- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate
- Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
- Kidney stones, including staghorn stones
- Overactive bladder (OAB)

Advanced Urological Treatment Options for Enhanced Patient Care
CHRISTUS Health offers specialized therapies to address specific urologic conditions with the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques. These therapies include:
- Neuromodulation for OAB: For patients experiencing overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, Axonics therapy provides advanced neuromodulation to help restore control over bladder function. This minimally invasive approach delivers long-term relief from overactive bladder and offers an alternative for patients who have not found success with other treatments.
- Minimally invasive procedures for BPH: The UroLift System is designed to relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH). By gently lifting and holding prostate tissue away from the urethra, UroLift restores normal urinary flow without cutting or removing tissue, allowing for quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
- Aquablation therapy for BPH: Aquablation Therapy by PROCEPT BioRobotics uses high-precision, water-based therapy to treat BPH by removing excess prostate tissue with controlled water jets. This advanced technology provides an effective solution for patients with larger prostates, minimizing side effects and supporting a faster recovery.
