About the department
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Department of Urology at the Brothers of Mercy Hospital Munich ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in prostate, testicular, kidney and bladder cancer treatment!
The department offers the broadest range of modern examinations and effective treatment of genitourinary diseases in men. There are many modern therapeutic methods in the arsenal of doctors to deal with diseases of the prostate gland, testicles and external male genitalia, kidney and bladder disorders, and urinary incontinence in men and women. Of particular interest is the treatment of genitourinary cancers in men – the department has been certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG) in this field. The key to the department's successful clinical practice is the combination of high professionalism of doctors and the availability of innovative equipment, particularly a system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy, devices for focal therapy for prostate tumors using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), etc. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Alexander Karl.
Prostate cancer is quite common in the department's clinical practice, so doctors have gained rich experience in treating this pathology. The disease most often affects men over the age of 50. As in other cancers, early detection of the condition gives the best chances of recovery. At the diagnostic stage, a patient needs to have a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test, a digital rectal exam of the prostate gland and transrectal ultrasound. If diagnostic results suggest the presence of a malignant tumor, the next step is a fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate gland. With the diagnosis confirmed, CT, MRI, skeletal scintigraphy and other tests may be required. Depending on the cancer stage, an optimal treatment regimen is developed, which may include surgical removal of the tumor or prostate (radical prostatectomy), brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy), external beam radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. In some cases, doctors choose watchful waiting, which involves regular check-ups to monitor tumor growth and spread. This method can be used only in low-risk patients. The department also offers focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound, which only affects the pathological areas of the organ while not damaging healthy tissues. In addition, such treatment significantly reduces the risk of side effects, such as impotence and urinary incontinence. HIFU therapy has been practiced in the medical facility since 1993, so doctors have excellent competencies in this area.
The department's specialists also treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. The pathology is a benign proliferation of gland tissues that provokes urinary system disorders. Prostate adenoma usually occurs in adulthood and the elderly. The treatment options for the pathology include minimally invasive laser techniques (HoLEP and BipolEP), robot-assisted surgery (Aquablation technique), minimally invasive interventions (transurethral incision of the prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate), and open surgical interventions (open adenomectomy).
The department's therapeutic options are complemented by treating benign and malignant tumors of the kidneys and bladder, urinary incontinence, and kidney stone disease in men and women. The department's doctors have modern diagnostic equipment for making an accurate diagnosis and developing an individual treatment regimen. During the therapeutic process, both conservative and surgical treatment options are used. If the patient needs surgery, then, first of all, minimally traumatic surgical techniques are considered.
The department's team of urologists also admits men with benign, malignant and inflammatory pathologies of the testicles and external genitalia. The specialists treat testicular tumors, penile cancer, testicular torsion, penile curvature, epididymitis, hydrocele, varicocele, spermatocele, and phimosis. Standard cancer treatments include surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Inflammatory processes (epididymitis) are treated with antibiotic therapy. Hydrocele, varicocele, spermatocele and phimosis are treated with surgical techniques. Patients with penile curvature are prescribed drug therapy, local shock wave therapy, and Nesbit's procedure. The department's specialists make every effort to provide each patient with the most effective but, at the same time, sparing treatment.
