients experiencing stress urinary incontinence.

Nephrectomy

Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a kidney. It may be necessary to treat kidney cancer, severe kidney damage, or in cases of organ donation. Our urologists employ advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes and minimal disruption to the patient's overall health. We provide thorough pre-operative evaluations and comprehensive post-operative care to facilitate a smooth recovery.
