About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology, Andrology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the reproductive organs and urinary system in men. Key attention is paid to the treatment of urologic cancers, benign prostatic hyperplasia, kidney stone disease and urinary incontinence in men and women. The department also specializes in kidney transplantation (in collaboration with the Department of Nephrology) and the treatment of andrological diseases in men, including infertility. To provide surgical treatment, the department uses sparing minimally invasive techniques and the da Vinci surgical system, which minimize the risk of complications and guarantee the fastest possible recovery of patients. The department is certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG) as a specialized Prostate and Kidney Cancer Center. The department annually admits more than 5,600 inpatients, which makes the urological medical facility one of the largest in Germany. All the department's doctors are highly qualified specialists in their field of expertise, so patients can be sure that they will receive high-quality treatment using the very latest therapeutic techniques. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Thomas.
The priority focuses of the department's work are the treatment of malignant diseases of the reproductive organs in men, as well as the urinary system in men and women: prostate, testicular, bladder, and kidney cancers. The therapeutic options range from modern conservative methods (for example, immunotherapy, chemotherapy) to minimally invasive and radical interventions to remove neoplasms. At the advanced stages of oncopathology, patients receive high-quality palliative care. Since the beginning of 2006, the department has had the da Vinci surgical system, which is effectively used for radical prostatectomy. This progressive device allows the doctors to carry out the most accurate incisions during surgery, minimizing blood loss, the risk of postoperative complications and infection, as well as guarantee rapid recovery. The department's specialists also have won an excellent reputation in the field of testicular cancer treatment.
A separate field of the department's specialization is the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Doctors have effective modern techniques, for example, drug therapy, classical resections, photoselective laser vaporization using the Greenlight® laser, as well as open surgery (adenomectomy) with a significant prostate gland enlargement. The optimal type of treatment is determined strictly on an individual basis, based on the patient's diagnostic results.
The department employs highly qualified doctors, who perfectly cope with the treatment of urologic diseases in children. Particular focus is made on the correction of congenital malformations, for example, hypospadias, phimosis, cryptorchidism, as well as functional bladder surgery for reflux or renal pelvic defects, and the treatment of urinary incontinence in children. The department's pediatric urologists have all the necessary technical resources to carry out the diagnostic examination and optimal treatment.
In the field of andrology, the department admits men suffering from erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, infertility, hormonal disorders and other pathologies. The department successfully performs surgery to repair the penile curvature. For erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation treatment, drug therapy is mostly used. Men suffering from infertility are offered the TESE procedure – the extraction of sperm from the testicle for subsequent in vitro fertilization. Those patients who need chemotherapy or radiation therapy have the opportunity to undergo a cryopreservation procedure – sperm freezing. If a man has hormonal disorders detected, he will undergo comprehensive diagnostics, after which drug therapy will be prescribed for the normalization of the male sex hormone levels.
The department's key clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer
- Conservative treatment methods (such as chemotherapy)
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Radical surgery
- Robot-assisted surgery (da Vinci surgical system)
