Urology

Our Approach

Franciscan Health's well-trained team of physicians specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary conditions for patients of all ages, including kidney stones, disorders of the bladder and treatments for incontinence. In addition, we specialize in medical and surgical means to treat our patients' urological conditions and improve their overall quality of life.

Franciscan Health also offers specialists in pediatric urology and in conditions of the male reproductive system. Issues that benefit from urology treatments include:

• Kidney stones
• Bladder disorders (cystitis, overactive bladder, incontinence and bladder cancer)
• Prostate problems
• Low testosterone
• Kidney abnormalities
• Prostate cancer
• Pelvic floor prolapse
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Urologic cancers

Minimally invasive urologic surgery

When medication and other non-surgical treatments are unavailable or fail to relieve symptoms, surgery is the accepted treatment for a broad range of conditions that affect the prostate, bladder and kidneys.

Franciscan Health offers less invasive surgical options, including those using the da Vinci® Surgical System. These robotic-guided surgeries offer less pain, less scarring and a shorter recovery period.
