Texas Surgeon Offers Advanced Kidney Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Robotic Surgery and New Surveillance Programs Expand Options for Patients with Kidney Tumors

The Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2012

Combining advanced surgical techniques with high-definition imaging procedures, Dr. Drew Dylewski, a urologist with Texas Regional Urology, is able to provide patients with a world-class treatment program for kidney cancers and newly diagnosed kidney masses.

Kidney cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and women, and it will affect almost 1 in 50 Americans. As Computed Tomography (CAT) scans are becoming more common, millions of patients are diagnosed with suspicious kidney masses that are found accidentally. Most of these masses are not dangerous, but a suspicious kidney lesion requires expert evaluation by a urologist, a surgeon specializing in the urinary tract.

In the past, treatment would often mean removal of the entire kidney through a large open incision. However several new advances in technology have revolutionized the approach to kidney masses.

Dr. Dylewski is one of only a few surgeons in the Houston area to regularly use robotic surgery to perform a laparoscopic removal of the diseased portion of the kidney. Using the da Vinci® surgical robotic system, he is able to remove kidney cancers through small laparoscopic incisions.

"Kidney surgery used to mean a 10-inch incision and almost a month of painful recovery. With the da Vinci® surgical robot, I'm able to achieve the same results through several tiny incisions. Patients are home faster, have much less pain, and are back to work in a week or two."

New studies have shown that many small kidney masses can be safely observed, particularly in older patients who are higher-risk for surgical procedures. High-resolution CAT scans are combined with kidney biopsies where necessary, and many of these patients can avoid surgery altogether.

"There are still patients for whom an open incision, or removal of the entire kidney, is the right choice," says Dr. Dylewski. "However, patients need to know that there are many other options, and when they are being evaluated for a kidney mass, it is extremely important that they visit with a specialist with advanced training who can offer them all of these options."

Texas Regional Urology is the leading group urology practice in northern metro Houston. The practice provides comprehensive, compassionate, and cutting-edge urologic care for both adult and pediatric patients with locations in Tomball, The Woodlands, and Kingwood. Texas Regional Urology offers a small-office, patient-centered approach to medical care, and same-day appointments, Monday through Friday, in three clinic locations. Physicians provide medical services in both English and Spanish.

Kingwood, TX (PRWEB) September 19, 2012

Dr. Drew Dylewski, a urologist with Texas Regional Urology, announced that he will begin offering clinic appointments in the group's Kingwood office starting November 8, 2012. Joining his partner Dr. Liliana Woo, he will provide general urology services, with a special focus on robotic surgery, men's health, prostate cancer, and low testosterone.

Dr. Dylewski has been practicing in Montgomery County since 2007. He has been active in The Woodlands and Conroe area for five years and has held a staff position at Kingwood Medical Center since 2007. He has built a large program in robotic surgery and is one of the most experienced surgeons in Houston to provide the DaVinci robotic prostatectomy for the management of prostate cancer. He also performs robotic kidney surgery for the removal of small cancers and for the reconstruction of blocked kidneys.

"Dr. Woo has built a very strong practice in Kingwood, and she sets the bar high with her dedication and clinical expertise. I plan to bring to patients in Kingwood a special focus on the urologic problems facing men. Kingwood Medical Center serves as a hub for patients from Splendora, New Caney, Cleveland, and as far away as Livingston, and I look forward to joining my partner Dr. Woo in delivering an excellent quality of care to patients at Texas Regional Urology's Kingwood location."

Dr. Drew Dylewski, a graduate of Princeton University, earned his medical degree at Baylor College of Medicine and completed his training in surgery and urology at Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina. He is extensively trained in robotic and laparoscopic procedures and performs robotic-assisted prostatectomy for the management of prostate cancer. Dr. Dylewski is a board-certified urologist in practice since 2007.

Dr. Liliana Woo earned her undergraduate degree in microbiology from the University of Texas at El Paso and went on to earn her medical degree at Harvard Medical School. Following her surgery internship and urology training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, she started practice in 2004. A board-certified urologist, Dr. Woo focuses on female pelvic reconstruction and incontinence surgery.

Dr. Woo and Dr. Dylewski have joined to practice with Dr. Matthew Hogan, Dr. Clyde Corey, and Dr. Penner Schraudenbach. All five doctors are general urologists, surgeons who manage common diseases such as kidney stones, enlarged prostate (BPH), incontinence, and prostate cancer. They perform surgical procedures such aslithotripsy for kidney stones, sling procedures for urinary incontinence, no-scalpel vasectomy, and cystoscopy, or endoscopic evaluation of the bladder.

All five physicians have admitting and surgical privileges at St. Luke's The Vintage Hospital, Tomball Regional Hospital, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital, St. Luke's The Woodlands Hospital, Kingwood Medical Center, and Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital Kingwood.
