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
If you would like more information about specific procedures, you can ask me directly during your appointment.

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
For example, if you have recurrent urinary tract infections due to structural problems, large stones that cannot be passed with medication, or early-detected cancers that need to be removed. You can read more about infections in urinary tract infection treatment.

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
During your consultation, I will explain the best option for your case and the necessary care after surgery.

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
At each follow-up visit, we will check your recovery and adjust the recommendations based on your progress.
