Some issues Dr. Robert Barling Lurvey, MD can help you with:

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Enlarged Prostate)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged. BPH affects about half of men between the ages of 50 and 60, and approximately 80% of men over 80. As the prostate grows in size, it can press down on the tube where urine flows out of the body (the urethra) and cause urinary problems.

Medication can relieve mild to moderate symptoms of BPH, such as frequent urination, incomplete bladder emptying, a weak urine stream, and straining while urinating. However, other forms of treatment may be more appropriate if an individual has pain with urination, frequent urinary tract infections, or is unable to urinate. The size of the prostate and the severity of their symptoms will determine the type of treatment they need. If the prostate is not very large, doctors will likely recommend a transurethral procedure. This minimally invasive technique involves the insertion of a scope into the urethra. The most common transurethral procedures for BPH are:

Transurethral incision of the prostate or TUIP, where the surgeon uses the scope to make small cuts in the area of the prostate that meets the bladder. These cuts will open up the pathway for urine and allow it to flow with more ease.
Transurethral needle ablation or TUNA, where needles are inserted through the scope and into the prostate. The needles use radiofrequency waves to destroy excess prostate tissue.
Laser prostate ablation, where lasers pass through the scope to melt away the part of the prostate causing urine blockage.
Transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP, where the inside of the prostate is trimmed and removed one tiny piece at a time using the scope.

If the prostate is too big for a transurethral procedure, an individual may need a simple prostatectomy, which can be done in one of three ways: laparoscopic, robotic, or open. During a laparoscopic simple prostatectomy, a surgeon makes several small incisions on the belly. Then they insert a long tube with a camera into one of the cuts and surgical instruments into the others. Using the camera to see inside the belly, they carefully removes the enlarged part of the prostate. Robotic simple prostatectomy uses the same techniques as the laparoscopic method, but the surgery is done with the help of a robot. For men with very large prostates, open simple prostatectomy may be the best treatment option. This surgery differs from the other approaches in that it requires a much larger incision.

Most transurethral treatments for BPH, like TUIP, TUNA, and laser prostate ablation, are done in the doctor's office or outpatient surgery center. TURP and simple prostatectomy, however, need to be performed in the hospital and require an average stay of one to three days. Patients should wait a week before doing any strenuous activities after a TUIP, TUNA, or laser prostate ablation, and about four to six weeks after a TURP or simple prostatectomy. Although these treatments improve BPH symptoms for most patients, it is important to be aware of the risks involved, such as urine control issues, tightening of the urethra, and erectile dysfunction.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys, made up of minerals that are normally present in urine. They can vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a nickel, occasionally even larger. Sometimes they lodge in the kidney, and sometimes they break free and make their way out through the urinary tract, which can be extremely painful.

Kidney stones can be smooth or jagged and are yellow to brown in color. They are mostly comprised of the minerals calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus. Examining the stones to see what they are made of can show what caused the stone to be formed in the first place. For example, a stone made of mostly calcium, which is the most common type, can happen any time the urine becomes too concentrated due to dehydration or a blockage in the kidney. A uric acid stone forms when acid levels in the urine get too high, usually due to excessive consumption of animal protein such as meat and fish. A struvite stone is a sign of certain infections, and a cystine stone can be due to a genetic disorder that raises the risk of kidney stones.

The most common symptom of kidney stones is pain, either in the back or lower abdomen, or severe pain when urinating. There may also be blood in the urine. Treatment for kidney stones depends on how large the stone is. Very small stones can pass out of the body on their own, and they do not require treatment other than drinking adequate water and taking pain killers. Larger stones need to be broken apart and removed. The main treatment options are:

Shock wave lithotripsy, which uses sound wave vibrations to break apart the stone
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or the use of a very tiny tool (like a wire inserted through the back) to break apart and remove the stone
Ureteroscopy, a thin tube inserted through the urethra and bladder to the stone, where tiny tools can grasp the stone and remove

People who have had one kidney stone are at risk of developing another. To reduce this risk, patients are given instructions specific to the type of stone they developed. Generally the instructions will include drinking more water to dilute the urine, but it may also involve lowering sodium intake or eating less meat.

Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS)

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS), also called sacral neuromodulation, is a treatment for bladder and bowel problems. Using thin, insulated wires (electrodes) and a device called a neurostimulator, sacral nerve stimulation can deliver electrical signals to correct communication issues between the brain and the bladder. The electrical signals reach the sacral nerve, which is responsible for muscles that control the bladder and rectal sphincter. By targeting this nerve, sacral nerve stimulation can influence the activity of pelvic muscles to treat overactive bladder, fecal (bowel) incontinence, and chronic constipation. When diet or lifestyle changes, medication, and other conservative options fail to work, neurostimulation is an option.

SNS surgery has two parts. The first part is an evaluation phase, during which it is determined if neurostimulation is effective treatment option for patients. Patients lie on their stomachs while a temporary electrode lead, through which electrical signals will travel, is inserted into their lower back. A permanent lead may also be used, and it would remain in place should the trial period prove successful. The lead is connected to an external neurostimulator. The procedure takes approximately one hour and may be performed in a doctor's office, hospital, or surgical center. After the procedure, patients are required to keep a log of their toilet habits over approximately two weeks, and they may need to limit their activities during this time. If patients' symptoms do not improve after the trial, they may repeat the test phase or discuss other treatment options with their doctors.

If the trial stimulator is effective, patients will undergo the second phase of SNS surgery, which is permanent implantation. In the second stage of surgery, the temporary lead (if used) will be replaced with a permanent lead. Then the sacral nerve stimulator will be implanted subcutaneously (under the skin) in the upper buttock. Patients should be able to return home the day of their procedure.

If patients are sore after surgery, their doctors may give them medication. The sacral nerve stimulator will be programmed after the procedure, and when it is turned on, patients should feel a sensation similar to pulling, tapping, tingling, or pulsing. Patients will need to work with their doctors during follow-up appointments to determine the most effective settings for the stimulator. Patients will be given instructions on how to adjust it themselves at home. The stimulator is powered by a battery that will last approximately five years, after which it can be replaced.

I have severe left side pain. My primary doctor sent me here after performing a urinalysis and found blood. She sent me in for a cat scan and ultrasound. Both saw kidney stones. She sent me here. When I came here, I was treated rudely by the assistant who hardly talked to me and in a very curt manner, she even left the arm cuff for my blood pressure on my arm when she left the room without saying a word. The doctor came in and did he looked at everything and told me I didn’t have kidney stones and there is nothing he can do to help me. 
Well I ended up in the E.R. yesterday and was told I have a urinary tract infection and kidney stones on both sides. After a shot of morphine I started to feel the pain decrease. I am on antibiotics now and will follow up with my doctor. I hope you read this before making a decision on a urologist. This guy is the worst!!
