        About the Department of Urology at Merian Iselin Clinic Basel

        The Department of Urology at the Merian Iselin Clinic Basel offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for men with diseases of the reproductive system. The department also deals with the treatment of women with infectious diseases of the genitourinary system, urinary incontinence, urolithiasis and kidney cancer. The department provides the first-class individualized service – the specialists of the medical facility devote enough time to counseling patients, explaining what disease they are dealing with and what treatment methods exist. The department provides both conservative and surgical treatment at the modern level of medicine with the use of the very latest innovations. The Chief Physician of the department is PD Dr. med. Gernot Bonkat. 

        The department has an excellent technological base. It offers all advanced diagnostic systems for the comprehensive diagnostics. Also, the pride of the department is the da Vinci surgical robot. This system is used to conduct sparing minimally invasive interventions that allow surgical instruments to be inserted into the body through small incisions. The da Vinci robotic system imitates the movements of the surgeon's hands and fingers with maximum accuracy during all operations. When performing the operation, the surgeon sits at the control unit – the console and is guided by high-definition three-dimensional images that he can see on a special screen. Performing operations with the da Vinci surgical system has many advantages. These benefits include minimal blood loss and pain, quick recovery after surgery, and the absence of large scars.

        • Diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer
