Pathologies
Urological oncology
The service takes care of all urogenital cancer pathologies, cancers of the kidney of the upper excretory tract, bladder, prostate, testicles, retroperitoneal and adrenal tumors. It provides diagnosis and surgical, laparoscopic or conventional treatment depending on the case.
The files are discussed in a multidisciplinary consultation meeting with the Center François Baclesse team, where urological surgery is not covered but where chemotherapy, when necessary, is covered.
Neuro-urology
Neuro-urology is the management of all urinary and sexual symptoms related to a neurological disease (multiple sclerosis, paraplegia, etc.) or without a clearly recognized cause.
Explorations (urodynamic assessment, endoscopies), treatments (medication, sacral neuromodulation, botulinum toxin, even major surgery to protect the urinary tract) are a recognized activity of the service.
Incontinence, genitourinary prolapse
This care is carried out from symptom to treatment, often on an outpatient basis.
All types of incontinence are supported, male or female. We have at our disposal all the exploration or treatment techniques, whether minimally invasive (strips) or more specialized (sacral neuro-modulation, botulinum toxin, artificial sphincter) treatments.
All files are discussed before surgery in a Multidisciplinary Consultation Meeting ( RCP )
Chronic Kidney Failure Surgery
Through nephrologists, we provide kidney transplants (deceased donor or related living donor), organ removal surgery and surgery of the peritoneal access for dialysis.
prostate adenoma
This frequent pathology may require drug or more aggressive treatment (endoscopic resection of the prostate, radiofrequency and soon laser which can then be performed on an outpatient basis).
Prostate cancer
It is up to the urologists to ensure the early diagnosis of this frequent disease detected by the PSA assay and digital rectal examination and proven by prostate biopsies carried out by the urologist on an external basis.
Depending on the potential severity of the disease, treatments can range from simple surveillance to surgery (laparoscopic or conventional). We are an expert center in the treatment technique by Ablatherm. Radiotherapy, when it is proposed (grain brachytherapy, conformal radiotherapy) is carried out at the Center François Baclesse, as well as certain chemotherapies.
Kidney tumors
Kidney tumours, benign or most often malignant, usually require surgical treatment, requiring partial or total removal of the diseased kidney, by laparoscopy or conventional surgery.
In more severe stages, the use of modern drug treatments (anti-angiogenic) is provided by the Center François Baclesse team.
Bladder tumors
Most often revealed by red urine (hematuria), they are initially treated by natural means, the use of bladder excision surgery is fortunately less frequent.
Urinary stones
Revealed most often by pain such as renal colic, urological treatment may prove necessary, whether urgently or in a deferred manner.
The use of extracorporeal lithotripsy is less and less frequent since we have at our disposal a laser and miniaturized equipment allowing us to seek out and destroy stones, whether they are in the kidney or the ureter.
For larger kidney stones, we will resort to percutaneous surgery by entering the kidney through a small cutaneous orifice. The use of conventional open surgery is exceptional.
erectile dysfunction
The urology department supports the exploration and treatment of erectile dysfunction whatever its origin.
