Touro offers some of the most advanced prostate treatment and diagnostic
options available in the region.
Our urology team specializes in minimally invasive technologies designed
to improve outcomes, reduce recovery time, and provide safer, more precise care.
Safer prostate biopsy with the transperineal approach
Touro's urologists perform transperineal prostate biopsy, an advanced approach
to prostate cancer detection designed to reduce infection risk and improve accuracy.
Unlike traditional biopsy methods, the transperineal approach avoids passing
through the rectum, significantly lowering the risk of infection while
allowing for improved access to the prostate.
Benefits may include:
Lower infection risk
No routine antibiotics required
Improved cancer detection rates
More precise prostate sampling

Aquablation® Therapy for enlarged prostate (BPH)
Touro was the first hospital in Louisiana to offer Aquablation® therapy,
an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.
Using robotic waterjet technology, Aquablation therapy precisely removes
problematic prostate tissue while helping preserve sexual function and
continence.
BPH symptoms may include:
Frequent urination
Difficulty emptying the bladder
Urgency to urinate
Waking frequently at night to urinate
Without treatment, BPH can lead to bladder damage, kidney problems, and
other complications.
Touro offers advanced surgical technologies designed to support more precise
treatment and recovery.
Da Vinci robotic surgery
The Da Vinci Surgical System allows specially trained surgeons to perform
minimally invasive urologic procedures using enhanced precision and smaller
incisions.
Touro offers NanoKnife technology for suitable prostate cancer patients.
This minimally invasive treatment targets cancer cells while helping preserve
surrounding healthy tissue.
Touro is home to the only NanoKnife technology of its kind in the Guld
South region.
Sonablate HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a minimally invasive,
radiation-free treatment option for certain prostate conditions and some
non-metastatic prostate cancers.
Urology focuses on conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive
system, including the kidneys, bladder, and prostate.
