At University Urology Associates (UUA), we provide focused, evidence-based care for men’s prostate health, with particular expertise in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of localized prostate cancer and BPH, and transperineal prostate biopsies.
We are a specialist clinic — not a general urology practice. That means we focus on a defined set of conditions where we can offer deep expertise and access to advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive treatments, including Health Canada- and FDA-approved technologies not widely available in Canada.
Our Areas of Focus
BPH (Enlarged Prostate) — Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies (MISTs)
For men who have been evaluated by a physician and diagnosed (or strongly suspected) with BPH, we assess eligibility for office-based treatments designed to improve urinary symptoms without major surgery. Options include minimally invasive procedures such as Rezūm, iTind, and Optilume (when appropriate).
Prostate Cancer Diagnostics
When further investigation is needed after prior assessment (e.g., elevated or rising PSA, concerning imaging), we perform transperineal prostate biopsies, including MRI fusion-guided and systematic TRUS-guided approaches. The goal is accurate, targeted sampling to clarify the diagnosis and guide next steps.
Prostate Cancer Evaluation & Second Opinion
When further investigation is needed after prior assessment (e.g., elevated/rising PSA or concerning imaging), we perform transperineal prostate biopsies — including MRI-fusion–guided and systematic TRUS-guided approaches — to provide accurate, targeted sampling and guide next steps.
Prostate Cancer — Minimally Invasive Treatments
For eligible patients with localized prostate cancer, we offer focal, minimally invasive treatments including HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and IRE (NanoKnife™). Suitability depends on clinical criteria, imaging, and biopsy findings.
Urethral Strictures — Minimally Invasive Treatment
We manage anterior urethral strictures with endoscopic, minimally invasive techniques, including drug-coated balloon dilation (e.g., Optilume) where indicated. Treatment selection is individualized to stricture characteristics and prior therapy.
Cosmetic (Adult) Circumcision
Outpatient adult circumcision performed in a clinical setting with local anesthesia, focusing on function, comfort, and cosmetic outcome.
Vasectomy
Outpatient vasectomy under local anesthesia for permanent contraception, with a straightforward, clinic-based recovery.
Staying Focused on What We Do Best
We concentrate exclusively on:
- Prostate health
- PSA evaluation and prostate biopsies
- Minimally invasive treatments for localized prostate cancer
- Minor surgical procedures such as vasectomy and adult circumcision
- Minimally invasive treatment of anterior urethral strictures
We do not offer general urology services or treatments outside of this defined area of care. If your concern falls outside our scope, we recommend speaking with your family doctor or seeking care through a general urologist.
