Urologic Cancer Treatment

UofL Physicians – Urology offers surgery and medical management of cancer of the bladder, kidney, urethra, prostate and testicles by a fellowship-trained urologic oncologist who provides treatment at UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center in a multidisciplinary setting.

Urologic Trauma and Reconstruction

Our practice offers the only fellowship-trained trauma and reconstruction specialist in the multistate region. A highly specialized field of urology, reconstructive urology restores functionality to various structures of the genitourinary tract. Prostate procedures, trauma (auto accidents, gunshot wounds, industrial accidents, straddle injuries, etc.), disease, obstructions, blockages (e.g., urethral strictures), and occasionally, childbirth, can require reconstructive surgery.

Robotic-assisted Surgery

UofL Physicians – Urology offers minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery options for a variety of male and female urologic conditions. Revolutionary surgeries performed with the da Vinci® robot surgery system include radical cystectomy, prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation. Robotic-assisted surgery options are available for both adults and pediatric patients.

Single-port Laparoscopic Surgery

Single-port laparoscopic surgery is literally performed through a single port or incision in a patient’s umbilicus (belly button). Our surgeons are among only a handful across the nation now performing these procedures. In fact, we were the first in Louisville to remove a kidney using a keyhole incision in the belly button.

Urodynamics

Urodynamic studies are among the most definitive test for diagnosing the source of symptoms involving the lower urinary tract, including the bladder and urethra. These tests help determine the anatomic or neurologic source of symptoms such as leakage, frequent urination, problems starting a stream, dribbling, painful urination, problems completely emptying the bladder and recurrent urinary tract infections. This testing can be performed in our office by our urodynamicist.

Biofeedback for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a number of conditions that impact muscles associated with bowel and bladder control, pelvic and spinal support and sexual functioning. These conditions include overactive bladder syndrome (urinary urgency), bowel and bladder incontinence (leakage), chronic constipation, management of prostatectomy before and after surgery, detrusor instability (bladder spasms) and pelvic pain.

Biofeedback is a painless process that uses special sensors and a computer monitor to display information about the patient’s muscle activity. This helps the patient gain sensitivity and, with practice, control over pelvic floor muscle function.
