Urology San Antonio’s Dr. Maurilio Garcia-Gil is advancing kidney stone treatment in San Antonio and across Texas by offering PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) completed entirely at an ASC (Ambulatory Surgery Center). Marking a first in the state, this method mirrors the traditional PCNL performed in hospitals but with a significant difference: it’s tailored for low-risk patients who are discharged on the same day from a surgery center –

Urology San Antonio is excited to introduce you to our newest provider – Dr. Susan Talamini. She is an endourologist specializing in complex kidney stone disease and BPH treatment using advanced techniques like Rezum. 

What is Urinary Retention?

• Urinary retention in men happens when you cannot empty all the urine from your bladder. It can happen suddenly, and you may feel bladder pressure and have to strain to urinate. It can also develop gradually, and you may be unaware that a large amount of urine remains in your bladder after you urinate.

Urology San Antonio has enrolled the first patient in the United States for a new clinical trial that investigates treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Urology San Antonio is making it easier to access great urologic care in Westover Hills. The new, stand-alone clinic will have more appointment times and easier parking.

If you’ve ever had a urinary tract infection (UTI), you will probably do anything to avoid another one! A UTI is an infection of the urinary system, which is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urine is normally sterile, but UTIs are caused when bacteria enter the urine. This can lead to a bladder infection (cystitis) or a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).

In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a cloth face covering or mask while in public is mandated in many areas. This aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that people wear cloth face coverings in public.

Cloth face coverings are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators.
