About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology, Andrology at the University Hospital Giessen UKGM offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with pathologies of the genitourinary system, including andrological disorders. The department has 47 beds for inpatient treatment. The department annually serves more than 2,300 inpatients and about 1,300 outpatients. The medical team of the department consists of highly qualified employees who have a perfect command of classical and innovative therapeutic methods, thanks to which they achieve high rates of treatment success. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Florian Wagenlehner.
In the treatment of oncological diseases of the urological spectrum, the department uses organ-preserving, minimally invasive, laparoscopic and radical surgical techniques. All therapeutic measures correspond to the very latest relevant achievements of oncological therapy and are prescribed to patients within the framework of interdisciplinary tumor boards.
Key attention is paid to endoscopic treatments. Laser therapy is mainly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder ulcers. In bladder cancer, the standard treatment option is fluorescent surgical resection of the tumor. In addition, endoscopic laser therapy is successfully used in kidney stone disease treatment. The department has at its disposal a modern system for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This technique involves non-invasive fragmentation of stones in the kidneys and ureters using concentrated ultrasound waves, while the remaining stones are excreted naturally in the urine. Ureterorenoscopy, laser lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolitholapaxia can also be used for treatment.
The department offers all diagnostic tests to identify the causes of infertility in men. It successfully performs surgical interventions to treat infertility. The standard procedures for extracting sperm from the testis or epididymis include microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA), testicular sperm extraction (TESE), a combination of these methods, and microscopic testicular extraction of spermatozoa.
An important area of specialization of the department is pediatric urology. In case of congenital malformations of the genitourinary tract, the doctors perform reconstructive operations to eliminate functional disorders. The department performs organ-preserving, as well as radical surgical treatment of all benign and malignant tumors of the genitourinary system in children. The pediatric urologists also specialize in conducting endoscopic procedures, fragmentation of stones using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and laparoscopic interventions.
