Patient Care

At Yale Urology, our surgeons care for patients with a wide variety of conditions, from the most common to the most complicated urologic problems. We offer our patients comprehensive programs in a broad range of subspecialties including oncology, infertility, pediatrics, neuro-urology and female urology, the management of stone disease and minimally invasive surgery. The department makes substantial contributions to research and education in urology, ensuring that patients have access to cutting-edge methodologies and the latest clinical findings.

• Urologic oncology, including cancer of the bladder, prostate, testis, kidney, and penis
• Kidney stone prevention and treatment, including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), nutrition counseling and medical management
• Neuro and female urology, providing care for voiding dysfunction, incontinence, female urologic problems, and urinary tract difficulties related to neurologic diseases
• Treatment of male infertility, addressed with microsurgical and minimally-invasive techniques for conditions such as varicoceles, obstruction of the vas deferens or epididymis, and dysfunction of sperm maturation

Our urologists use laparoscopic techniques, decreasing the usual lengths of stay associated with traditional surgery.
