Urology Care

Urological issues affect men and women alike and can start in any part of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra and reproductive organs.

You actively participate in every treatment decision, and our urologists want to educate you about your diagnosis and all possible treatment options, allowing you to feel confident in your care decisions.

Our urologists work closely with other specialist teams, including urogynecologists and cancer care specialists, to ensure you receive seamless, coordinated care.

Treatment for Common and Complex Bladder Conditions

Many of us experience issues with our bladder, kidneys and urinary tract, which can significantly impact daily life. Our expert urology specialists can diagnose and treat many bladder conditions, including:

• Kidney stones
• Bladder prolapse
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Urinary incontinence
   

Advanced bladder and urinary tract procedures we offer include:

• Partial nephrectomies and radical nephrectomies — Robotic surgeries to either remove part of a kidney or the whole kidney
• Robotic radical cystectomy with ileal conduit or neobladder — A fully robotic surgery used to remove the bladder and create a new way for the body to store urine by using a piece of the intestine
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and supine mini-PCNL — Surgeries to remove kidney stones using small tools
• Urethral reconstructions — Procedures to repair the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body

Symptoms such as pain during urination, blood in your urine or leakage should not be ignored. Your specialist can offer many minimally invasive and nonsurgical treatments that allow you to manage symptoms, treat pain and prevent recurrence.

Care and Treatment for Benign Prostate Conditions

Your prostate gland tends to grow as you get older, but this can lead to issues such as pressure on your bladder and difficulty urinating.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common prostate condition men over age 50 experience. The condition causes urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and many other symptoms, and a urology specialist can help you find the right treatment for your health and lifestyle. Our clinics offer many nonsurgical and minimally invasive BPH treatments, ranging from medications to the latest procedures, including UroLiftTM and laser therapy.

Male Infertility and Reproductive Health Issues

Many men experience issues with their sexual and reproductive health, including infertility and erectile dysfunction, and no one should be embarrassed to seek medical help. Our compassionate team specializes in andrology, a branch of medicine focused on male reproductive health.

We provide a comprehensive evaluation, looking at your symptoms, overall health and medical history to determine the cause. They will advise you on the best options, from simple lifestyle changes or medication to advanced surgical procedures and fertility treatments.

For men looking for a permanent form of birth control, our team is skilled at performing minimally invasive vasectomies. They can also provide counseling and emotional support as you navigate family planning decisions.

Female Urology and Urogynecology

Our urology team works closely with the Beaufort Memorial women’s health team to treat issues such as stress incontinence, bladder pain and pelvic organ prolapse. We are well-versed in flexible ureteroscopies, which are procedures to examine and treat issues in the urinary tract.

Women often accept these common but frustrating conditions as an inevitable part of life. Our skilled specialists can provide the compassionate care necessary to relieve your symptoms and help you return to enjoying an active life.
