About the department
The Department of Urology and Andrology at the Meoclinic Hospital Berlin offers the full range of medical services in the fields of its competence. The department's highly qualified doctors carry out comprehensive examinations of the urinary system, as well as of the reproductive system in men. The specialists of the medical facility strive to detect pathological changes in the early stages, so urologists always recommend their patients to undergo regular preventive check-ups. The therapeutic offer includes both conservative procedures and surgical interventions. Of particular interest is the treatment of benign and malignant neoplasms of the prostate, testicles, bladder and kidneys. In the field of surgical treatment, doctors use the most modern and reliable techniques: endourologic, minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques. The department offers a variety of innovative therapeutic methods, such as focal therapy for prostate cancer, low dose rate brachytherapy, en bloc resection of the bladder wall with a tumor, and others. The department's range of services is supplemented by the treatment of andrological diseases: erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, male infertility, penile curvature, varicocele.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Manfred Beer. The specialist has more than 25 years of successful clinical experience. The doctor has performed over 50,000 surgical interventions for the treatment of prostate, bladder and kidney tumors. Prof. Manfred Beer is one of the pioneers in the field of laparoscopic and laser surgery.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The risk of developing the disease increases after the age of 40, so the department's specialists recommend an annual preventive check-up by a urologist. The key diagnostic method is a prostate-specific antigen blood test. If the indicator is abnormal, an additional MRI- and ultrasound-guided fusion biopsy of the prostate gland is performed. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, the attending physician proceeds to develop an individual treatment regimen. The most common first-line therapy is radical prostatectomy with the Da Vinci surgical system. Such an operation is characterized by minimal trauma, but at the same time it allows achieving excellent results. In addition, the robot-assisted intervention allows the patients to maintain potency, exclude urination disorders, reduce blood loss and pain. Nonetheless, radical prostatectomy is not the only treatment option for prostate cancer available in the department. Another effective and modern type of treatment is HIFU therapy (high-intensity focused ultrasound). As a rule, this procedure is indicated for patients with localized prostate cancer (T1/T2), cancer recurrence, after brachytherapy and in the presence of contraindications to surgical treatment. The department also provides low dose rate brachytherapy, which is an innovative type of contact radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The essence of the therapeutic procedure is to place a radioactive source near the tumor, which makes it possible to deliver the maximum dose of radiation directly to the pathological focus, while causing minimal damage to the healthy tissues.
The department's team of doctors also successfully deals with the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. To treat the pathology, the medical facility uses modern techniques, such as Greenlight laser surgery, minimally invasive sparing treatment with water vapor using the REZÜM system and prostatic artery embolization. Each of the above mentioned procedures is characterized by minimal trauma and allows the patients to effectively get rid of the pathology. The urologists accurately study the clinical data of the patient, based on which they determine the procedure that will allow the patient to get rid of benign prostatic hyperplasia as efficiently as possible.
A special place in the department's clinical practice is occupied by the treatment of kidney diseases. The medical team admits patients with kidney failure, inflammatory kidney disease, kidney stone disease, polycystic disease and kidney cancer. If the kidney pathology is suspected, the specialists carry out comprehensive diagnostics, including a number of laboratory tests, kidney ultrasound, blood pressure measurement, as well as a biopsy for suspected oncology or glomerulonephritis. With the resulting diagnostic data, the attending physician prescribes the best treatment option – drug therapy or organ-preserving surgery. If the patient has a large neoplasm, a nephrectomy (kidney removal surgery) may be required.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by medical care for patients with erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, low libido and male infertility. The treatment of andrological diseases involves the use of medications, and in some cases, doctors may resort to surgical techniques. For example, the patients with drug-resistant erectile dysfunction are recommended for penile prosthesis implantation. In addition, men with andrological diseases need to avoid stressful situations, reconsider their diet, get rid of excess weight, lead an active lifestyle and give up bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol). If the man suffers from infertility, doctors offer him modern options for solving this problem, including microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA), testicular sperm extraction (TESE), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and other procedures.

- Diagnostics
