PRESS RELEASE
At El Greco Medical Centre, diagnostic tests and treatments are provided for a wide range of urological conditions, including diseases of the prostate, bladder, kidneys, and genital organs.
Advanced Prostate Biopsy Systems
The Head of the Urology Department, Associate Professor Dr. Marios Hadjipavlou, notes that El Greco Medical Centre offers state-of-the-art diagnostic services for patients with elevated PSA levels. Specifically, MRI-guided transperineal prostate biopsies are performed under a quick general anaesthetic, allowing for precise targeting of suspicious lesions, while eliminating the risk of infection and discomfort associated with the traditional transrectal approach.
Evolutionary Laser Treatment for Benign Prostate Enlargement
Dr. Hadjipavlou introduced to Cyprus the HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) technique for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Using the latest Lumenis Boston Scientific 100W Moses Laser, over 100 cases have now been performed very successfully at El Greco Medical Centre. This method stands out because it:
- Precisely removes the obstructive portion of the prostate using a laser beam.
- Is minimally invasive, with no external incisions, and fully preserves erectile function.
- Is suitable for prostates of any size, even in complex cases of severe enlargement.
- Improves urinary symptoms such as weak stream, incomplete bladder emptying, frequency, and nocturia.
High-End Laser Kidney Stone Surgery
The department specializes in the management of kidney and ureteric stones using the innovative Rocamed 60W Thulium Fibre Laser (TFL) technology. This technique enables rapid and effective stone fragmentation of any size through ultra-thin flexible ureteroscopes. Most procedures are performed as day surgery, allowing the patient to go home the same day with minimal discomfort.
Comprehensive Treatments for Cancer and Male Conditions
Dr. Hadjipavlou also emphasizes that the department provides treatment for:
- Cancers of the kidney and urinary bladder
- Male genital conditions such as varicocele repair, hydrocele repair, circumcision, and other specialized surgical procedures.
EL Greco Medical Centre continues to provide high-quality services, utilizing the most modern methods and technologies in the field of urology.
