About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the HELIOS Clinic Krefeld offers the full range in these medical focuses. The department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases of the urogenital tract in adults and children. Of particular interest is the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, bladder stones and urinary incontinence. Only safe innovative methods of therapy are used here. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Martin Friedrich.
One of the most common diseases in men is benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the early stages of pathology, drug treatment is mostly used, while advanced stages require surgical treatment.
Prostate cancer treatment is a complex process. The main and most accurate diagnostic method for this pathology is MRI and MRI-guided biopsy. The purpose of surgical treatment is not only to remove the neoplasm, but also to preserve the nerves of the penis. Consequently, surgeons plan each operation with special care, calculating the smallest nuances. To do it, they use advanced, high-precision imaging equipment. The surgical intervention is quite often supplemented with conservative treatments, for example, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy. Any therapeutic intervention is prescribed to each patient individually, with due consideration of a specific clinical situation. It should be noted that the department is actively involved in research activities, so another alternative is to participate in clinical trials on prostate cancer treatment.
In the field of pediatric urology, there are provided both diagnosis and treatment of all congenital and acquired diseases of the kidneys, bladder and external genitalia in children and adolescents. Most often, the specialists of the department have to deal with such pediatric diseases as expansion of the renal pelvis, urinary incontinence in children, including bedwetting, periodic urinary tract infections, congenital malformations, for example, hypospadias, phimosis, undescended testes, etc.
