Department of Urology
The Department of Urology offers advanced diagnostic and treatment methods for prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The key area of the department's specialization is prostate cancer treatment using irreversible electroporation (IRE) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). It is the only department in Europe where more than 1,500 irreversible electroporation procedures for prostate cancer have been successfully performed. This procedure is an excellent alternative to the classical treatment method for this type of oncology, a prostatectomy. The IRE technique demonstrates excellent success rates, while the risks of urinary incontinence are completely eliminated, and erectile dysfunction may potentially occur in only 3-5% of cases. It is impossible to achieve such outcomes with standard treatment approaches. The department has also gained unique experience in performing photodynamic therapy for prostate cancer and bladder cancer. Innovative methods such as immunotherapy and electrochemotherapy are widely used in the department to combat cancer. The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with the GreenLight laser and the Rezum device complements the department's therapeutic offer. The department's doctors prefer an individual approach to treating each patient, taking a highly responsible approach to selecting the optimal treatment method.
