Minimally invasive surgery, explained clearly
When a procedure is necessary, the goal stays the same: the least invasive technique possible, the shortest recovery, and complete clarity on every step.
Procedures we perform
Each procedure is chosen based on each patient's diagnosis, reviewed in detail during consultation.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
Performed through 0.5 to 1 cm incisions, with a camera that transmits images from inside the abdomen to high-resolution screens. Less pain and faster recovery than open surgery.
Endourology
A minimally invasive technique that in most cases requires no skin incisions. Instruments reach the urinary tract through natural pathways, equipped with high-definition cameras.
Laser ureteroscopy
Fragmentation of kidney and ureteral stones with laser energy, using an instrument that reaches the stone directly.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
A procedure to remove larger kidney stones through a small, image-guided skin access.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
An instrument is passed through the urethra, with no external incisions, to remove prostate tissue that's obstructing urine flow.
Nephrectomy
Surgery to remove an entire kidney (simple nephrectomy) or only part of it (partial nephrectomy).
Reconstructive urologic surgery
Procedures aimed at restoring the anatomy and function of the urinary tract after injury, obstruction, or prior surgery.
Urologic oncologic surgery
Surgical treatment of prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular tumors, focused on preserving function whenever possible.
