The 8th Urology Clinic - Advanced Laparoscopic and Robotic Urology Clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services covering the full spectrum of urological diseases. It is staffed by specialized personnel with more than 15 years of experience in laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery. The staff is certified to provide training to new urologists in the use of the Da Vinci robotic system, with primary focus on the management of urological oncological diseases.
Oncological Urology
Worldwide, the surgical management of urological oncological diseases is performed using laparoscopic and robotic surgery. The Clinic applies modern techniques for the treatment of oncological cases. Specifically, the following procedures are performed:
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Radical Nephrectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Partial Nephrectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Nephroureterectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Cystectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Adrenalectomy
- Endoscopic removal of urinary tract tumors
Reconstructive Urology
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Pyeloplasty
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Bladder Diverticulectomy
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Repair of Ureteral Strictures
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Repair of Vesicovaginal Fistulas
Endourology
Minimally invasive endoscopic management of urolithiasis represents the method of choice (Gold Standard). Using modern and advanced laser systems, stones of both the upper and lower urinary tract are treated according to their location.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy (PCNL)
- Flexible Intrarenal Lithotripsy (RIRS)
- Semi-rigid Ureterolithotripsy
- Laser Cystolithotripsy
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common condition affecting men with advancing age. In cases where conservative/pharmacological treatment fails, modern minimally invasive methods can provide excellent outcomes.
- Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURIS)
- Rezum Method
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Transvesical Prostatectomy for prostates with a volume greater than 100 cc
