  • Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University ranks among the top cancer programs in the nation. Our urologic cancer care teams integrate groundbreaking research into prevention and treatments. These urologic cancers include:

    • Bladder cancer
    • Kidney cancer
    • Prostate cancer
    • Testicular cancer
  • We work with patients to diagnose and treat all types of bladder control problems. These include frequent urination, urgent urination, overactive bladder and neurogenic bladder. Urinary frequency and urgency may be signs of UTI, overactive bladder, prostate enlargement, or other urologic conditions.

  • Kidney stones are very common among patients of all ages, and while some do not cause any problems, others can cause significant pain and body-wide symptoms. Our kidney stone experts and stone disease experts offer the latest treatment technologies to diagnose, manage and care for kidney stones. We offer a range of minimally invasive kidney stone treatments that can manage stones of all sizes and shapes.
  • Urologic conditions can often be cured with surgical treatments. Some treatments require open, major surgeries, but technological advances have allowed more minimally invasive surgeries to be done. Robotic and laparoscopic surgeries can result in smaller incisions and less pain, resulting in shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times. Our fellowship-trained urological surgery specialists may recommend a minimally invasive urology treatment for kidney stones, infections and some urologic cancers.

  • Emory Healthcare Urology Care Services offers expert evaluation and treatments for the unique urology issues faced by men.

    These include:
  • Women have their own unique urological health concerns. We provide care for all female urinary tract conditions, including:

eCoin Treatment

As a low-risk treatment, eCoin can offer symptom relief for many patients with overactive bladder and urge incontinence. For people who tried medications but didn’t get relief or had bothersome side effects, eCoin may be a good alternative. A urologist places the eCoin implant—about the size of a nickel—right under the skin at the ankle. Here, the device can stimulate the tibial nerve, which helps with bladder control. Patients stay awake during the procedure, receive local anesthesia to numb the ankle area, and go home the same day with minimal pain.

Emory Urology is the first in Georgia to offer HoLEP for men with urinary issues due to prostate enlargement. It can help improve symptoms resistant to other treatments, such as: A slow or intermittent urinary stream. Difficulty starting urination. Incomplete emptying of the bladder.

PCNL (percutaneous nephrostolithotomy) involves treating kidney stones in the kidney by making a one-inch incision in the back and creating a tunnel through the kidney to the stone.
