The Division of Urology provides superior care to patients requiring medical and surgical urology services. Patients can receive treatment for disorders such as malignancy of the urinary tract, kidney stones, prostate cancer, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. These conditions are treated on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on the nature of the problem. There is an attending urologist on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for consultation and emergencies.
