Urologic Surgery
Both men and women can suffer from problems
of the kidney, bladder, ureter, urethra, and
urinary tract. The division of Urology at Penn
Presbyterian Medical Center offers broad experience
and knowledge to diagnose and treat illnesses
from kidney stone disease to urologic cancer.
Penn surgeons have developed innovative techniques
for bladder preservation as well as minimally
invasive ways to treat prostate cancer and kidney cancer, offering
patients much less invasive procedures as an
alternative to the traditional surgical option.
It is well known and documented in the medical
literature that the more on performs an operation,
the better the results achieved. Penn surgeons
lead the region in volumes of surgical cases
in a number of areas. In fact, the chief of
the division of Urology at Penn Presbyterian, David
I. Lee, MD, is one of the world's foremost
practitioners of robotic prostatectomy. He helped
pioneer the use of robotic prostatectomy and
teaches the technique to urologists across the
country.
