Activation of the telemedicine service to prevent patients from accessing the hospital only for examination control, and initiation of the prostate biopsy service with fusion technique, but not only.
The future challenges of the urological activity of the Most Holy Trinity of Sora directed by Dr. Salvatore Mario Prata also include the use of lasers for the treatment of bladder calculus and bipolar energy for interventions of prostatic hypertrophy and bladder neoplasia for a cutting-edge department.
Dr. Prata, howis the center’s outpatient activity characterized?
The urological activity is carried out within the General Surgery of the Santissima Trinità hospital in Sora with dedicated beds and we are able to offer both surgical treatments and specialist visits.
The surgical activity mainly involves the treatment of bladder neoplasms and endoscopic prostatic hypertrophy in addition to the pathology of the male genital apparatus (hydrocele, varicocele, phimosis) for a total of about 250 interventions per year.
The urological surgery includes both urological and andrological specialist visits, cystoscopies and prostate biopsies as well as consultations for the other departments and for the Emergency Department for a total, in the pre-Covid era, of almost 5,000 services per year.
This activity has been compulsorily reduced in the last two years, however, amounting to 2,500 annual benefits.
What is the important news of recent times?
In collaboration with Radiology, the multiparametric prostate resonance service for the diagnosis of prostate cancers has been activated for two months as a day hospital, considering that a high number of these neoplasms are identified annually.
Endovescal instillations of chemotherapy and immunostimulants are carried out to control bladder neoplasms and to prevent or at least reduce their recurrence rate.
We are ready to meet the challenges for the near future with which we will be able to offer citizens more services.
