Urología
La urología es la práctica de la medicina que se ocupa de las vías urinarias y del aparato urinario. Pueden surgir problemas a causa de enfermedades o disfunciones del aparato urinario. Los urólogos tratan a hombres y mujeres, pero se especializan en el aparato genital masculino.

Urology services we offer
Across the Greater Houston area, our specialists offer a full range of urology services to diagnose and treat conditions affecting both male and female urinary tracts and the male reproductive system. At some of our locations, we also have pediatric urologists who treat infants, children and adolescents with kidney, genital, ureter, bladder and urethra issues.
Urogynecology
Urogynecology is a specialty that combines care for female urologic and gynecological needs. Urogynecological conditions that are commonly treated include urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders.
Urologic robotic surgery
Some urologic procedures can now be performed using minimally invasive robotic surgery. Robotic surgery offers faster recovery times, minimal scarring and shorter hospital stays. Robotic surgery is ideal for delicate urologic procedures, as your surgeon is operating around parts of the urinary and reproductive tracts that can cause urinary incontinence and impotence. We typically use these types of robot-assisted methods when removing the bladder, kidney and prostate.
