May, 2006 - Prolieve Thermodilatation System for treatment of BPH.

Western New York Urology is pleased to make available to our patients the Prolieve Thermodilatation System for treatment of BPH. This less invasive treatment is an option if you have moderate to severe symptoms and your prostate gland is the right size. The treatment is performed in our office and requires no general anesthesia or incisions. The 45-minute treatment is designed to relieve pressure on the prostatic urethra resulting in an improvement in urine flow. During the procedure, a balloon attached to a catheter opens up the prostatic urethra while microwave heat reduces the enlarged tissue of your prostate and improves urine flow. The majority of men leaves the office without a catheter and experience few post-treatment complication or side effects. For more information please visit www.prolieve.com or www.understandbph.com

Dr. Kopp, Dr. Gilbert,  Dr. Perrapato, Dr. Ricottone and Dr. Skomra are certified in Robotics.

If your urologist recommends surgery to treat your prostate cancer, you may be a candidate for a new, less invasive approach to surgery called da Vinci Prostatectomy. This approach to prostatectomy provides access to the internal anatomy through five small incisions. The surgeon is empowered to perform a very precise, nerve-sparing operation with the da Vinci Surgical System.
