Urology

BPH Urology surgery

• Types of urology surgery

  At Buderim Private Hospital, our comprehensive medical and surgical support means we can undertake a huge range of urology surgeries, including: 

  • Bladder cancer surgery: This includes diagnosis (cystoscopy), resection, treatment and robotic cystectomy (bladder removal).
  • Kidney stone management: This includes laser removal, lithotripsy (ESWL).
  • Robotic, laparoscopic and open kidney surgery: This includes nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy and pyeloplasty.
  • Robotically assisted prostate cancer surgery: A form of laparoscopic surgery performed through small cuts in the abdomen. This procedure uses a camera and instruments that are robotically manipulated by the surgeon at a workstation in the theatre.
  • Treatment for benign prostatic enlargement or hypertrophy (BPH): This includes transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), laser prostatectomy, Millin’s enucleation (simple prostatectomy), and urolift.

  
  

• Our facilities

  Our facilities are equipped with the latest medical technology, including robotic surgical systems, to ensure the best possible treatment with minimal recovery times. This includes: 

  • Da Vinci Surgical System: Our da Vinci robot allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic surgery through small abdominal incisions using a camera and other instruments, rather than making larger incisions as in open procedures.
  • iSR’obot Mona Lisa: This technology complements the da Vinci robot, setting a new standard in prostate biopsy. It is designed to provide surgeons with complete prostate coverage, while accurately guiding the biopsy needle through only two skin punctures in the perineal region. This reduces infection rates.
