Uro-Oncology
Uro-oncology t deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the urinary system and male reproductive system. This includes cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testicles, and penis.
Treatment options for urological cancers vary depending on the type and stage of the cancer, but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Uro-oncologists use advanced imaging techniques and biomarker testing to help determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient. Regular screening and early detection of urological cancers are important for improving outcomes and increasing the chances of a successful treatment. It is recommended that men over the age of 50 undergo regular prostate cancer screening, and that individuals with a family history of urological cancers or other risk factors undergo regular screening as well

Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the kidneys. There are several types of kidney cancer, but the most common type is renal cell carcinoma, which accounts for about 90% of cases.
The exact cause of kidney cancer is not known, but certain factors may increase a person’s risk of developing the disease, including smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and a family history of kidney cancer.
Symptoms of kidney cancer may include blood in the urine, a lump or mass in the abdomen, pain in the side or back, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and fever.
Diagnosis of kidney cancer typically involves a combination of imaging tests, such as CT scans and MRI, as well as a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Treatment options for kidney cancer depend on the stage and location of the cancer, as well as the overall health of the patient. Surgery to remove the affected kidney, known as a nephrectomy, is the most common treatment for kidney cancer. Other treatments may include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, a small gland that produces seminal fluid in men. It is one of the most common types of cancer in men, and typically develops in older men.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not known, but certain risk factors may increase a man’s chances of developing the disease, including age, family history of prostate cancer, obesity, and a diet high in red meat and animal fat.
Symptoms of prostate cancer in its early stages may not be noticeable, but as the cancer grows, symptoms may include difficulty urinating, decreased urine flow, blood in the urine or semen, pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, and bone pain.
Diagnosis of prostate cancer typically involves a combination of a physical exam, blood tests to measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the bladder, which is a hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and it typically affects older adults.
The exact cause of bladder cancer is not known, but certain risk factors may increase a person’s chances of developing the disease, including smoking, exposure to certain chemicals and carcinogens, chronic bladder infections or irritations, and a family history of bladder cancer.
Symptoms of bladder cancer may include blood in the urine, pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, and an urgent need to urinate.
Diagnosis of bladder cancer typically involves a combination of imaging tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, as well as a cystoscopy, which involves inserting a thin tube with a camera into the bladder to visualize any abnormal growths. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized surgical tools to access and operate on internal organs. Instead of making a large incision, several small incisions are made in the abdomen or pelvis, and a laparoscope, which is a thin, lighted tube with a camera, is inserted through one of the incisions to guide the surgical instruments.
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery over traditional open surgery include reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, and smaller scars. Laparoscopic surgery can be used for a variety of procedures, including gallbladder removal, appendectomy, hernia repair, and hysterectomy.
Nephrectomy
Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney. It is usually recommended when a kidney is damaged or diseased, such as in the case of kidney cancer, severe infection, or significant injury. A nephrectomy may be performed using open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or robotic surgery.
Appendectomy
An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix. The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch that is attached to the large intestine. Appendectomy is usually performed when the appendix becomes inflamed and infected, a condition known as appendicitis.
Appendectomy can be performed using open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a single incision in the lower right side of the abdomen to remove the appendix. In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope and surgical instruments to remove the appendix.
Fundoplication
Fundoplication is a surgical procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, chest pain, and other symptoms. Fundoplication surgery aims to prevent the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus by strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which is the muscle that separates the esophagus from the stomach.
Cholecystectomy
Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located under the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats in the small intestine. Cholecystectomy is typically performed when gallstones or other problems with the gallbladder cause pain, inflammation, or infection.
Hernia Surgery
Hernia surgery is a surgical procedure to repair a hernia, which is a bulging of an organ or tissue through a weakened area of muscle or connective tissue. Hernias can occur in different parts of the body, but most commonly occur in the abdominal area, groin, or upper thigh.
There are two main types of hernia surgery: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision near the hernia and pushes the bulging tissue back into place. The weakened area of muscle or connective tissue is then reinforced with a mesh patch.
