UROLOGY AND URO-ONCOLOGY IN GERMANY
Effective treatment of diseases of the urogenital system in Germany: organ-sparing and nerve-sparing operations, laparoscopic, endoscopic and robotic surgery, holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), paediatric urology, treatment of urinary incontinence.
The company msp group germany works only with certified centres in the fields of uro-oncology, nephrology, paediatric urology and incontinence; many of these centres are recognised expert centres in their field.
The urology clinics recommended by msp group germany are among the largest urological centres in Germany and are able to offer their patients treatment of the most complex cases on an interdisciplinary level. Patients of these clinics have access to the full spectrum of modern urology — including paediatric urology. They offer diagnostics as well as drug-based and surgical treatment of the entire range of diseases of the kidneys (together with nephrologists), the urinary tract and the male genital organs (functional disorders, mechanical injuries, inflammation, complex malformations, and carcinomas of the urogenital tract).
CORE AREAS OF WORK OF THE UROLOGY CLINICS:
Emergency urology
(renal colic, macroscopic haematuria, injuries to the internal and external organs of the urogenital system, acute urinary retention, urosepsis). Emergency operations of every level of complexity.
Andrology
- erectile dysfunction and erection disorders;
- male infertility;
- infections of the urogenital system,
- congenital anomalies of the urogenital system).
German urology treats sexual disorders as a separate subspecialty.
Paediatric urology
- undescended testicle / cryptorchidism;
- hydrocele;
- hypospadias;
- epispadias;
- acute traumatic injuries of the kidneys and bladder;
- congenital defects of the urogenital system;
- disorders of sexual development;
- hydronephrosis;
- megaureter;
- vesicoureteral reflux;
- bladder exstrophy;
- cystic renal dysplasia (multicystic, polycystic);
- solitary renal cysts;
- inflammatory kidney disease (pyelonephritis);
- cystitis, urethritis;
- voiding dysfunction (enuresis);
- nephroptosis;
- urolithiasis;
- non-functioning kidney;
- adrenal tumours;
- kidney tumours;
- duplex kidney;
- horseshoe kidney;
- overactive bladder;
- renal aplasia, renal agenesis;
- posterior urethral valve.
In cases of congenital defects or injuries, the urology clinics in Munich perform microsurgical operations.
Reconstructive surgery
- implantation of prostheses;
- correction of hypospadias;
- reconstruction of the bladder and ureters;
- urethral repair.
Plastic urology in Germany performs a series of highly complex restorative operations to correct and restore the function of the organs of the urogenital system. This includes both aesthetic operations to restore the external genitalia and reconstructive operations for the partial restoration or replacement of organs of the urogenital system.
Urological oncology
- malignant kidney tumours;
- prostate cancer;
- bladder carcinoma,
- penile carcinoma, testicular cancer.
For the treatment of cancer, German urology clinics use not only conventional methods such as surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but also a number of effective and unique techniques developed by German specialists. The key to success in cancer treatment is accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive approach to fighting the tumour.
More about prostate cancer treatment
The urology clinics constantly perform major operations, for example removal of the prostate gland, kidney surgery, removal of the bladder with urinary diversion, as well as reconstructive procedures such as operations to correct urinary incontinence.
The clinics are equipped with the very latest medical technology, such as the Da Vinci system (a robotic assistant during surgery) and a kidney stone lithotripter (ESWL), a latest, third-generation extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter, and they also offer their patients innovative organ-sparing surgical techniques for the treatment of kidney tumours.
The clinics recommended by msp group germany perform all types of open, laparoscopic and endoscopic video-assisted operations using the DaVinci robot. The surgical repertoire of the urology department includes every type of urinary diversion after radical cystectomy: formation of an ileal conduit, a continent urinary reservoir, an orthotopic neobladder, and a sigmoid colon reservoir with ureterosigmoidostomy. German urology clinics provide inpatient and outpatient treatment for all types of urological conditions. For consultations in complex cases requiring an interdisciplinary approach, dedicated consultation hours are set aside to obtain a second opinion from a uro-oncologist, and special weekly meetings of the expert working group in uro-oncology are held.
