Urology Programs & Services in New Jersey
Hackensack University Medical Center has been ranked the best Urology Program in New Jersey for eleven years in a row by U.S. News & World Report and ranked in the Top 20 nationally. We specialize in a range of urologic disciplines including urologic oncology, infertility, stone disease, sexual dysfunction, female urology and pediatric urology. Our surgeons pioneered the development of some of this specialty’s most successful procedures, including robotic partial nephrectomy, robotic prostatectomy and complex robotic urinary reconstruction
Leaders in Single Port Robotic Surgery
Hackensack University Medical Center was among the first hospitals in the world — and the first in New Jersey — to use the fourth-generation da Vinci SP® single-port robotic surgery system for urologic surgeries. The SP platform provides for a new approach to single-site laparoscopic or robotic techniques and offers a minimally invasive approach for major robotic urological operations. The da Vinci SP surgical system provides surgeons with a magnified view of the surgical area as well as a greater range of motion thanks to the advanced robotics involved. The surgeon’s hand motions are translated in real time and guided through a console, making it possible for operations to occur through a single 1-inch wide incision.
Robotic and Minimally Invasive Urology Surgery
Hackensack Meridian Health is a leader in providing robotic and minimally invasive surgery for urology. Across the network, we have eight dedicated robotic surgical systems, including the Da Vinci SP® single-port robot, which provides surgeons with a magnified view of the surgical area and a greater range of motion.
Each year, we perform more than 1,000 advanced urologic robotic surgery procedures, making us one of the most experienced hospital systems in the country. All bladder cancer surgeries can be performed robotically, and nearly all kidney cancer surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive techniques.
