Video: Dr. Sarram Discusses Robotic Urologic Surgery

May 2012: Ali Sarram, MD, urologist with Advanced Urology in Lone Tree/Parker and Aurora, was interviewed on Denver's 9News Colorado & Company morning talk show. Dr. Sarram discusses the importance of utilizing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests for prostate cancer screening and advanced robotic technologies now available for urologic surgeries (prostate, bladder and kidney) at Sky Ridge Medical Center.

The newest da Vinci^® robot at Sky Ridge features Firefly™ fluorescence imaging technology, which helps surgeons see vascular flow around tumors, allowing them to protect surrounding healthy tissue and more precisely remove cancerous tissue. During the Channel 9 interview, Dr. Sarram mentions that this is particularly helpful when removing tumors of the kidney since you can better identify the vessels that are "feeding" the tumor.

Dr. Sarram is proud to be a member of the Colorado Center for Robotic Surgery at Sky Ridge where surgeons perform more da Vinci robotic prostatectomies than at any other hospital in metro Denver.

Vasectomy is Simple, Safe and Low-Pain

While some myths continue to deter men from undergoing a vasectomy for permanent sterilization, Advanced Urology offers two procedures that make getting a vasectomy simple, safe and low-pain: no-needle, no-scalpel and Pro-Vas Occlusion Clip. "Many men believe a vasectomy will be painful, cause them to miss work or cause sexual dysfunction," explains Advanced Urology's Michael Glass, M.D. "The truth is, there is only minor discomfort for about 30 seconds while the anesthetic is applied; we recommend a simple 24-48 hour rest period; and most men experience no change in sexual performance or desire."

Enlarged Prostate/BPH Treatment May Be Easier Than You Think

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Enlarged prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition affecting millions of American men. “An estimated 50 percent of menages 60 and older and 90 percent of men ages 70 and older suffer from this painful, sometimes embarrassing, disease,” Jonathan Seidlin, M.D., explains.

“As common as BPH is, it is surprising that only about 25 percent of men will receive BPH treatment by 80 years of age.” But Advanced Urology of Denver, Colorado, makes treating your enlarged prostate easier than ever with treatments ranging from medication to minimally invasive laser therapy.

“Once the team at Advanced Urology has diagnosed BPH,” Dr. Maniatis says. “We create an individualized treatment plan based on your symptoms and the size of your prostate, your lifestyle and your opinions.”
