We are operating with 63 active bed, thousands of patient are treated here in every year, which makes our clinic one of the largest institute providing urological care in Hungary.
The clinic has two dedicated operating theatres for open/laparoscopic surgeries and for endoscopic procedures in the lower urinary tract, and a further special workplace with fluoroscopy for the endourologic surgeries of the upper urinary tract. Our clinic has an outstanding technical equipment: modern endoscopes for the lower- and upper urinary tract, 3D HD laparoscopic endoscope, surgical lasers, fluoroscope, special intraoperative ultrasound probe for laparoscopic surgeries, portable gamma camera for sentinel lymph node imaging and a modern operating microscope for microsurgical procedures. Furthermore, a brand new, modern X-ray device was handed over in 2020. Approximately 4000 operations are performed in our institute, and this number is still growing year by year along with the growing number of patients.

Urological, uro-oncological and andrological patient care is taking place in 5 offices at our outpatient clinic, almost 20.000 patient a year is admitted here. We are providing 0-24 urological duty service for the patients in the region arriving with acute complaints.
Our clinic is one of the first-rated centers of renal surgery in Hungary, our colleagues were pioneers in the establishment of the organ-sparing, minimal invasive technique in this field. Till the recent days, this type of surgery is performed by us in the highest number in the country.
The complex treatment of patients with testicular cancer was organised here, in Pécs in the ’80s for the first time in Hungary. These days our clinic still has a leading role in the field. Many patients with metastatic disease requiring surgery are sent to our institute for treatment from many other regions of Hungary. In the majority of the cases, we are performing these kind of operations with minimal invasive technique.
The institute has a leading role in the radical pelvic surgery of bladder cancer in Hungary. For the first time in the country also, in the preparation and postoperative care of these cases the ERAS protocoll was introduced in the recent years providing faster recovery.
Our clinic is a national centre for the treatment of penile cancer. The majority of the cases requiring higher level care is treated by us.
The armamentarium for all type of upper urinary tract endoscopy is available here, in Pécs for the treatment of patients suffering from renal stone disease: modern lithotripters using laser, ultrasound and pneumatic energy, semirigid and flexible ureterorenoscope, and normal/”mini”-sized nephroscopes are used for the procedures. We perform a high volume of endourological procedures (URS, PCNL, RIRS) with experience of decades in the field. In special situations, with appropriate indication the organ-sparing laser ablation of upper urinary tract urothelial cancer is possible as well.
We have an andrological ambulance with a modern laboratory, a collection and an examining room for the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic apporach of male infertility. With a modern operating microscope, our surgical profile consists of surgical sperm retrieval (micro-TESE, MESA), varicocele ligation and - with strict criteria and appropriate indication – testicular tumor microresection.
The comprehensive evaluation and a wide range of therapeutic options of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and chronic pelvic pain syndrome are available in the institute. In 2019 a new rehabilitation unit was established, which is operating with a well-trained physiotherapist, where the first line therapy of pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence is taking place. In complicated cases or if surgical therapy is required urodynamic studies are performed by our colleagues for the most comprehensive diagnostics. We are providing surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence (transvaginal and laparoscopic reconstruction of prolapse, implantation of tension-free vaginal tapes and artificial urinary sphincter, botulinum toxin injection of detrusor muscle, applications of neuromodulation techniques).
In our clinic we are performing urethroplasty with long-term experience for the treatment of complicated urethral strictures, even with the use of buccal mucosal flap provided through our regular cooperation with otolaryngologists.
