Urology

Our expert urologists bring world-class care to our community. Patients from across the country come to us for targeted diagnosis and precise, minimally invasive treatments.  

BJC HealthCare offers:  

• Internationally recognized physicians: Our doctors aren’t simply up to date on the latest diagnostic tools and treatment options. They also pioneer and refine techniques, conduct medical research, and educate other physicians about the most effective methods. 
• Organ-sparing surgery: Our surgeons are among a select group who perform kidney- and prostate-sparing surgeries for patients with cancer. Instead of removing the entire kidney or prostate, we may remove only cancerous tissue. 
• The latest techniques: We treat a range of urologic conditions using the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures. These approaches offer you a quicker recovery time with less pain.
• Targeted prostate biopsies: We are able to find and treat prostate cancers that other centers miss. That’s because we are the first system in the St. Louis area with the technology and expertise to perform fusion-guided biopsies. We superimpose MRI and ultrasound images to aim precisely at areas that may contain cancer. This accuracy allows us to conduct focused biopsies, minimizing infection risk and increasing the chances of appropriate diagnosis.
• Easy access to exceptional cancer care: In the case of a cancer diagnosis, you have easy access to one of the nation’s leading cancer centers. Siteman Cancer Center is one of just 45 National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States.
