Prostate Procedures

Robotic radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat prostate cancer by removing the prostate gland with the assistance of a robotic surgical system. This advanced technique allows for greater precision, smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The robotic system enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform delicate movements with improved visualization, leading to better outcomes for patients, including a lower risk of complications and improved preservation of urinary and sexual function.

NanoKnife® is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer that uses irreversible electroporation (IRE) to target and destroy cancerous cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, nerves, and structures. This technique involves delivering precise electrical pulses to disrupt cancer cell membranes, leading to their natural elimination by the body.Unlike traditional treatments such as surgery or radiation, NanoKnife® offers the potential for fewer side effects, including a reduced risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction. It is particularly beneficial for patients seeking a focal therapy option with quicker recovery and minimal impact on quality of life.

A transperineal prostate biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to detect prostate cancer by obtaining tissue samples from the prostate gland. Unlike the traditional transrectal approach, this method involves inserting a needle through the perineum (the skin between the scrotum and anus) under ultrasound guidance.The transperineal technique offers several advantages, including a significantly lower risk of infection, improved accuracy in sampling all areas of the prostate, and reduced complications. It is particularly beneficial for patients with prior negative biopsies, those at higher risk of infection, or when targeted biopsies are needed for precise diagnosis.

Rezum is an innovative, non-surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. It uses the natural energy of water vapor (steam) to shrink excess prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow. The procedure is quick, typically completed in a doctor’s office, and requires minimal downtime. Rezum offers long-term relief from BPH symptoms while preserving sexual function and reducing the need for medications or major surgery. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within weeks, making it an effective and well-tolerated option for men seeking a minimally invasive solution to urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate.

TURP is a well-established surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. During the procedure, a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue, relieving urinary obstruction and improving flow. Often considered the gold standard for BPH treatment, TURP provides long-term symptom relief with a high success rate. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, typically requiring a short hospital stay. While effective, TURP may have some side effects, including temporary urinary symptoms or, in some cases, changes in sexual function. It remains a trusted option for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms.

GreenLight™ Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. Using high-powered laser energy, it vaporizes excess prostate tissue, relieving urinary obstruction and improving urine flow. The procedure is typically performed as a day surgery with rapid recovery and minimal bleeding. GreenLight™ offers an effective alternative to traditional surgery, with fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and a lower risk of side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Most patients experience significant symptom relief within days, making it a popular choice for those seeking a quick and effective BPH treatment.
