Treatment & Diagnosis Services

The Prostrate Center of the University Medical Center Freiburg is a contact point for all patients who suffer from prostrate illnesses. Immunotherapy and genetic therapy have become two important disciplines for the treatment of prostrate carcinoma. In cooperation with the departments of radiotherapy and oncology, we offer various methods of prostate carcinoma treatment, while new methods are continually being developed in our research department. In addition to routine operations with peritoneum or perineum incisions, our specialists also use well-known laparoscopic prostate excision. For benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment, we rely on a wide range of conservative and operational methods, including laser therapy.

Our department is one of the leading European centers for kidney surgery, particularly in the area of tumor operation and preservation of organs.

Together with specialists of the departments of radiotherapy and oncology, our experienced team of urologist is involved in the treatment of testis tumors.

Endoscopic operations and transurethral resections are performed to treat superficial urinary bladder tumors. Reconstructive urology, which is the formation of an artificial urinary bladder, is one of the main progressions in our work.

We apply the most modern methods for treating urolithiasis, using endourological, extracorporal (shockwave lithotripsy) and other non-invasive methods.

The treatment of urinary bladder incontinence and hyperesthesia incorporates various conservative and operative treatment methods which are selected for each patient on an individual basis. In 2005, the Department of Urology was recognized as one of the best centers for issues of incontinence in men and women in Germany.
