Endourology

Minimally Invasive Solutions for Complex Urologic Conditions

Endourology is a subspecialty of urology focused on minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract. With Dr. Horovitz's expertise in this field, patients can benefit from cutting-edge techniques that reduce recovery time, minimize discomfort, and effectively address complex urologic issues. Dr. Horovitz has extensive experience in using advanced endoscopic technologies to treat conditions such as kidney stones, ureteral obstructions, and tumors within the urinary tract.

What is Endourology?

Endourology involves the use of small, flexible instruments and cameras to access the urinary tract through natural openings, such as the urethra, without the need for external incisions. It is commonly used for:

• Kidney Stone Management: Endourologic procedures, such as ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy, allow Dr. Horovitz to precisely locate and break up kidney stones, often in a single outpatient visit.

• Ureteral Obstructions: Conditions like ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ) or strictures can be treated using minimally invasive techniques to restore normal urine flow.

• Tumor Removal: Small tumors within the bladder or upper urinary tract can be safely removed via endourologic procedures, minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue

Benefits of Endourology:

• No External Incisions: Procedures are performed through the urinary tract, eliminating the need for traditional open surgery.

• Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience less postoperative pain and a quicker return to normal activities.

• High Precision: Advanced imaging and laser technology allow for precise targeting of problematic areas within the urinary system.

• Outpatient Procedures: Many endourologic treatments can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day.
