Diseases it treats

Prostate Cancer

It is the most common cancer in men, and it is curable if detected early. It is important to see a urologist annually starting at age 50 for early detection, and at age 40 if there is a family history.

Techniques in which he specializes

Image fusion prostate biopsy

It is a technique that combines 3-tesla magnetic resonance imaging with ultrasound. This fusion increases the biopsy yield, improving and refining tumor diagnosis.

ExactVU™ micro-ultrasound guided prostate biopsy

High-detail prostate ultrasound with micro-ultrasound allows obtaining images with a resolution 300 times greater than conventional ultrasound, and visualizing areas suspicious for cancer in the prostate, to guide biopsies with great precision.

Robotic surgery

The Da Vinci Robot allows surgery through small holes in the abdominal wall, increasing the surgeon's precision and ability to perform procedures with great delicacy.
