Surgical Procedures
These highly trained urologists perform technologically advanced surgical procedures using the da Vinci Surgical System in our state-of-the-art surgical suites at Singing River Hospital and Ocean Springs Hospital.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
The use of sound waves or shock waves to break kidney stones into small fragments that can pass spontaneously.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
During this minimally invasive procedure the kidney stone is accessed through a small puncture wound (up to about 1cm) through this skin. It is most suitable to remove stones of more than 2 cm in size.
“No-Scalpel Vasectomy”
This technique uses a small clamp with pointed ends. Instead of using a scalpel to cut the skin, the clamp is poked through the skin of the scrotum and then opened.
Laparoscopic/Minimally Invasive Surgery
This is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body.
Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
Powered by robotic technology, the Da Vinci System enables the surgeon to operate through fewer, smaller incisions, allowing for more precise hand movement, greater range of motion, and magnified vision.
Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy
The use of a Holmium laser directed “beam” to vaporize and treat Kidney Stones.
Laser Prostatectomy for BPH/Prostate Cancer
Laser surgery for BPH involves inserting a scope into the urethra. A laser passed through the scope removes prostate tissue by ablation (melting).
Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal
This microsurgical technique is used to reverse the effects of a vasectomy, and to re-establish the flow of sperm.
Robotic Surgeries
South Mississippi Urologists use robotic surgery to perform the following minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures:
- Radical Prostatectomy
- Kidney Cancer (Radical & partial Nephrectomy)
- Adrenalectomy
- Colposacropexy
- Radical and partial Cystecomy
- Vesico-Vaginal Fistula Repair
- Pyeloplasty
