\nThe surgical treatment available here includes laparoscopic surgery (total resection of kidney, prostate and urinary bladder, partial resection of kidney and urinary bladder), open surgery (resection for renal cell carcinoma with IVC extension, urinary diversion etc.), and transurethral endoscopic surgery (transurethral resection of tumor in urinary tract).
\nNon-surgical treatment options include chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, androgen deprivation therapy, and external beam radiotherapy. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Other options are multimodal treatment for advanced cancer, palliative care, cancer prevention, and active surveillance for prostate cancer and small renal masses.<\/p>\n

Pediatric urology<\/h4>\n

In pediatric urology, we mainly focus on cryptorchidism, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), hypospadias, congenital hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO).
