Prostatis
Prostatitis is a general term for inflammation of the prostate gland - an organ about the size and shape of a walnut, located just below the bladder in males. The prostate gland's main function is to produce semen, the fluid that helps nourish and transport sperm. An inflamed prostate can cause a variety of symptoms, including a frequent and urgent need to urinate and pain or burning when urinating often accompanied by pelvic, groin or low back pain.

Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men and their partners to one degree or another. The term erectile dysfunction covers a range of disorders, but usually refers to the inability to obtain an adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.

Urinary Incontinence
Do you have trouble controlling when you urinate? Do you leak urine when you cough or sneeze? Do you suddenly need to go to the toilet so badly that you're not sure you're going to make it in time - and sometimes you don't? Does a fear of wetting yourself and smelling of urine keep you from activities?

The loss of bladder control - known as urinary incontinence - is an all too common, often embarrassing and frustrating problem for millions of people. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may count yourself among them.

BPH - Enlarged Prostate
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not simply a case of too many prostate cells. Prostate growth involves hormones, occurs in different types of tissue (e.g., muscular, glandular), and affects men differently. As a result of these differences, treatment varies in each case. There is no cure for BPH and once prostate growth starts, it often continues, unless medical therapy is started.

Kidney Stones
If you've ever passed a kidney stone, you're not likely to forget the experience - it can be excruciatingly painful. Kidney stones (renal lithiasis) are an ancient affliction dating back to the age of the Egyptian pyramids, yet they are still a common disorder today. The incidence of kidney stones has been increasing in recent decades. Although the reasons for this are still unclear, many experts believe that diet choices and lack of fluids are important factors that have contributed to this increase.

Urinary Tract Infections
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that begins in your urinary system. UTIs limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. But serious consequences can occur if the infection spreads to your kidneys.

Renal Cancer
Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They're located behind your abdomen, one on each side of your spine. Like other major organs in the body, the kidneys can sometimes develop cancer. In adults, the most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma (renal adenocarcinoma), which begins in the cells that line the small tubes within your kidneys. Children are more likely to develop a kind of kidney cancer called Wilms' tumor.

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is cancer of the small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid, the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.

Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer typically begins in the lining of your bladder, the balloon-shaped organ in your pelvic area that stores urine. Some bladder cancer remains confined to the lining, while other cases may invade other areas.

Benign Prostate Hypertrophy - TUNA
Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) — This procedure uses a heated needle to burn away small amounts of prostate tissue. Like TUMT, this procedure costs less than TURP and has fewer complications. Also, no overnight hospital stay is needed.

Benign Prostate Hypertrophy - TUMT
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) — A microwave antenna is inserted into the urethra to heat the prostate and destroy overgrown tissue. This procedure costs less than TURP and has fewer complications. No overnight hospital stay is needed. However, approximately half of all men need additional treatment within four years.

Urinary Incontinence - Interism Therapy
InterStim Therapy for Urinary Control offers a revolutionary approach to managing urinary retention and the symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urge incontinence and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency alone or in combination.

Urinary Incontinence - Male Sling
Over the last two years, the male sling procedure has become a viable treatment alternative for men with ppi due to sphincter damage causing stress incontinence. The surgical procedure to implant the sling takes about one hour and can be done either on an outpatient basis or with an overnight hospital stay. The purpose of the “sling” is to compress the urethra and help eliminate loss of urine with coughing, sneezing, or vigorous activity.

Urinary Incontinence - Artificial Sphincter
Perfected over the last 20 years, the artificial urinary sphincter is a device implanted into the body to correct stress incontinence in men with significant sphincter damage. The AUS has three components: a cuff that helps close the urethra, a pump placed inside the scrotum, and a pressure regulating balloon which is placed in the lower abdomen.

Prostate Cancer - Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a relatively new prostate cancer treatment. Also referred to as cryosurgery and cryoablation, prostate cryotherapy is a minimally invasive surgery capable of using controlled freeze and thaw cycles to destroy the disease.

Kidney Stones - Lithotripsy
Lithotripsy is the technology that allows us to break up stones inside the body (such as kidney, Ureter and Urinary Bladder stones) using shockwaves. The machine is called a Lithotripter.

Unwanted Fertility - Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is done to make a man sterile (unable to father children). A vasectomy cuts or blocks the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm away from the testicle to be added to semen. There are two vas deferens, one for each testicle on each side. Once the vas deferens are cut or blocked, sperm cannot pass out of the body. After a vasectomy, a man can continue to have normal sexual intercourse with ejaculation of semen, but this sperm-free semen cannot make his sexual partner pregnant.

Bladder Cancer - BCG
Bladder cancer begins in the lining of the bladder. In 70 percent to 80 percent of people with bladder cancer, the cancer is discovered when it is still a limited, superficial problem. These superficial bladder cancers usually appear as an isolated patch of abnormal cells on the bladder lining or as an odd, fingerlike projection along the bladder's inner wall. Less often, the tumor is diagnosed when it already has become invasive, which means the tumor has invaded deeply into the muscle of the bladder wall, spread (metastasized) to nearby lymph nodes or spread to distant organs.

Erectile Dysfunction - Penile Implant
A penile prosthesis is another treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction. The simplest type of prosthesis consists of a pair of malleable rods surgically implanted within the erection chambers of the penis. Today, many men choose a hydraulic, inflatable prosthesis, which allows a man to have an erection whenever he chooses.

Renal Cancer - Nephrectomy
Surgery to remove the kidney is called a nephrectomy and it is the most common treatment for kidney cancer.
