Urology in Guanacaste
Dr. Nathaly Gómez
I am Dr. Nathaly Gómez, a urologist in Guanacaste, and I want you to know that not all urological conditions can be resolved with medication alone. Sometimes, urological surgeries are necessary to improve your health and quality of life.
What are urological surgeries?
Urological surgeries include a variety of procedures to treat problems of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, urethra, and genitals. Depending on the diagnosis, they can be open surgeries or minimally invasive techniques. My goal is always to recommend the most appropriate treatment, choosing the least invasive options with the best recovery.
Main urological surgeries I perform
Some of the most common surgeries I perform are:- Prostate surgery for benign enlargement or cancer (see prostate check-up)
- Surgery to remove urinary stones (see stone treatment)
- Bladder surgery for tumors or lesions
- Urethral surgery for strictures or blockages
- Genital surgeries such as phimosis or hydrocele
- Urological biopsies such as the prostate biopsy

When is urological surgery necessary?
I recommend surgery when:- Medical treatment has not worked
- There is a condition that requires surgical correction
- The goal is to improve symptoms that affect your quality of life

Advantages of minimally invasive surgery
In many cases, I perform minimally invasive urological surgery, which offers the following advantages:- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery
- Lower risk of complications

What is recovery like after urological surgeries?
It depends on the type of surgery, but in general:- Hospital stay can be outpatient or 1–2 days
- Pain relievers and home care are prescribed
- Restrictions vary depending on the procedure but usually include avoiding strenuous activity for a few weeks
