Urology

At Cleveland Clinic London, we care for many genitourinary (also called urogenital) conditions. We offer groundbreaking, not widely available treatments that can lower the risk of side effects. We also perform other minimally invasive surgeries for prostate cancer and benign prostate diseases.

Among the common and complex conditions we treat are:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (enlarged prostate)
• Cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidneys
• Chronic kidney infections and urinary tract infections
• Erectile dysfunction
• Kidney stones
• Lumps, swellings or skin conditions of the testicles or penis
• Male infertility
• Overactive bladder
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Prostatitis
• Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels
• Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ), also known as pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction
• Urethral strictures

At Cleveland Clinic London, our experts combine skill and technology to offer urological cancer treatments that match your needs. Treatment options for urological cancers include: 

• Robotic cystectomy. Our internationally recognized bladder cancer surgeons perform this highly complex operation to remove your bladder. We may pair this procedure with something called an ileal conduit urinary diversion, which creates a new way for urine to pass out of your body after bladder removal. Or we may create a new bladder (neobladder) so you won’t have to have an external urine bag. Our specialists are among only a few surgeons in the U.K. to perform these complex procedures entirely robotically.
• Robotic nephrectomy. This procedure removes part or all of your kidney. We also use robotic or open techniques to perform a nephroureterectomy — a procedure to remove the renal pelvis, kidney, ureter and bladder cuff. Our team has extensive experience performing these procedures with consistently exceptional outcomes.  
• Robotic prostatectomy. This minimally invasive robotic surgery allows your surgeon to use robotic equipment to remove your prostate. This can result in a shorter recovery, fewer complications and a reduced hospital stay. Using specialised robotic techniques can often prevent side effects like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
• Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). In this minimally invasive surgery, your surgeon removes early-stage bladder cancers through your urethra. With this option, your surgeon typically doesn’t need to completely remove your bladder.  

Treatments for other genitourinary conditions

Whether it’s a common or complex genitourinary condition, our experts are here to help. Treatments we offer include:

• Penile implants to treat severe erectile dysfunction
• Kidney stone treatments, including shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy (URS), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and laser fragmentation of bladder stones
• Minimally invasive enlarged prostate treatments, including holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)
• Robotic pyeloplasty to correct ureteropelvic junction obstructions
• Sacral nerve stimulation to help with overactive bladder issues
• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Urethroplasty for urethral strictures
