Urology: Advanced Diagnosis & Minimally Invasive Treatment
Urology is one of the most frequently requested medical specialties among international patients, particularly for conditions affecting the prostate, kidneys and bladder, as well as urinary disorders and minimally invasive surgical treatments. Spain is internationally recognised for its excellence in urology, supported by highly specialised centres, advanced robotic surgery platforms and experienced multidisciplinary teams.
At SHC, we act as expert medical facilitators, ensuring fast and structured access to leading urologists according to each patient’s specific condition. Our role is to guide you through the entire care pathway with clarity and precision, prioritising safety, discretion and personalised clinical outcomes.
Precision Diagnosis & Personalised Care
Modern urology relies on accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive solutions. Spanish urology centres combine advanced imaging and evidence-based protocols to ensure that treatment decisions are precise and proportionate. At SHC, we ensure that every patient is referred to the most appropriate urological subspecialist and centre, avoiding unnecessary procedures and optimising recovery through personalised planning.
Key Areas of Urological Care
Comprehensive diagnostic assessment using multiparametric MRI and Fusion-guided biopsy. Treatment focuses on Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (Da Vinci Xi), image-guided radiotherapy, or focal therapies, selected according to the tumour’s molecular profile and stage.
Advanced management of prostate enlargement using minimally invasive techniques such as HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation) and GreenLight laser. These procedures are designed to restore urinary flow and quality of life while avoiding open surgery and minimising downtime.
Management options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), Flexible Ureteroscopy, and high-power laser lithotripsy. We focus on rapid stone clearance and the prevention of recurrence through metabolic and lifestyle evaluation.
Advanced management using robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgery, including Partial Nephrectomy (preserving healthy kidney tissue) and minimally invasive bladder tumour resection, often supported by immunotherapy protocols.
Specialised and confidential care for erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease and male infertility. Management includes medical therapy, hormonal replacement, and functional reconstructive surgery, always with the highest level of privacy.
Care for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Management involves advanced diagnostic assessment, minimally invasive surgery and a multidisciplinary approach, often in collaboration with gynaecology and specialised pelvic floor physiotherapy.
