Prostate and Urology Surgery

Some of the most common diseases and health conditions people deal with involve bowel, bladder or sexual dysfunction. Oftentimes, these conditions can be difficult to talk about. At Banner Health, we understand and provide a safe, private and respectful environment so you can get the care you need.

What is Prostate and Urology Surgery?

Banner Health surgeons treat a wide range of urological and prostate conditions, such as incontinence issues and urethral stricture disease, which is a narrowing in the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. 

Other urological and prostate conditions we treat include:

  • Cancers, including bladder, kidney, testicular and prostate
  • Enlarged prostate
  • Interstitial cystitis
  • Kidney stones
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Vaginal and uterine prolapse

Common Procedures

The specialists at Banner Health are here to help you through your urology and prostate surgery. Common urology and prostate procedures can include:

  • Removal of a kidney
  • Reconstruction of a kidney
  • Circumcision
  • Vasectomy
  • Reconstructive urology

Surgical Treatment Options

We use minimally invasive procedures whenever possible, such as laser surgery and robotic prostatectomy, a type of robot-assisted prostate surgery. As with most minimally invasive approaches, this type of surgery requires smaller incisions and can result in less pain, faster healing and a shorter hospital stay. It can also lessen your chance of impotence or incontinence.

As you prepare for prostate or urological surgery, your surgeon will be a resource for any questions or concerns you may have. We take a collaborative approach to all of our procedures and make sure you are informed and empowered to make the best decisions for you. Talk to your doctor today to learn more.
