Services & Conditions

For conditions like kidney stones, urologists use various minimally invasive options depending on the stones' size, location, and complexity Ureteroscopy involves inserting a thin scope through the urethra to locate and break up stones in the urinary tract using laser technology, often requiring no incisions.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) uses sound waves to fragment stones non-invasively, allowing the patient to pass the fragments naturally.

For larger or more complicated stones, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) provides direct access to the kidney through a small incision, making it ideal for patients with larger or harder-to-reach stones.

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is another essential minimally invasive option, commonly performed to diagnose and remove bladder tumors. This procedure allows for effective removal with minimal recovery time, making it valuable for bladder cancer management.

These minimally invasive approaches enable urologists to offer safe, effective, and often outpatient solutions for various urological issues.

Urology Specialists of Stuart’s approach to diagnosing and treating prostate health involves a comprehensive evaluation to detect benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis or prostate cancer. Diagnostics include PSA blood tests, digital rectal exams (DRE), advanced imaging techniques such as MRI, and genetic biomarkers.

For BPH we offer medical management as well as office-based procedures and cutting edge-surgeries to eliminate urinary bother. If prostate cancer is detected during our evaluation treatment options range from active surveillance for low-risk cases to more aggressive interventions such as robotic assisted prostatectomy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or minimally invasive procedures like focal therapy and robotic-assisted techniques. A personalized treatment plan is developed based on the patient's specific condition, risk factors, and overall health to ensure optimal prostate health care and outcomes.

Kidney health is crucial for maintaining the body’s overall well-being, as the kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, balancing electrolytes, and managing blood pressure. Kidney-related issues are widespread, with common problems including kidney stones, renal cysts, and renal masses. Kidney stones affect approximately 1 in 10 people globally and are prevalent in both men and women. The formation of stones can cause severe pain, blood in the urine, and other complications if not treated. At Urology Specialist of Stuart we use minimally invasive techniques to remove kidney stones and offer comprehensive metabolic evaluation to precent kidney stone formation.

Renal cysts are fluid-filled sacs on the kidneys, often associated with aging and commonly harmless, though some can grow large or become symptomatic, causing pain or infection risks. Renal masses maybe benign of can be malignant and require prompt operative attention. We offer robotic assisted surgery to remove kidney masses while preserving the most healthy kidney tissue possible.

At Urology Specialists of Stuart, we offer a range of services to address conditions affecting the urinary tract and pelvic floor specific to women’s health. One primary area of focus is incontinence, a condition where involuntary urine leakage affects daily life. For stress incontinence, often caused by weakened pelvic muscles, options include pelvic floor therapy, bladder training, and minimally invasive surgical procedures like sling implantation. Additionally, for urge incontinence or overactive bladder (OAB), urologists can offer lifestyle modifications, medications, or more advanced therapies such as Botox injections into the bladder muscle and nerve stimulation therapies. These interventions are designed to help women regain control and improve their quality of life.

Beyond incontinence, Urology Specialists of Stuart address a variety of other urinary and pelvic floor issues. Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), pelvic organ prolapse, and interstitial cystitis are also commonly treated. Pelvic organ prolapse, where weakened muscles allow organs to press against the vaginal wall, can be managed through physical therapy, pessaries, or surgical repair. For recurrent UTIs, preventive strategies may involve lifestyle changes, antibiotic management, or hormonal therapies. Urologists are equipped to handle comprehensive diagnostics, including urodynamic studies and imaging, allowing for a precise and personalized approach to each patient’s needs in female urology. These specialized services help empower women to manage their health proactively with targeted and effective treatment plans.

The Urologists with Urology Specialists of Stuart provide a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating erectile dysfunction (ED), which affects millions of men globally and can stem from various physical, psychological, and lifestyle-related factors. The diagnostic process often begins with a detailed medical history, physical examination, and assessment of any underlying health conditions that may contribute to ED, such as diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal imbalances. Our in-house lab services make it quick and easy to evaluate hormone levels, glucose, and cholesterol to differentiate between physical and psychological causes of ED.

For treatment, Urology Specialists of Stuart offers several options tailored to the underlying cause and severity of ED. First-line treatments typically include lifestyle modifications, such as exercise, diet changes, and managing stress, alongside medications. For men who do not respond to medications, we offer other therapies, such as intracavernosal injections, vacuum erection devices, and penile implants. Additionally, hormone replacement therapy can be considered if low testosterone levels are contributing to ED. These treatments aim to restore or improve erectile function, giving men a range of options to regain confidence and improve intimacy in their relationships.

Urologists with Urology Specialists of Stuart provide both vasectomy services and male infertility treatments, offering comprehensive options for men at different stages of family planning.

For men whose family is complete, we offer scalpel-less vasectomy, a minimally invasive form of permanent contraception that involves sealing the vas deferens to prevent sperm from mixing with ejaculate. We perform this procedure in-office and it typically takes under 30 minutes. Recovery is straightforward, with most men resuming daily activities within a few days. Vasectomy is highly effective. While vasectomy should be considered permanent, we do offer vasectomy reversals, a microsurgical procedure that reconnects the vas deferens for men who later decide to have children.

For men experiencing difficulty conceiving, Urology Specialists of Stuart provides comprehensive male infertility evaluations and treatments. This process starts with a thorough medical history, physical exam, and semen analysis to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormone testing, genetic screening, and imaging studies such as scrotal ultrasounds may also be used to identify underlying causes, including hormonal imbalances, varicocele, or obstruction in the reproductive tract. Depending on the diagnosis, we offer various treatments, such as hormone therapy, surgical interventions, or assisted reproductive techniques like sperm retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF). These comprehensive offerings allow men facing infertility to explore various options, increasing the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy and fulfilling family planning goals.

*** We also do in-house venipuncture and have Nitrous “Laughing Gas” for any uncomfortable procedures. ***

Urologists play an important role in diagnosing and managing low testosterone (low T), a condition that can lead to symptoms such as reduced energy, decreased libido, mood changes, and muscle loss. The diagnostic process involves blood tests to measure testosterone levels, a thorough review of symptoms and medical history. Once low T is confirmed, our urologists may recommend lifestyle modifications like improved diet, exercise, and sleep as initial steps. For those who need additional intervention, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore testosterone to healthy levels, alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life. At Urology Specialists of Stuart, various forms of TRT are available, including gels, injections, pills and long-acting options, each tailored to fit a patient’s lifestyle and specific health needs.

One notable treatment option is AVEED, a long-acting testosterone injection that can be administered by a urologist every 10 weeks, providing a convenient alternative to more frequent treatments. AVEED consists of testosterone undecanoate, which is slowly released into the bloodstream, helping maintain stable testosterone levels over time and reducing the fluctuations seen with shorter-acting therapies. This approach can be particularly beneficial for men looking for a less intensive maintenance schedule while achieving consistent symptom relief. At Urology Specialists of Stuart we carefully monitor patients on AVEED and other TRT options through regular follow-ups and lab testing to ensure testosterone levels remain within target ranges and to watch for any potential side effects, ensuring safe and effective management of low T over the long term.

Urologists at Urology Specialists of Stuart offer a variety of minimally invasive surgical options designed to treat complex urological conditions with minimal downtime and improved patient comfort. Robotic-assisted surgery, is commonly used for procedures such as prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and genitourinary reconstruction, allowing for high precision, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery times. With the surgeon controlling robotic arms for detailed movements, robotic surgery minimizes tissue trauma, reduces blood loss, and enables a faster return to daily activities. Other innovative techniques include Aquablation, which utilizes high-velocity water jets to precisely remove prostate tissue in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Aquablation provides symptom relief with fewer side effects than traditional BPH treatments and is highly effective for large prostates.
