We treat cancers of the prostate, bladder and kidneys and other urologic cancers; incontinence and other bladder-control problems; kidney stones; and sexual health problems, including erectile dysfunction (impotence). Prostate, bladder and kidney cancer Our team of urology specialists includes some of the best cancer doctors in the world, including three fellowship-trained urologic surgeons. We treat more prostate cancer patients than anyone else in the Southeast. The specialists are all in one location so patients can often see them all on the same day. Incontinence and other bladder control problems EXPERIENCE Our specialists are among the most experienced in the nation in a wide range of advanced techniques including robotic surgery, image-guided surgery and minimally invasive (laparascopic) surgery. We offer the latest tools to target urologic problems more accurately. CONSTANT INNOVATION 3-D MRI We regularly lead other health care institutions across the nation in finding new ways to fight disease. One of the most recent innovations we’re bringing to men with prostate cancer is 3-D MRI fusion targeted biopsies. Vanderbilt is the first hospital in Tennessee to offer this new diagnostic tool to locate tumors more accurately. It allows more precise biopsies and safer surveillance of prostate cancers. Now doctors can treat the condition less invasively reducing some patients’ need for surgery. Urodynamics laboratory More than 10 million men and women suffer from incontinence (the inability to control urination), a complicated problem to diagnose. Our advanced computerized urodynamics laboratory allows doctors to conduct tests that help find the sources of this problem, leading to the proper treatment. We offer many ways to identify and treat voiding disorders (problems with emptying the bladder or urethra), including incontinence. Diagnostics include urodynamics, biofeedback, injection therapy, nerve stimulator implants and innovative drug combinations. We also specialize in the surgical reconstruction of lower urinary tract abnormalities, including sling procedures and laparoscopic surgeries for men and women. Kidney stones Kidney stones are a common and painful condition that affects both men and women. Patients with one kidney stone have a 60 percent chance of having another one in the future. We give kidney stone patients a medical evaluation and offer a variety of treatments to help prevent more stones, including changes to diet and medications, which may also lower the risk of new stones. Men’s sexual functioning Erectile dysfunction (ED), also called impotence, is a common problem. Treatment options for patients with normal testerone levels include medication by pill or injection, intraurethral medication, vacuum device and penile implants. We also treat other sexual health problems including penile curvature and premature ejaculation.
