Urology

Neurourology is a specialised field of Urology focusing on the diagnosis and management of urinary tract disorders in patients with neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders. These patients require specialised assessment and individualised management, as urological complications associated with neurological conditions may not always present with obvious symptoms. If left undiagnosed or inadequately treated, however, they can lead to serious complications and, in some cases, may even become life-threatening. Through appropriate evaluation, regular monitoring, and specialised treatment, Neurourology aims to protect urinary tract function, prevent complications, and improve patients’ quality of life.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common reasons for patients to seek medical attention, including presentation to the Accident & Emergency Department. Treatment may range from straightforward antibiotic therapy to more advanced interventional management in patients with complicated urinary tract infections. The most appropriate treatment approach is determined following a thorough clinical assessment and diagnostic evaluation, taking into consideration the patient’s overall condition, the severity of the infection, and any underlying or contributing factors. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to control the infection, prevent complications, and ensure the best possible clinical outcome for the patient.

Endourology is a specialised field of Urology focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant conditions affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, particularly those that may cause obstruction of the urinary tract. Common benign conditions include urinary stone disease (urolithiasis) and urinary tract strictures, while malignant conditions include various cancers of the urinary system. Following a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, the Urologists at Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient. Depending on the condition and individual clinical needs, treatment may be conservative or surgical. When surgery is required, a range of modern techniques may be considered, including endoscopic, laparoscopic, robotic, or open surgery, with the treatment approach tailored to achieve the best possible clinical outcome for each patient.

The Urologists at Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus have specialised expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Our specialists employ modern minimally invasive techniques, including robotic and laparoscopic surgery, with the aim of providing effective treatment while minimising surgical trauma and supporting faster recovery. Each patient is carefully assessed to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on her individual condition and clinical needs.

The Urologists at Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus provide specialised assessment and treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting male sexual and reproductive health, including erectile dysfunction, reduced sexual desire, and anatomical or functional disorders of the male external genitalia. In collaboration with other medical specialists, our Urologists also investigate and manage conditions related to male infertility. This includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as varicocele, as well as testicular biopsy and sperm retrieval procedures, when indicated, to support couples undergoing assisted reproductive treatments. The Department also offers vasectomy, a well-established and highly effective method of permanent male contraception. Patients considering this option receive appropriate medical assessment and counselling regarding the procedure, its permanent nature, expected outcomes, and available alternatives. Through an individualised and multidisciplinary approach, the Andrology service aims to provide comprehensive, confidential, and evidence-based care for men at every stage of their reproductive and sexual health journey.

Benign conditions of the prostate, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis, are common causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and are among the most frequent reasons for men to consult a Urologist. Benign prostatic hyperplasia becomes increasingly common with age, particularly in men over the age of 45, and may cause symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urinary stream, increased urinary frequency, urgency, and the need to urinate during the night.Following a thorough clinical assessment, the Urologist will determine the most appropriate treatment according to the patient’s symptoms, clinical findings, and individual needs. Treatment may include medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.Lower urinary tract symptoms may also be caused by urethral strictures, which can obstruct the normal flow of urine. In such cases, the Urologist will perform the appropriate diagnostic evaluation and recommend an individualised treatment plan aimed at restoring urinary function and improving the patient’s quality of life.

Urological Oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of patients with cancers affecting the urinary and male reproductive systems. These include: Prostate cancer, Bladder cancer, Kidney cancer, Testicular cancer. At Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, each patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment to establish an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment strategy, tailored to the type and stage of the disease and the patient’s individual clinical needs. Where appropriate, care is provided through a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together Urologists and other specialised healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated, personalised, and comprehensive cancer care.
