Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Lars Ellison (at left in photo) has extensive experience in minimally invasive urologic surgery for diseases of the kidney, ureter, bladder and prostate. Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small incisions. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery recover quickly. This allows them to return to their usual lifestyle sooner than with more traditional surgical approaches.

Cryosurgery for Prostate Cancer and Other Conditions
Dr. Martyn Vickers (at right in photo) offers cryoablation of prostate cancer. This minimally invasive technique provides primary treatment for all grades of localized prostate cancer, and offers a curative option for patients with high medical risks and for patients with recurrent localized prostate cancer, status post radiation therapy. It is an option for patients who wish to preserve potency and quality of life and to avoid blood transfusions.
Dr. Vickers has initiated a program that is designed to quicken the recovery of erectile function following radical prostatectomy (open or laproscopic) or total cryoablation of the prostate for prostate cancer. Learn more now about penile rehabilitation.
