Neurourology focuses on managing urinary tract problems caused by neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease. Reconstructive urology involves surgical procedures to restore or improve the function of the urinary tract, bladder, or pelvic floor affected by congenital anomalies, trauma, or cancer treatments.

Comprehensive care for prostate conditions includes screenings, diagnosis, and treatment options for conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, prostatitis, and urinary incontinence. Treatments range from medications and minimally invasive therapies to surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or robotic-assisted prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

Urologic oncology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers affecting the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and testicles. Treatment options may include surgery (nephrectomy, cystectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.

Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for patients with end-stage kidney failure, where a machine filters waste products and excess fluids from the blood, replicating the kidneys' natural function. There are two main types: hemodialysis, which uses a machine to clean blood outside the body, and peritoneal dialysis, where a special fluid is introduced into the abdomen to filter waste inside the body. Dialysis helps maintain electrolyte balance and fluid levels, improving overall health and longevity for kidney failure patients awaiting transplantation.

Transplant medicine involves comprehensive care for patients before, during, and after organ transplantation. This includes assessing transplant eligibility, coordinating with donors and recipients, managing immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, and monitoring for complications post-transplant. The goal is to optimize transplant outcomes and ensure long-term graft survival, providing patients with a new lease on life through organ replacement.
