Clinical Divisions:
Endourology and Laparoscopic Surgery
Endourologists at Loyola University are leaders in the field of
minimally invasive surgery. Patients who have undergone a minimally
invasive procedure at Loyola often go home the next day. These patients
need less pain medication after surgery; have less blood loss during
surgery; have a low infection rate; and are up around and back to
normal activities more quickly than with conventional surgery.
A variety of conditions can be treated in this fashion including
patients with kidney stones, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic
hyperplasia, and renal tumors. Ureteroscopy, shock wave lithotripsy,
and the entire range of laparoscopic surgery in urology are performed
here including adrenalectomy, simple and radical nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy,
and urinary incontinence surgery.
