• Cryo Freeze
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cancer among American men. Cryo freezing offers men with prostate cancer a treatment alternative to traditional prostate surgery.

With cryo freezing, surgeons destroy cancerous cells by freezing them rather than surgically removing them. Performed through the skin using a needle, this is a minimally invasive
treatment option.

Cryo freeze is best suited for those whose cancer is confined to the prostate itself. It’s often also a good choice for those who have received radiation therapy or who develop recurrent cancer confined to the prostate.

• Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy is a test that enables physicians to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra to help diagnose and treat a wide variety of urinary conditions from kidney stones to urinary
tract infections.

Through a small device called a cystoscope, physicians can examine areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. The device’s camera can show physicians images of your urinary tract. Miniature surgical instruments enable physicians to take small tissue samples, remove small bladder stones and relieve some small blockages.

• Lithotripsy
Lithotripsy uses sound waves to break up stones in the kidney, bladder or ureter. After the procedure, the tiny pieces of stones pass out of your body in your urine.

Lithotripsy is an alternative to surgery to help remove stones that can cause pain, bleeding, infection and further damage to your kidney, bladder or urinary tract.

• Urogynecology
Urogynecology services help women who suffer from pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence and prolapse (bulging or falling) of the vagina, bladder and uterus.

Through surgical and non-surgical treatments, physicians help women better live with, and often overcome, these conditions.

• Urodynamics Testing
We’re proud to be the only hospital in our area to provide urodynamics testing, an advanced evaluation of bladder function and pelvic floor strength.

By measuring the pressures in the bladder and urethra, urodynamics can help determine the cause of conditions such as incontinence, frequent urination, sudden urges to urinate, problems starting a urine stream, painful urination, problems completely emptying your bladder and recurrent urinary
tract infections.

Meadows Regional is a Joint Commission accredited hospital.
