Kidney & Pelvic Region
Renal / Urologic
Minimally invasive procedures targeting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and reproductive organs. These image-guided treatments offer alternatives to traditional surgery with less risk and faster recovery.
BPH / ProstateProstate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment that helps improve lower urinary tract symptoms caused by a Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Erectile Dysfunction & Men's HealthErectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition affecting millions of men, with causes ranging from psychological and hormonal factors to vascular disease. Pelvic Congestionis an interventional radiology treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. OVE helps relieve pain by using imaging guidance and a catheter to close off faulty veins so they can no longer enlarge with blood. Uterine FibroidsUterine Fibroid Embolization is a nonsurgical procedure that blocks blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and alleviate associated symptoms. VaricoceleVaricocele Embolization is an interventional radiology treatment for varicoceles that involves no incision near the genitals. It works by closing off blood flow to the affected vein(s), causing the varicocele to shrink. AngiomyolipomaSelective embolization of angiomyolipomas — benign kidney tumors containing blood vessels, muscle, and fat — to prevent bleeding and preserve kidney function. Cryoablation Renal CellUses extreme cold to destroy small kidney tumors. A needle-like probe is inserted through the skin, freezing and killing cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Gonadal Vein Embolization (Pelvic Congestion)Treatment of pelvic congestion syndrome by blocking the enlarged gonadal veins that cause chronic pelvic pain, primarily affecting women. Hydrocele Aspiration and SclerotherapyDrainage and treatment of hydroceles (fluid collection around the testicle) using aspiration followed by injection of a sclerosing agent to prevent re-accumulation. JelMyto TherapyDelivery of mitomycin gel directly into the upper urinary tract for treatment of low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer, providing targeted local chemotherapy. PCNL AccessPercutaneous nephrolithotomy access provides a pathway through the skin into the kidney for removal of large kidney stones that cannot be treated otherwise. Percutaneous Nephrostomy (PCN)Image-guided placement of a drainage catheter into the kidney's collecting system to relieve urinary obstruction and restore proper kidney function. Pre-Op Renal EmbolizationBlocking blood supply to kidney tumors before surgical removal to reduce bleeding during surgery and improve overall surgical outcomes. Prostatic Artery EmbolizationPAE is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), reducing prostate size and improving urinary flow. Suprapubic CathetersA catheter inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the bladder, providing an alternative to urethral catheterization for long-term bladder drainage. Uterine Artery EmbolizationUFE blocks blood flow to uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink. This preserves the uterus and avoids hysterectomy with significantly shorter recovery time. Varicocele EmbolizationVaricocele embolization is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicoceles — enlarged veins within the scrotum similar to varicose veins. Using a small catheter inserted through a tiny nick in the skin, coils or a sclerosing agent are used to block blood flow in the abnormal veins, redirecting blood through healthy pathways. Venous Leak Embolization for EDTreatment of erectile dysfunction caused by venous leak by blocking the veins that drain blood too quickly from the penis, restoring normal blood retention. XofigoAdministration of radium-223 (Xofigo) for treatment of bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer, targeting cancer that has spread to bones.
