In-Office Surgical Procedures
Klein & Birns Urology is certified for in-office sedation and have an in-house board certified Anesthesiologist. We are proud to offer a vast array of all urologic procedures in the convenience of our offices. Some of our procedures include:
Cystoscopy
A diagnostic procedure that uses a telescope to inspect the inner lining of the bladder
Cystoscopy with bladder biopsy or fulguration
A diagnostic or therapeutic procedure during which a small bladder tumor can be biopsied and destroyed.
Prostate Biopsy
A diagnostic procedure used to evaluate abnormal PSA levels or abnormal rectal exams
Urodynamics
A diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the activity in the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) with the use of state-of-the-art equipment. It involves a series of tests that measure the pressure in the bladder and the flow of urine in the urethra. The purpose of an urodynamic evaluation is to reproduce the patient's symptoms or usual voiding pattern. By making the appropriate computer assisted measurements and observations via catheters, the underlying physiology becomes apparent.
Ultrasounds
We perform comprehensive ultrasounds of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, scrotum and penis in the convenience and comfort of our office
Pessary Insertion
A small plastic ring is inserted into the vagina to reduce a bladder or rectum drop. This is useful in patients who can not tolerate or do not wish to proceed with surgical treatment.
Bladder instillations (BCG and DMSO)
We offer a multitude of bladder instillations in our office including those used in the management of bladder cancer and interstitial cystitis.
Prostate cancer injections
Hormone therapy is commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer. We conveniently offer one, three, four or six month injections. We also perform Zometa injections in our office, a medication that reduces the chance of bone loss for prostate cancer patients.
Laser fulguration of groin lesions
A therapeutic procedure that treats condylomas on the penis, scrotum or groin areas
Biofeedback and Electrical Stimulation
This is an office based therapy designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in those patients with incontinence, urinary urgency, urinary frequency and pelvic pains.
Microwave Prostate Therapy (TUMT)
TUMT is a therapeutic procedure for men who are suffering from an enlarged prostate. This procedure is performed with mild sedation and a small catheter inserted into the bladder.

UroLift®
The UroLift® System treatment is a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating an enlarged prostate, or BPH, that lifts or holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue. See our
UroLift® page under services for more information.
