Extra corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL)

Kidney & urethral stone removal-Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is the most common treatment for kidney stones in the U.S. Shock waves from outside the body are targeted at a kidney stone causing the stone to fragment. The stones are broken into tiny pieces. lt is sometimes called ESWL: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy®.

Orchiectomy

Surgical removal of one or both testicles.

Pelvic Neurostimulators

Neurostimulation is a high-tech intervention that is increasingly being used to treat refractory pelvic pain and bladder dysfunction syndromes, such as interstitial cystitis.

Uronav – MRI/Ultrasound fusion guided prostate biopsy

biopsyUroNav brings the power of MRI to the Urology suite as prostate and lesion segmentation data from Radiology are quickly and easily transferred to UroNav for review and target identification. This critical exchange of diagnostic information fosters enhanced collaboration between Radiology and Urology in the assessment and biopsy of suspicious prostate lesions. Futher, biopsy core location data can be sent back to Radiology and viewed on DynaCAD as a “reverse fusion” with a pre- or post-biopsy MRI.

Tissue Sparing Prostate Ablation for Prostate Cancer (TSPA )

This procedure is an outpatient surgery with no incisions, without an overnight hospital stay, often without requiring the patient to go home with a catheter. Ablation is a less aggressive treatment option, where only areas within the Prostate having cancer cells are treated. The main goal of TSPA is eradicating tumors within the Prostate and avoiding damage to sensitive surrounding tissues, thus preserving patients quality of life.

The device for the TSPA is the Encage RF bipolar device. It has an inner electrode and an external coiled electrode. The heat effect starts in the inner electrode and propagates towards the external coil, until the tissue within the limits of the cage is totally destroyed. The outer coil generates a Faraday Cage effect preventing destruction to spread beyond the limits of the cage.

TSPA can be a good option to younger patients, patients with less aggressive types of Prostate Cancer and to those unable or unwilling to undergo more invasive prostate surgery.

Clinical studies demonstrated excellent cancer control and virtually no adverse side-effects. TSPA is available in the US on a Concierge basis in a limited number of centers.
