Department of Urology

Department of Urology

The independent Department of Urology in Nitra was established in 1950 by separation from the Surgical Ward. Since then, it has gradually become and to this day remains one of the leading urology departments in Slovakia.

It is located on the ground floor and 1st floor of the Gynecology-Urology Pavilion (GUP).
The outpatient section and the Head Physician’s office are on the ground floor; the inpatient section (23 beds + 2 beds in premium rooms), the Head Nurse’s office, and operating theatres are on the 1st floor.

Hospitalizations and spectrum of diseases

Each year we hospitalize approx. 1,500 patients, most of whom undergo surgical treatment.

In the inpatient section, we diagnose and treat diseases of the urogenital tract. In particular, these include:

• UGT tumors

• urinary stones

• inflammatory diseases

• urinary outflow disorders

• prostate diseases

• congenital anomalies

• urinary continence disorders

• diseases of the external genitalia in men

In addition, we also deal with surgery of the adrenal glands, retroperitoneum, and small pelvis.

We have extensive experience especially in:

• treatment of tumors of the urogenital tract

• treatment of urinary stones

• we also focus on urinary outflow disorders

• urinary diversions of all kinds

• reconstructive surgeries

• urinary incontinence

We also have a long tradition in pediatric urology, where we also provide comprehensive care (especially surgical).

An important role in our work is played by interdisciplinary cooperation, especially with gynecologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, oncologists, and internists. Alongside our own expertise, this is what enables us to successfully manage even the most complicated conditions.

Day surgery

Within day surgery, we provide all included procedures.

Surgical treatment

However, in addition to diagnostics and conservative treatment, we predominantly focus on surgical treatment of urological diseases.

We operate:

• using classic open surgery methods

• using endourological methods via the urethra or percutaneously by puncture

• we perform minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques

Scope of procedures

At our ward, we perform all operations and procedures that fall within the field of urology—except kidney transplants and certain rare procedures (e.g., transsexualism, etc.).

That is, we perform all types of operations:

• from the simplest
• to the most demanding (e.g., removal of the urinary bladder with creation of a replacement bladder from the intestine, ureteral replacements, radical prostate surgery for prostate cancer, etc.)

We also perform sterilization operations in men as ordered by the Ministry of Health.

The range of our surgeries includes more than 200 types of operations.
