What this specialty covers.

Urology treats diseases of the urinary tract in women and men, as well as certain conditions of the male reproductive system. It covers in particular the prostate, kidneys, bladder and urinary stones.

This is one of the specialties where the surgical approach changes recovery the most: open surgery and robotic prostatectomy do not compare in hospital stay or in return to normal life. The urologist tells you what is technically possible in your case and what each route involves — including for continence and sexual function, which are rarely discussed early enough.

What we organise around the medical care.

You take only what you need: nothing is imposed and nothing is sold as a package.

Medical appointments

Consultations, tests and surgery placed in an order that makes sense, with no day lost between two appointments.

Visa support

Letter of medical care and supporting documents, for the nationalities that require them.

Accommodation and transfers

A place to stay near the facility, airport pick-up and travel during your stay.

Travelling companion

We plan for them from the start: accommodation, transfers and presence at consultations.

What patients ask us.

No. A small stone often passes on its own, with pain relief and enough fluid. Size, position and the effect on the kidney decide the procedure: lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous surgery. The urologist places your case from the CT scan.

Not straight away. Medical treatment is enough in many cases. Surgery becomes necessary where there is retention, repeated infection, an effect on the kidney, or failure of treatment. Uroflowmetry and post-void residual measurement help settle it.

It depends on the equipment of the facility and on the team treating you. We confirm the approach chosen in your proposal, before you travel, rather than announcing it as a selling point.

A urinary catheter is left in place for a few days, and pelvic floor rehabilitation is often prescribed. Continence returns gradually, over weeks to months. The surgeon explains what to expect in your situation before you decide.

Have your file read before you decide.

A doctor reviews it and tells you what is possible, what is not and what it involves. With no commitment on your part.
