INTRODUCING THE DEPARTMENT:

With its current infrastructure, the Urology Department at TOBB ETU Hospital is able to perform all interventions procedures for the purpose of testing and treatment carried out in modern urology practice. Diagnosis and treatment for prostate diseases, bladder stone disease, all types of urologic cancer, urologic infections, andrology, pediatric and female urology is available at the department. There is an advanced multi-channel urodynamic laboratory supported by a computer system in order to provide support for polyclinic services. Interventions such as diagnosing and monitoring bladder tumors with a flexible/compact cystoscope, placing and removing stents are carried out painlessly under polyclinic conditions. For the purpose of diagnosing prostate cancer, doctors in the department are able to take prostate biopsies using a transrectal ultrasound, under local anesthesia. The Urology Department at TOBB ETU Hospital has a state of the art operating room capable of carry out all types of endoscopic surgeries. The OR1™ system, a first in Turkey, enables one-point control for all of the devices and surrounding components within the operating room. The system also has a conference system to be used for the purpose of training and academics. All of the imaging resources (endoscopy camera, wall camera, conference room camera) have advanced standards. Thanks to this technical infrastructure, procedures such as endoscopic (urethroscopic, percutaneous) open stone surgeries, endoscopic (TUR-closed) open prostate surgeries used in benign prostate enlargements, and Greenlight PVP treatment using laser energy can be carried out successfully. Thanks to our experienced staff in the department we are able to perform all types of radical surgeries required for kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular, and penile cancer. In the field of clinical andrology, our department offers microscopic varicocelectomy surgery required for infertility treatment, and all types of medical and surgical treatment services required for erectile dysfunctions. In the field of female urology, our department offers treatment for stress incontinence, and urges incontinence (urinary incontinence). Our developed urodynamic laboratory assists us in assessing alternative treatments. In the field of pediatric urology, our department provides all types of medical and surgical treatment for congenital abnormalities of the genito-urinary tract, recurring urinary tract infections, and urinating disorders, in a multi-disciplinary fashion together with our pediatric department. In the field of neurourology, our department diagnoses, treats, and monitors nerve-related genitourinary diseases.

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) Urinary system stone disease is a quite common health problem that affects 2-3% of people and causes serious problems if not treated. It occurs more frequently in hot and arid climate zones, is associated with genetic factors and nutrition; our country is one of the countries where the incidence of stone is relatively high.

MR Fusion Prostate Biopsy

While prostate diseases, which are the most common disease group in men in the world, are seen as prostate infections in younger ages; it appears as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer (PCa) more after the age of 50.

Guard Prostate

The word prostate comes from the word "prostates", which is derived from a Greek word. Its meaning is standing in front, guard and protector. The size of a normal prostate in a healthy male is as a large walnut. The weight of the prostate is between 10 and 20 grams. It is located at the base of the urinary bladder and it also surrounds the urinary tract.

PROSTATE CANCER

In the last decade of the 20th century, the human population will increase by 1 billion, but in the next 25 years it will approach 2 billion. A person born in 1920 shared this world with 1.5 billion people and now shares it with 6 billion people. In our lives, a rapidly aging population (> 65 years old) and very old (> 85) populations are formed. As the elderly population triples, a 20-35% decline in the number of children is foreseen.

OVERACTIVE BLADDER- Urology

Overactive bladder is the unpreventable and involuntary contraction of the urinary bladder. Since subjects with this conditions regards it as a normal age-dependent disorder or as an irreversible condition, they do not need to seek medical support or therapy. However, this is a treatable condition.

MALE INFERTILITY - Urology

What is the infertility? Infertility is defined as pregnancy not occurring in a year despite regular sexual intercourse of couples without contraception.

VASECTOMY - Urology

Sperm (male germ cell) is produced in testicles. Vas deferens (the seminal tract) transports sperms from testicle to penis. Vasectomy is a small procedure in which vas deferens is excised. After this operation, no change occurs in the appearance of the fluid discharged during intercourse; however, pregnancy does not occur because there is no sperm cell in the fluid.

PROSTATE CANCER - Urology

It is a walnut-sized gland found only in men. It is located at the base of urinary bladder and also completely surrounds urinary tract. Prostate continues to grow from the birth to age of 20 years and it reaches to its mature size at this age and does not grow anymore. It remains in this size until age of 45 years and it starts to grow again. Duty of prostate is to contribute to the production of the fluids in ejaculate (semen) which is responsible fortransportation of sperms (menis germ cell).

BLADDER CANCER - Urology

It is the uncontrolled proliferation of cells that form the bladder. If the proliferation is limited to the superficial layer of the bladder, then it is called superficial bladder cancer. If the proliferation is deeper and penetrates into the muscle layer, it will be called as deep (invasive) bladder cancer.

URINARY TRACT STONES - Urology

Urinary tract stones are the crystallization and accumulation of minerals or substances that cannot dissolve in urine and be discharged over time. Normally, there are some protective chemical substances in the urine which prevent crystallization. However, this preventative mechanism may not operate fully in some people.

BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH) - Urology

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to commence and/or maintain an erection required for sexual intercourse. Since individuals with this disorder often think of it as a normal condition resulting from age or an irrecoverable condition they do not feel the need to get medical support and help. In fact, this is a treatable disorder. Erectile dysfunction is a very common condition. Two out of three males over 40 at least at some point experience problems developing or maintaining an erection.
