Urology

Living with a urological condition can be emotionally challenging and physically limiting. Working with state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) Urology builds personalized treatment plans designed resolve urological issues and restore patients’ lives.

Treatments and services

Urological consultations

Your relationship with our urology team begins with a consultation. Using information about your current condition as well as your medical and family histories, your doctor will recommend the appropriate tests. The data gathered will be valuable in creating a personalized and effective treatment plan for you.

Diagnostics

Our urological office offers a number of diagnostics on-site to ensure a prompt and accurate diagnosis. Available in our discrete and comfortable setting, they provide valuable insight into potential medical conditions such as enlarged prostate, incontinence, and cancers.

Available testing includes:

  • Biopsy
  • Ultrasound
  • Urinalysis
  • Urodynamics
  • Uroflow

Surgical services

If your condition does not respond to medication or other measures, surgery may be recommended. Laparoscopic, endoscopic, and open surgery options are available here at SVMC. You and your physician will discuss which is appropriate for your condition.

Surgery can be effective at treating several conditions, including:

  • Bladder cancer
  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Incontinence
  • Kidney disorders
  • Kidney stones
  • Prostate cancer

Family planning

Our urological team is experienced and skilled at no-scalpel vasectomies. Performed in our offices, typically in less than 30-minutes, the procedure results in reduced pain and fewer post-operative complications.

Education

At SVMC Urology, we truly believe that knowledge is power. Every patient’s care plan includes some element of education. Through in-office demonstrations and literature, we provide you with a better understanding of your condition, symptoms, and treatment options, and offer strategies for preserving your health in the future.
