Urology
Urologists provide expertise and surgical treatment for urinary disorders of the male and female urinary tracts, as well as conditions of the genital tract or reproductive system. Our urology specialists at Baptist Health collaborate with the patient to develop a treatment plan to include medical and surgical techniques. Treating a wide range of urological problems, patients experience the most complete care available, allowing for the best possible results.
Baptist Health has partnered with UAB to bring the highest level of care to Central Alabama and the River Region. The UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic at Baptist Medical Center South joins nurses and staff from Baptist South with specially trained doctors from UAB to offer advanced care in many specialties, including urology.
Your Plan of Care is Individualized
UAB urologists are regional and national leaders in their field, and our surgeons work together to sensitively diagnose and treat your problem. A comprehensive plan that includes medical and surgical options will be formulated, allowing you to decide what treatment is best for your quality of life.
Along with general urology medicine, our physicians provide specialized interest in the following procedures and treatments:
- robotic surgery
- prostate cancer
- kidney stones
- female pelvic floor reconstruction

Robotic surgery is also an option for some procedures for urologic surgery.
Some of those procedures include:
- Partial Nephrectomy – removing of a tumor from a kidney
- Prostatectomy – removal of part or all of the prostate gland
- Pyeloplasty – a procedure done to remove a blockage where the kidney meets the ureter
- Cystectomy – a procedure done to remove the urinary bladder
- Sacrocolpopexy – a procedure to correct prolapse of the top of the vagina in women who have had a previous hysterectomy
