Male infertility
Investigation and treatment of infertile couples, especially the male component. Interpretation and investigation of changes in spermograms. Sperm extraction techniques for assisted reproduction. Vasectomy reversal.
Kidney stone
Surgical or endoscopic treatment of renal and ureteral calculi; metabolic investigation with the aim of understanding and treating predisposing conditions and preventing the formation of new calculi and new pain events.
Uro-oncology
Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neoplasms (tumors) of the kidneys, prostate, bladder, adrenal/suprarenal gland, testicles, penis, retroperitoneum. I have additional training in uro-oncology at Hospital Felício Rocho in partnership with the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Belo Horizonte.
Robotic surgery
Platform that has been widely used in the treatment of mainly urological tumors in several centers around the world. In the United States, 95% of prostate removal surgeries for prostate tumors are performed robotically.
I also have additional training (Fellowship - 2890-hour lato sensu postgraduate degree) in robotic surgery. I took a robotic surgery proficiency exam from Intuitive Surgical in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
I also completed shorter training courses in robotic surgery in Paris and Bordeaux, France, and in Orlando, USA. Click here to learn more about robotic surgery!
Elderly men's health
General health assessment of experienced men, focusing on disease prevention and quality of life at this important stage. General health check-up, prevention of some important tumors, such as those of the intestine, prostate and kidneys. Assessment of urinary difficulties in men.
Uro-pediatrics
Treatment of urological diseases in babies and children, such as cryptorchidism (testicles outside the pouch), phimosis, hydronephrosis, UPJ stenosis, nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).
Urinary incontinence and urogynecology
Stress incontinence (women who leak urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting weights, walking), pelvic organ prolapses (dropped bladder, dropped vagina), perineoplasty surgery.
Sexual disorders
Erectile dysfunction, sexual hypoactivity disorders (reduced libido), premature ejaculation, fetish, couples counseling.
Erectile dysfunction
Addressing the various causes of erectile dysfunction, from those most related to emotional issues to those more organic, with various treatments including guidance, medications and even surgeries.
Sexually transmitted infections
Evaluation, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis, HIV/AIDS, genital herpes, genital ulcers, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum.
Hernias
Surgery for inguinal and umbilical hernia.
Testicular pain
Assessment of testicular pain, epididymitis, testicular torsion.
Andrology
Hormonal assessment of elderly men, testosterone deficiency and replacement. Peyronie's disease.
Urethra
Treatment of urethral strictures.
Recurrent urinary tract infection
Research and treatment to reduce recurrent urinary infections.
Urodynamic study/evaluation
Examination performed to understand the functioning of the patient's bladder and urination, to plan and monitor treatments for urinary difficulties or incontinence. Assessment of people with urine loss on their clothes, people with a very weak urine stream and those with neurogenic bladder.
Vasectomy
Outpatient surgical procedure to prevent pregnancy. The procedure takes a few minutes and the patient usually goes home shortly afterward. But remember, having this procedure is an important decision because the procedure is permanent!
Vasectomy reversal
Microsurgical procedure performed under a microscope to reverse a previously performed vasectomy with the aim of achieving a new natural pregnancy. It is a delicate and highly specialized procedure that requires very special training for the surgeon to be able to perform it. The postoperative period is almost painless, with the patient going home on the same day of the surgery or one day after.
Phimosis and postectomy
Phimosis is characterized by the inability of the skin covering the glans penis to retract, which can cause infections, difficulty urinating and even lead to penile cancer. Some cases can be treated with ointments and creams, while others are treated with postectomy or circumcision surgery.
Prostate cancer
It is the most common cancer in men worldwide (second only to skin tumors). Medicine evolves every year in the treatment of this disease and today we have several treatment options.
