About the department
The Department of Urology and Andrology at the Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of medical services for the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the male reproductive system, pathologies of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra in men and women. The field of competence of the department's doctors also includes medical care for men suffering from andrological disorders, including infertility, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, etc. The department's medical team provides each patient with an individual approach to his clinical case.
The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Volkan Tugcu. The specialist has colossal clinical experience and excellent qualifications. He is the author of numerous national and international scientific publications and has received prestigious awards in the field of urology. The doctor has developed his own method of robotic surgery, which he called "Tuğcu Bakırköy Technique".
The medical facility has an excellent medical and technical base, which allows the doctors to carry out high-precision diagnostics and effective treatment of even the most complex urological pathologies. The department performs almost all surgical interventions using laparoscopic, endoscopic and robotic techniques that effectively improve the condition of the genitourinary system and at the same time provide the patient with a speedy postoperative recovery, minimal pain and surgical risks. The department's urologists regularly undergo advanced training courses, during which they acquire knowledge about innovations in the area of their specialization and implement them in their clinical practice.
Particular place in clinical practice is given to the detection and treatment of urological cancers – prostate, testicular, bladder and kidney tumors. To diagnose prostate cancer, the department uses a PSA test and fusion biopsy with simultaneous reproduction of MRI and ultrasound images. These tests make it possible to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of prostate cancer with maximum accuracy. In most cases, the department performs robot-assisted prostatectomy to treat prostate cancer. It can be supplemented with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. The patients with contraindications for surgery are prescribed HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) therapy. All these innovative methods of diagnostics and treatment can successfully treat prostate tumors and significantly prolong the life of patients.
The department also often provides treatment for bladder cancer. According to statistics, pathology more often affects men than women. To confirm the diagnosis, the department's doctors perform a transurethral resection of the bladder – endoscopic operation for removal of a tumor (polyp) of the bladder, followed by microscopic examination of the sampled tissue. Depending on the examination results, an optimal treatment regimen is developed for the patient, which may include injection therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and radical cystectomy (total removal of the bladder). The combination of therapeutic measures is selected exclusively on an individual basis.
The department also deals with the treatment of andrological problems related to the reproductive and sexual health of males. In the case of suspicion of male infertility, the patient should undergo a spermogram, which assesses the quality of the sperm. If the results of the spermogram are unsatisfactory, the department's specialists carry out additional examinations in order to determine the causes of infertility, which plays a decisive role in the successful therapy. As a rule, the main causes of infertility in men are hormonal disorders, varicocele, undescended testicles, infectious testicular lesions, previous sexually transmitted diseases, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. The department's medical team has in its arsenal many effective assisted reproductive technologies for the treatment of male infertility factor. These include intrauterine insemination, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), micro-TESE (microdissection testicular sperm extraction) and TESA (testicular sperm aspiration).
The department's key clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostics and treatment of urologic cancers
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of urinary incontinence
- Diagnostics and treatment of urinary disorders
- Diagnostics and treatment of kidney stone disease (extracorporeal shockwave therapy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, ureterorenoscopy, retrograde intrarenal surgery)
- Diagnostics and treatment of andrological diseases in men
- Male infertility
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased libido
- Structural penile deformities
- Ejaculatory disorders
- Sexually transmitted disease
- Varicocele (varicose veins of the testicles)
