Urologic Surgery

Urologists diagnose and treat problems of the urinary system – kidneys, bladder, ureter and urethra – and the male genital system. Among the problems treated surgically by urologists are prostate and kidney cancers, prostate enlargement, bladder tumors, kidney and ureteral stones, and stress urinary incontinence. At CMMC, kidney stones may be removed with a non-invasive procedure called lithotripsy, which uses sound waves to break up obstructions.
