Introduction to the?department of urology

?The department of urology?is a?famous clinical urologic center in China?for its?high quality clinical care, academic studies and mini-invasive urological surgery.?It?performed the first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in china.?It’s a?“National Key Clinical Specialty”,?“Key Discipline of Sun Yat-Sen University”?and the?National Urologist Training Center of CUA (Chinese Urological Association).

The department?is?composed of three general urology units, one endourology center, one EWSL center, one urinary dynamic unit, one ultrasound examination room and?an?editorial department of Chinese Journal of endourology (electronic version).?The department has 6?sub-specialties, including prostate disease (benign hyperplasia of prostate and prostate cancer), urologic oncology (kidney cancer and bladder cancer), stone disease, pediatric urology, functional urology (female urology and urodynamics) and andrology.?We provide the top-ranking?laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery, nerve-sparing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy,?single-port transvesical laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus orthotopic neobladder?in China.?Endourology, especially PCNL under recumbency lithotomy position, ureteroscopic lithotripsy, flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy, has become?the?feature procedure in the treatment of complicated upper urinary stone diseases. Transurethral enucleation of the prostate is the main?treatment option?for BPH.
