About the department
The Department of Urology at the Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa offers the full range of medical services for the diagnostics and treatment of urinary tract diseases in men and women, as well as reproductive disorders in men. The department also has the most modern equipment and imaging technologies for the provision of high-quality surgical treatment of all urological pathologies. The health of patients is in the hands of the highly qualified doctors who keep pace with the innovations in medicine and apply their knowledge and skills for the effective treatment of ailments, even the most severe ones. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Gilad Amiel.
The department's urologists mostly diagnose and treat patients with prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia, kidney stone disease, congenital malformations of the urinary tract. It is worth noting that the department's specialists have extensive experience in such endoscopic procedures as percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureteroscopy using the very latest endoscopes, laser devices and imaging systems. The Dornier HM3 device, which is the most effective urological lithotripter, can also be used to treat urological diseases. If possible, minimally invasive treatment methods are preferred. However, in some cases, the traditional open surgery, which is also part of the service range of the department, remains the optimal treatment method. In addition, special attention is paid to the treatment of patients with benign diseases of the prostate gland. The operations to treat benign diseases are performed using resectoscopes, which minimize complications after transurethral resection of the prostate. The department also carries out a biopsy and diagnostics of prostate cancer using a special sonar system. This disease can be treated using various surgical techniques. In many cases, the doctors also resort to brachytherapy (internal radiation).
The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following urological pathologies:
- Cancers
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Malignant urinary tumors
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Urethral stricture
- Peyronie's disease
- Urinary incontinence
- Kidney stone disease
- Erectile dysfunction
- Male infertility
- Prostatitis
- Congenital urinary malformations
- Kidney anomalies
- Abnormalities of the reproductive organs
- Inflammatory urological diseases
- Varicocele
- Phimosis
- Other diseases
The department's range of medical services includes:
- Diagnostic options
- Cystoscopy
- Urography
- Electromyography (EMG) of the pelvic floor muscles
- Selective angiography
- Neurophysiological examinations
- Doppler ultrasound examination
- Nocturnal penile tumescence test (measurement of penile rigidity using the RigiScan device)
- Therapeutic options
- Stone fragmentation in the case of kidney stone disease
- Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
- Ureteroscopy
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
- Bladder reconstruction
- Formation of urostomy (ileal conduit)
- Sigmo-rectal pouch for urinary diversion
- Formation of artificial bladder from the small intestine
- Cystectomy (bladder removal surgery)
- Nephrectomy (kidney removal surgery)
- Open prostatectomy (prostate removal surgery)
- Retropubic approach
