About the department
The Department of Urology at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a full range of kidney, bladder, and urethral diseases in both men and women, as well as prostate, testicular, and penile pathologies. The department provides both conservative and surgical treatment. The department successfully practices innovative da Vinci robotic surgery and performs laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. These operations are classified as minimally traumatic, while their effectiveness is comparable to the results of classical open surgery. Doctors of the department, together with specialists in nephrology and transplantology, perform kidney transplants, including from living donors. It should be noted that the medical facility is one of the few in Germany to perform kidney transplants using the da Vinci robotic technology. The priority focus of the urologists of the department is the treatment of cancers of the urinary system and male genitalia. The department is certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG) as a specialized center for prostate, testicular, kidney, and bladder cancer. The exceptional professionalism of the department's medical team, combined with state-of-the-art equipment, forms a solid basis for providing high-quality medical services to patients with urological diseases. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Georgios Gakis.
The department's team of urologists most often treats oncological diseases of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles, penis, and urethra. Patients are treated in the Center for Urologic Oncology certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG), where urologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, nephrologists, and physicians from other related specialties work hand in hand. Doctors meet weekly in a tumor board to review each clinical case and plan the most effective treatment for the patient. Therapeutic options include all methods available in modern medicine, ranging from surgical resection to systemic conservative treatment. In most cases, surgical resection of the malignancy is the first line of treatment. These surgical procedures are performed using sparing laparoscopic and robotic techniques, which allow for a minimal risk of complications and a rapid postoperative recovery. Surgery is almost always followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
The department performs many surgeries to treat oncologic diseases using the innovative da Vinci robotic technology, especially radical prostatectomy, the most popular surgery in urologic oncology. The da Vinci device has been available in the department since 2014. These surgical procedures have been performed here for more than 10 years, and the department's physicians are rightly considered to be among the most experienced experts in robotic surgery in Germany. During the surgery, the operating urologist sits at the control panel of the robotic system and gives it commands, which it executes with impeccable precision. The da Vinci robot is equipped with four manipulator arms with built-in miniature instruments. The arms of the robotic device have exceptional maneuverability, allowing surgical manipulations in hard-to-reach anatomical areas while preserving the integrity of small blood vessels and nerve endings. The da Vinci device also has a built-in 3D imaging system that allows the surgeon to view the surgical field in tenfold zooms. Robotic surgery is performed through miniature incisions, which minimizes the risk of life-threatening bleeding, reduces postoperative pain, and speeds recovery. The da Vinci technique is mainly used for patients with prostate cancer: in this case, robotic techniques help to preserve erectile function and eliminate the risk of urinary incontinence, which is almost impossible to achieve with a classic open surgery. The department has also gained extensive experience in performing robotic surgery for the treatment of kidney cancer.
The department regularly admits patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This pathology most often occurs in men over 50 years of age. The main symptoms of prostate adenoma are frequent urge to urinate, difficult and painful urination. The choice of treatment tactics depends on the patient's age, health condition, concomitant diseases, severity of symptoms, and degree of prostate enlargement. Early stages of prostate adenoma are usually treated with pharmacotherapy, while advanced stages are treated with transurethral electroresection of the prostate or laser surgery whenever possible.
The department is part of the Kidney Transplant Center, which was founded in 1974. Since its foundation, more than 2,000 kidney transplants have been performed here. The center specializes in kidney transplants from both living and deceased donors. The physicians in the department are highly skilled in living donor kidney transplantation, including with the sparing da Vinci robotic technology. Kidney harvesting is performed laparoscopically, without large incisions in the abdominal wall. The department's specialists work in close collaboration with surgeons at the University Hospital Magdeburg, enabling combined kidney and liver transplants, with plans to expand to include combined kidney and pancreas transplants in the future.
Key areas of clinical practice of the department include the following:
- Diagnostics and treatment of urological cancers
- Diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of testicular cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of penile cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of kidney cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of urethral cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Diagnostics and treatment of urolithiasis
- Diagnostics and treatment of urinary incontinence
