USC urologists are world leaders in laparoscopic and robotic surgery for kidney cancer. With more experience than any other team in the world (over 3000 cases), USC urologists have pioneered and continue to define the field of minimally invasive surgery for kidney cancer, with special expertise in kidney-saving surgery.
For the past three decades, USC urologists have been recognized pioneers and established leaders in major surgery for bladder cancer. Many breakthroughs for bladder cancer treatment have been developed at USC. With more than 2,500 cases, our experience in radical cystectomy and continent diversion is amongst the largest in the world.
Our urologists have performed more than 5,000 prostate cancer surgery cases, which places USC amongst the nation’s most experienced programs. Our team is one of very few in the country which provide comprehensive treatment options for prostate cancer, including the latest robotic and laparoscopic techniques, as well as traditional open surgery, radiation therapy, seed implants, and cryotherapy.
Other distinctive services offered at the USC Institute of Urology include pediatric urology and stem cell therapies, female urology and incontinence surgery, genito-urinary reconstruction and prosthetics, “belly-button” kidney donor surgery for transplantation, and scar-free single-port laparoscopic surgery.
The Institute’s physicians are part of The Doctors of USC, a group of more than 500 physicians who are faculty members at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. They are among the nation’s leaders in innovative clinical care, research and education of future physicians.
