Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

For men living with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), this minimally invasive surgery helps relieve urinary obstruction by removing excess prostate tissue through the urethra. Patients often seek this treatment when experiencing weak urine flow, urinary retention, nighttime frequency, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder. As one of the most effective enlarged prostate treatments available, TURP offers improved bladder function, long-lasting symptom relief, and a shorter, more comfortable recovery.

Penile Implants

Men seeking a dependable solution for erectile dysfunction often benefit from penile implants, especially when medications or conservative therapies haven’t provided results. These surgically placed devices help restore sexual function by enabling a firm, controllable erection suitable for intercourse. Options include inflatable penile implants for a natural feel and appearance, and malleable implants for consistent firmness. Many patients experience not only improved sexual performance but also increased confidence and overall quality of life.

Aquablation® Therapy

This innovative, robot-assisted treatment offers a precise, minimally invasive option for men with BPH. Using a high-velocity waterjet guided by real-time imaging, Aquablation ® removes only the obstructive prostate tissue, helping preserve sexual and urinary function. Patients often choose this therapy to address symptoms such as weak urine flow, urgency, or incomplete bladder emptying. With its accuracy, reduced risk of complications, and efficient recovery time, Aquablation ® is one of today’s most advanced treatments for prostate enlargement.

Prostate Biopsies

When prostate cancer needs to be ruled out or confirmed, biopsies provide essential clarity. Using ultrasound guidance, our urologists collect small tissue samples for detailed evaluation. This procedure is often recommended when prostate-specific antigen levels are elevated or when imaging or exam findings suggest a potential concern. Early, accurate diagnosis empowers patients to understand their options and pursue a personalized plan for prostate cancer treatment with confidence.

Vasectomies & Vasectomy Reversals

Vasectomies and vasectomy reversals offer men reliable options for managing their reproductive goals at different stages of life. A vasectomy provides safe, long-term male birth control with minimal downtime, no effect on sexual performance, and the peace of mind that comes from permanent, hormone-free pregnancy prevention. For men who later decide to expand their families, vasectomy reversal offers a path to natural conception by restoring fertility. Both procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques designed to enhance comfort and support a smooth recovery.

Transvaginal Taping

Many women struggling with stress urinary incontinence find lasting relief through transvaginal taping, also known as a mid-urethral sling procedure. A supportive mesh tape is positioned beneath the urethra to reduce leakage during activities like laughing, exercising, or coughing. This approach is especially beneficial for women with weakened pelvic floor muscles due to childbirth, aging, or prior pelvic surgery, offering a trusted path toward improved bladder control and daily comfort.

Bulkamid ® Injections for Stress Incontinence

Women looking for a non-surgical treatment for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence often appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of Bulkamid ®. This soft, gel-like bulking agent is injected around the urethra to help it close more securely during activity. With no incisions and minimal downtime, Bulkamid ® provides a conservative yet meaningful improvement in bladder control and quality of life.

Botox ® Injections for Overactive Bladder

Botox ® is a well-established option for women with overactive bladder or urge urinary incontinence, particularly when medications have not helped. By relaxing the overactive bladder muscles, Botox ® reduces urgency, frequency, spasms, and leakage episodes. Many patients experience months of symptom relief, making daily routines more comfortable and predictable.

Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Wall Repairs

For women affected by pelvic organ prolapse—such as cystocele (bladder prolapse) or rectocele (rectal prolapse)—reconstructive vaginal wall repairs help restore pelvic support and proper anatomical positioning. Strengthening weakened tissues can significantly reduce symptoms like vaginal pressure, bulging, constipation, urinary leakage, or difficulty emptying the bladder. These procedures provide long-term pelvic stability and meaningful improvement in bladder and bowel function.

Kidney Stone Lithotripsy

Patients dealing with painful or obstructive kidney stones often find relief through lithotripsy, a non-surgical procedure that uses focused sound waves (ESWL) to break stones into smaller fragments. These pieces can then pass naturally, helping patients avoid incisions and extended recovery time. Lithotripsy is widely trusted for its effectiveness, comfort, and ability to quickly return patients to normal activity.
