Meta Description
The Murnaghan Urology Centre provides surgical and medical services to diagnose and treat those with urology problems.
Service Type

We provide a wide range of procedures to help you if you have:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs):

  • Urethritis - urethral infections
  • Cystitis - bladder infections
  • Pyelonephritis - kidney infections

Urinary tract blockages and retention:

  • Tumors in your pelvis
  • Stones - these can be in any part of your urinary tract and we treat with a high powered laser.
  • Narrowing of your urethra (tube that carries urine away from your bladder)
  • Trauma
  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia of the prostate - enlarged prostate in men

We also look at how your bladder is working through a procedure called Urodynamic Studies.

We can help you with the following services:

  • Cystoscopy - we examine your bladder and urethra using instruments that have an small camera. 
  • Ureteroscopy - to examine and/or to treat stones in your ureter, the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. We can also take a biopsy (small amount of tissue) to examine an area of concern in your ureter.
  • Pyeloscopy - treats stones in your kidney.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) - surgical procedure to remove large kidney stones.
  • Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) - this widens your urethra for better flow of urine.
  • Transurethral resection of Bladder tumor (TURBT) - is a procedure to remove tumor in your bladder.
  • Botox injection - to relax you bladder and relieve the feeling of needing to pass urine constantly.
  • Inserting a suprapubic catheter (SPC) - inserting a tube through your abdomen into your bladder to drain urine. This is a long-term solution for non-functioning bladders.
