About the department
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology, Andrology at the University Hospital Erlangen ranks among the best departments in Germany specializing in prostate cancer treatment!
The department offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the fields of its expertise. The department's medical team specializes in the treatment of diseases of the urinary tract in women and men, as well as in the treatment of pathologies of the reproductive system in adult men and children, andrological diseases in men. The primary focus of the clinical practice of the department's doctors is medical care for patients with kidney, bladder, ureteral, urethral, prostate, testicular and penile cancers. The department's specialists keep pace with medical innovations, so most surgical interventions are performed using sparing laparoscopic techniques that do not require large incisions in the skin and soft tissues. To treat prostate cancer, doctors successfully use robot-assisted prostatectomy with the da Vinci surgical system. This intervention has many advantages over classical surgery and is available only in the best hospitals in the world. In addition, the department's doctors demonstrate excellent results in the treatment of kidney stone disease, urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. A specially trained team of doctors has been formed for the treatment of urological pathologies in children. Of particular interest is the correction of congenital genitourinary anomalies in young patients. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Bernd Wullich.
Since July 2012, the department has been using the innovative da Vinci surgical system, which allows performing sparing surgical treatment of urological pathologies. The main advance in this area is robot-assisted prostatectomy. Performing such an operation with the da Vinci surgical system provides the patient with many advantages, such as shorter hospital stay, earlier extraction of the urinary catheter and restoration of normal urination, less severe pain syndrome, lower risk of infection and complications, and minimal blood loss. The intervention is indicated for patients with prostate cancer.
The department's therapeutic offer in the field of urologic oncology includes not only prostate cancer treatment. The urologists of the medical facility also provide medical care to the patients suffering from bladder, kidney, ureteral, urethral, testicular and penile cancers. The treatment is carried out in collaboration with oncologists, radiation therapists, radiologists and other related specialists. The treatment regimen for each cancer patient is developed at an interdisciplinary tumor board. The first-line therapy is usually surgical resection of the malignant tumor, but in many patients this monotherapy is not sufficient. To destroy the remaining malignant cells in the body and achieve remission, doctors additionally use chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, ablative methods, targeted therapy and other types of treatment. Cancer patients also receive highly qualified psychological support.
The treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse is also an important focus of the department's clinical activities. Preference is always given to conservative therapeutic methods. These include drug therapy, special therapeutic exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, behavioral therapy, biofeedback, etc. If conservative methods do not give the desired result, doctors resort to surgery. The most effective interventions today are TVT and TVT-O sling procedures.
The diagnostics and treatment of urological diseases in children occupies an important place in the department's work. To carry out comprehensive examinations, doctors cooperate closely with the Departments of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. The department's pediatric urologists most often deal with the surgical treatment of congenital malformations of the kidneys and urinary tract (for example, ureteral stenosis, megaloureter), endoscopic and non-surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux, treatment of bladder exstrophy, neurogenic urinary disorders, as well as surgical treatment of diseases of the internal and external genitalia (epispadias, hypospadias). The therapeutic options include the treatment of kidney and bladder tumors and the formation of an artificial bladder. The service range is also complemented by therapy for urgent urological conditions. Since January 2019, the Section of Pediatric Urology has been certified as a Training Center for Pediatric Urology by the European Board of Paediatric Urology (EBPU).
In the field of andrology, the department admits men with infertility, erectile dysfunction, hormonal disorders (testosterone deficiency), penile pathologies (phimosis and paraphimosis, penile curvature), testicular pathologies (varicocele, hydrocele). As a rule, the treatment of these pathological conditions involves the use of conservative methods.
