At the Urology Department of the Ruber Internacional Hospital, we have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of various prostatic pathologies, and our team of highly qualified urologists is dedicated to providing the best medical care to each patient.

Among the main prostatic pathologies we treat are:

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

This is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, which can cause urinary problems by compressing the urethra. Treatments include:

• Medical Therapy: The use of medications to reduce the size of the prostate and improve symptoms.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Interventions such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and laser ablation, which relieve urethral obstruction without open surgery.
• Open Surgery: In advanced cases, a prostatectomy may be performed to remove part or all of the prostate.

Prostate Cancer

This is the malignant growth of prostate cells. Our specialists in oncological urology offer various treatment options, including:

• Active Surveillance: In cases of low-risk prostate cancer, monitoring the disease may be chosen instead of immediate treatment.
• Open, Minimally Invasive, and Robotic Surgery: Radical prostatectomy is an option to remove the prostate and surrounding affected tissue.
• Radiotherapy: The use of radiation to destroy cancer cells.
• Hormonal Therapy: Blocking male hormones that stimulate the growth of prostate cancer.

Prostatitis

This is the inflammation of the prostate, which can be caused by bacterial or non-bacterial infections. Treatments may include:

• Antibiotics: To treat bacterial infections.
• Anti-inflammatory Drugs: To relieve pain and inflammation.
• Physical Therapy: Some cases may benefit from prostate massages and specific exercises.

Urología oncológica

This subspecialty of urology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of neoplasms or malignant tumors affecting the urinary tract and male genital organs. At the Urology Department of the Ruber Internacional Hospital, we have a team of highly specialized urologists in Oncological Urology who work closely with medical oncologists and radiotherapists to provide multidisciplinary and comprehensive care to our patients.

Some of the main oncological pathologies we treat include:

Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in men. Our approach includes:

• Active Surveillance: For patients with low-risk tumors, monitoring the cancer may be chosen before taking more invasive treatment decisions.
• Surgery: Radical prostatectomy is an option to remove the prostate and affected tissue in localized cases.
• Radiotherapy: The use of radiation to destroy cancer cells.
• Hormonal Therapy: Blocking male hormones that stimulate the growth of prostate cancer

Bladder Cancer: Bladder cancer is another common malignant tumor. Treatment options may include:

• Surgery: Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or radical cystectomy in advanced cases.
• Immunotherapy and Instillations: Intravesical treatments with medications that stimulate the immune system to fight cancer.

Kidney Cancer: Renal carcinoma is a cancer that affects the kidneys. Treatments may include:

• Surgery: Partial or total nephrectomy to remove the tumor and part or all of the affected kidney.
• Radiotherapy: In some cases, radiotherapy may be used to treat kidney tumors.

Retroperitoneal Tumors: These are tumors that originate in the retroperitoneal space, which surrounds the kidneys and other organs. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor.

At the Urology Department of the Ruber Internacional Hospital, we have extensive experience and are constantly updating our techniques with the most innovative treatments for urinary incontinence.

The diagnosis of urinary incontinence is generally made through a detailed medical history and a physical examination performed by our specialist. Additionally, complementary studies such as urine flow tests, ultrasounds, urodynamics, and voiding diaries may be used to assess bladder function and find the underlying cause of the incontinence.

The main treatment options for urinary incontinence are:

• Behavioral Therapy: This includes lifestyle changes, pelvic floor strengthening exercises, and bladder training techniques.
• Medications: Medications may be prescribed to reduce urinary frequency, relax the bladder, or improve the ability to retain urine.
• Medical Devices: Devices such as pessaries or catheters may be used to help control incontinence.
• Botulinum Toxin: Injected into the bladder to relax the muscles and reduce incontinence.
• Electrical Stimulation: Devices that electrically stimulate the bladder nerves may be used to improve urinary control.
• Surgery: In more severe cases that do not respond to other treatments, surgery may be considered to correct structural problems or to place a sling to support the urinary sphincter.

The most appropriate treatment for urinary incontinence will depend on the type and severity of the condition, as well as the individual patient's response to therapies.
