Kidney Stone Evaluation And Management
Patients with suspected kidney stones receive same-day imaging and a focused workup to identify stone size, location, and composition. The team tailors medical expulsive therapy or procedure-based removal based on symptoms and renal function.
For eligible candidates, shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy are offered using dusting techniques to clear stones efficiently while preserving kidney tissue. Detailed prevention strategies, including 24-hour urine testing and dietary counseling, are provided to reduce recurrence.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia And Prostate Health
Assessment Options
Men over 50 or those with early urinary symptoms are encouraged to discuss prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal findings. Urology Group Lansdowne uses risk stratification tools to match each patient with active surveillance, medication, or timely surgical intervention.
Treatment Pathways
Treatment plans for BPH may include alpha blockers, combination medical therapy, or procedural options such as UroLift and Rezum. Robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy is available for larger glands when outpatient drainage is preferred over long-term medications.
Urologic Oncology And Robotic Surgery
Oncologic care at Urology Group Lansdowne emphasizes early detection through targeted screening and precise staging with contrast-enhanced imaging. When cancer is diagnosed, the group coordinates medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical planning in a single collaborative network.
Robotic prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy are performed with enhanced recovery protocols to minimize hospital stay and preserve function. Detailed visual mapping and nerve-sparing techniques are used whenever oncologically safe to support continence and potency.
Advanced Diagnostics And Outpatient Services
On-site ultrasound, CT urography, and flexible urodynamics allow rapid assessment of urinary flow, pressure, and anatomy. Outpatient cystoscopy and small-volume laser procedures reduce the need for general anesthesia and same-day discharge.
The group maintains electronic communication with referring providers, sharing structured reports and imaging links within 24 to 48 hours. This model supports continuity of care, timely adjustments to medications, and clear expectations for follow-up testing.
