About the department
The Department of Urology at the Nuremberg Hospital offers the full range of modern diagnostics and treatment for diseases of the kidneys, bladder, and urethra in men and women and also specializes in the treatment of pathologies and malformations of the male reproductive system. One of the key areas of the department's clinical practice is prostate cancer treatment. This oncological disease is treated at a specialized center that is certified in accordance with the standards of the German Cancer Society (DKG). The department's urologists demonstrate exceptional professional skills in robot-assisted surgery using the state-of-the-art da Vinci Xi surgical system. The department also has advanced laser equipment for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, including a thulium laser, a holmium laser, and a Greenlight laser. The medical facility provides effective treatment for patients with urinary incontinence and kidney stone disease. More than 3,950 inpatients and about 4,000 outpatients are treated in the department every year. The health of patients is in the safe hands of a team of highly qualified experts, including 26 highly specialized physicians and 35 nursing staff members. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Sascha Pahernik.
The department regularly admits patients with prostate cancer, which is the most common type of oncological disease among men. If cancer is suspected, patients undergo laboratory and imaging tests, including an MRI scan and a fusion biopsy. Should prostate cancer be confirmed, the department's urologists, together with specialists from related disciplines, will start elaborating a treatment regimen. The department's special offer in this field is the resection of malignant prostate tumors using the modern da Vinci Xi surgical system. Robot-assisted surgery is highly effective and is also minimally traumatic. It is extremely important that the department's urologists manage to preserve potency and prevent urinary incontinence after such interventions so that the patient will have a full life following the operation. The department also successfully performs HIFU ablation for prostate cancer. This treatment method is indicated in cases where it is impossible to perform a radical prostatectomy. A treatment regimen is completed by conservative treatment methods such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, etc.
The department's urologists are deservedly proud of their rich experience in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women and men. This pathology is characterized by an uncontrollable urine discharge from the urethra, which causes discomfort and affects the quality of life. Urinary incontinence is more common in women. The main diagnostic methods for suspected urinary incontinence include ultrasound scans, urodynamic tests, microbiological urine testing, and cystoscopy. In the early stages of the disease, the department's doctors use only conservative therapies, but in complex cases, they are ineffective, so patients are recommended for surgical intervention. In cases of urge incontinence, the department's specialists inject Botox into the bladder muscle or perform innovative EMDA therapy (intravesical electromotive drug administration). Stress urinary incontinence is treated here with sling procedures, colposuspension, and pelvic floor reconstructive surgery. Male urinary incontinence is treated with the implantation of the AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter.
The department treats patients with kidney stone disease. Patients with this pathology often suffer from renal colic, which is associated with intense pain. Other manifestations of the disease are painful urination, nausea and vomiting caused by pain, chills, high body temperature, general weakness, and fatigue. The department's doctors have at their disposal modern methods for the effective treatment of kidney stone disease, and the optimal type of therapy is prescribed individually based on the patient's clinical data. The most popular method of stone fragmentation is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). In addition, the department successfully performs ureterorenoscopy, percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy, and laser stone fragmentation. All of these techniques are sparing and do not require any skin incisions, thereby allowing patients to recover quickly and return to their usual way of life.
