Primary Care
If you’re on an HMO/POS plan, please make sure you bring the referral from your primary care physician.
Family Practice
Emergency Care
The TURP procedure is effective for only small to moderate sized prostate glands (0-60 grams) with results varying with surgeon experience and involvement. It may also lead to significant complications including hyponatremia (low sodium), significant bleeding, prolonged hospitalization, risk of urinary incontinence, higher risk of returning to the hospital or emergency room, or higher risk of postoperative urinary retention. The HoLEP in comparison effectively treats prostates of all sizes with fewer complications.
Erectile Dysfunction
Urinary Incontinence
® is a prescription medicine that is injected into the bladder muscle and used to treat Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms, including a strong need to urinate with leaking or wetting accidents (urge urinary incontinence), a strong need to urinate right away (urgency), and urinating often (frequency).
Immunizations
Texas Oncology agrees with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that certain immunocompromised people, including all cancer patients undergoing active treatment, get a vaccine and booster shot. The booster can be Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Janssen Johnson & Johnson, regardless of the previous vaccine you received. The dosing interval for a different booster is the same as what is authorized for a booster dose used for the primary vaccination (either two months or six months, depending on which primary vaccine was received).

Ophthalmologists

Cataracts
Alpha blockers work immediately. Side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, and difficulty ejaculating. This treatment may be suitable for men with moderate to severe BPH. However, men about to have cataract surgery should avoid this option.

Bladder Cancer
The wall of the bladder is lined with several layers of cells called transitional cells. Cancer arising from these cells makes up more than 90% of all bladder cancers and these are referred to as transitional cell carcinomas. Because transitional cell carcinomas are the most common type of bladder cancer, the information in this section only addresses treatment of transitional cell cancer of the bladder.
Urology
Texas Urology Specialists is a team of board-certified physicians and providers providing expert urologic care throughout Texas. Each of our providers is versed in the latest treatments and urologic technology, and we make your comfort and confidentiality top priority.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney Stones
Although our group can treat virtually any urologic condition, some of the more common disorders include impotence or erectile dysfunction; incontinence or loss of bladder control; kidney stones and other diseases of the kidney; infertility; and prostate diseases (both benign and malignant).
Testicular Cancer
The testicles are responsible for producing sperm and the male hormone testosterone. There are certain risk factors for the development of testicular cancer. Caucasian men have a higher incidence than other ethnic groups. Men with a history of an undescended testicle (usually located in the groin or abdomen) which is not brought back into the scrotum in childhood are at increased risk of cancer and need to be followed carefully even after the testicle is placed into the scrotum.
Urinary Tract Infection
On the day of your first appointment your urologist will perform a test to confirm you do not have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Patients have the option for anesthesia — either no anesthesia, local, regional or general.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men with an estimated annual incidence of 300,000 new cases and over 40,000 deaths each year. As men age, the risk of prostate cancer increases. Approximately 5 in 10 men will develop prostate cancer by the age of 85. The average age of men with prostate cancer is about 70 years of age.
Cancer Care
Texas Oncology announced today the opening of a 10,000-square-foot cancer care facility in Midlothian that will provide medical oncology, hematology, surgical oncology, and urology services, all in one location.

Multiple Sclerosis
Causes of female incontinence include a “fallen” bladder (stress incontinence), bladder instability (the frequency-urgency syndrome) and neurologic causes such as strokes or multiple sclerosis. Men may experience urinary incontinence for the preceding reasons but may also experience leakage following surgery of the prostate or after treatment for prostate cancer.

Ultrasound
The original lithotripsy machines were commonly referred to as “stone baths” because the patient was placed on a supportive frame called a gantry and partially immersed in a tub of water which had been deionized to eliminate air bubbles. The gantry was positioned such that the patient’s stone was within the crosshairs of an aiming system (at the so-called F2 focal point) and electromechanical shock waves generated under water at the F1 point by a spark gap generator traveled through the body to fragment the stone. Ultrasound or fluoroscopy is utilized during the treatment to monitor the fragmentation process. Once the stone or stones have been fragmented, the particles flush through the urinary tract and are eliminated.
MRI
Fusion guided prostate biopsy, which combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ultrasound, is a highly effective method for targeted biopsy of the prostate. Also known as a targeted MR/ultrasound biopsy, it provides a biopsy option for patients with continued elevated or rising PSA levels.
Radiology
Your actual diagnostic films and related reports including x-ray, CT, or other tests ordered by your physician(s). These films and reports can be obtained from the radiology department at the facility where your tests were taken.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The goal of radiation is to deliver the highest dose possible to the cancer while minimizing the dose to the normal tissue. The first step in this process is CT simulation. The patient undergoes a special type of CT scan. At this time, the patient is positioned a particular way and 3 dimensional anatomical data is obtained. The radiation oncologist then identifies the areas to be treated and those to be avoided. This information is then used to create a treatment plan.
Chemotherapy
Hormones are naturally occurring substances in the body that stimulate the growth of hormone sensitive tissues, such as the prostate gland. When cancer arises in prostate tissue, its growth and spread may be caused by the body’s own hormones. Therefore, drugs that block hormone production or change the way hormones work, and/or removal of organs that secrete hormones, such as the testicles, are ways of fighting cancer. Hormone therapy, similar to chemotherapy, is a systemic treatment in that it may affect cancer cells throughout the body.
Radiation Therapy
® hydrogel is not painful, remains stable during radiation therapy and then is gradually absorbed by the body after radiation therapy has been completed.
Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology is the sub specialty of cancer treatment where radiation is used to treat patients. The physician is the radiation oncologist who is supported by many highly trained staff. That entire team cares for the patient. High energy radiation is used to kill malignant cells and thus treat the cancer. Great care must be taken in delivering radiation treatment.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Urology medicine is traditionally an innovative, early adopter of advances in medical and surgical treatments. One of the biggest advancements in “minimally invasive surgery” is the introduction of robotic assistance in laparoscopic surgery.
Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a form of permanent male sterilization. The procedure involves dividing the vas deferens in order to interrupt the flow of sperm out of the testicles. It is the most common form of male sterilization, with more than 500,000 procedures performed per year in this country. The testicles also make the male hormone testosterone, which is not affected by this procedure. Also, since the testicles produce only 5-10 percent of the ejaculate volume, the semen volume will appear the same.
Robotic Surgery
Despite its name, robotic surgery is not automated with the push of a button. The surgeon is in control of all surgical movement and technique. The surgeon sits at a nearby console and controls the robotic system to perform the delicate surgery. The da Vinci
Otolaryngology
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a surgical technique involving the placement of instruments and telescopes into the abdominal cavity. Although many surgical procedures are routinely performed through the laparoscope (gall bladder removal and gynecologic procedures, for example), we have only recently begun to appreciate the full potential of this technique for surgery of the urinary tract.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
After using anesthesia to numb your bladder, your urologist will make small injections in the bladder wall, where the bladder muscle is located. Your urologist can do this either in the hospital or in their office. A Bladder BOTOX
Laparoscopic Surgery
One of the most exciting developments in laparoscopic surgery is the advent of laparoscopic kidney surgery. A number of benign conditions such as congenital obstruction, kidney cysts and stones, and small malignant tumors lend themselves to a laparoscopic approach. Again, the primary advantage is a quicker return to full activity levels compared to open surgical approaches.

Skin Cancer
Texas Urology Specialists offers leading-edge screening and diagnostic tools for prostate cancer, the most common form of cancer other than skin cancer among men in the United States and the third leading cause of cancer deaths among men.
Cyst
Lesions
Condylomas are the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD). They are small lesions or "warts" which occur in the genital, oral and anal regions in sexually active individuals. They are caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV). They are much more common than gonorrhea, chlamydia or syphilis.
