CONDITIONS

VASECTOMY

Many individuals choose to proceed with a vasectomy- a short procedure the provides reliable and permanent birth control. The procedure is typically done with local freezing and takes 10-15 minutes. Recovery is improved with supportive underwear and ice packs after the procedure.

Circumcision

Circumcision is the removal of foreskin for medical, cosmetic or religious reasons. The procedure is preformed either with local anesthesia or under a general anesthetic as day surgery depending on patient preference. Absorbable, dissolving sutures are used. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and patients are encouraged to take a few days off work to recover.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

There are many reasons why individuals may have trouble achieving or maintaining an erection. No matter the cause there are treatment options available including oral medications, injections, minimally invasive shockwave treatment or surgery with penile implants.

PEYRONIE’S DISEASE

Peyronie’s disease is characterized as a penile deformity secondary to plaque formation within the penis. Treatment may include oral therapies, injections (verapamil or Xiaflex) or surgery depending on a patient’s goals and the unique nature of their deformity.

PENOSCROTAL SURGERY

There are abnormalities of the penis and scrotum that may cause undesired aesthetic or functional consequences. Many of these abnormalities are amenable to surgical correction. These procedures may include repair of a tight frenulum and the removal of genital lumps and bumps.
