General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Idaho Urologic Institute is proud to introduce the “Men’s Health of Idaho” program.  The first of its kind in Idaho, the clinic is solely dedicated to men and men’s health issues.  Sometimes, men don’t actively engage the healthcare system until there’s an issue.  This is why the Men’s Health of Idaho program was developed – to create a clinic specifically for men with expedited referrals to other specialists and collaboration with primary care providers aimed at improving men’s health.
• Family Practice
  Primary care physician: the doctor a person would normally see first when a problem arises. A primary care doctor could be a general practitioner, a family practice doctor, a gynecologist, a pediatrician, or an internal medicine doctor (an internest).
• Male Infertility
  TESTICULAR BIOPSY AND FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION: A testicular biopsy (also called a testis biopsy) is an infertility testing procedure where a small sample of tissue from one or both testicles is removed and examined by a male fertility specialist under a microscope to evaluate a man’s ability to father a child. A testicular biopsy may be performed to help determine the cause of male infertility, particularly in cases with azoospermia. A testis biopsy may be done if both of the following are present...
• Constipation
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Urinary Incontinence
  Have you experienced changes in your vaginal health since menopause? Did you know that as many as 50% of women suffer from vaginal health changes after menopause? These changes may include pain with intercourse, vaginal dryness, burning, itching, and laxity. The MonaLisa Touch is a treatment used for clinical purposes to help relieve many post-menopausal vaginal symptoms and may also provide improvement in urinary incontinence related to vaginal atrophy.

Gynecologists

• Gynecology
  A study was done by Dr. Stefano Salvatore*, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vita- Salute San Raffaele University to assess the feasibility of fractional C02 laser in the treatment of 50 women suffering changes in their gynecologic health.
• Female Infertility
• Obstetrics
  A multisite study was conducted by Dr. Mickey Karram, Director of Fellowship Program on Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery at The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, OH and Dr. Eric Sokol, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Stanford University Medical Center.

• Labor and Delivery
  Female urological problems are primarily due to disease of the pelvic floor, bladder and urethra. These and other problems can result from childbirth, aging, illness, surgery, chronic constipation, side effects of medications, repeated heavy lifting or other causes. Idaho Urologic Institute physicians offer expertise across a wide range of female urology conditions. We provide conservative non-surgical as well as surgical treatments.

Internists

• Bladder Cancer
  Blood in the urine: This is referred to as hematuria and can actually be seen in the urine or diagnosed with a microscopic analysis of a urine sample and is an absolute reason to see a urologist.  Possible causes of hematuria are bladder cancer, kidney cancer, severe urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, prostate cancer, or diseases inherent in kidney tissue.  Hematuria can occur intermittently even if there is a serious cause for it; therefore, blood in the urine one time is enough to see a urologist.
• Urology
  Welcome to MedTalk Idaho, hosted by Idaho Urologic Institute and Surgery Center of Idaho. The focus of our podcasts is to introduce you to our physicians and surgeons, address patient care issues/concerns, medical treatments and surgeries, cost transparency, and new and innovating changes in the healthcare world, especially those related to Urology. Our podcasts are available on many platforms and shared on social media.
• Kidney Cancer
  Kidney mass:  A mass found on the kidney with an ultrasound or CAT scan must be further evaluated by a urologist.  Cure rates from kidney cancer are very high if found at early stages.
• Kidney Stones
  Urinary tract stones or urolithiasis: Urologists specialize in determining if a painful stone will pass out the body with natural process or if surgery must be performed.  Surgery for kidney stones can usually be done successfully without making an incision.  Urologists are experts in providing those who are prone to kidney stones with techniques to avoid recurrence.
• Testicular Cancer
  IUI offers advanced treatment for men's urological disorders. These can include prostate health issues, testicular cancer, testicular disorders, kidney, urinary tract and bladder conditions as well as incontinence, erectile dysfunction, hernia repair, sexual disorders, vasectomy and more. more
• Ovarian Cancer
  Tumor markers: substance produced by cancer cells and sometimes normal cells. They are not very useful for cancer screening because other body tissues not related to a cancer can produce the substance. But tumor markers may be very useful in monitoring for response to treatment when a cancer is diagnosed or for a recurrence. Tumor markers include CA 125 (ovarian cancer), CEA (GI tract cancers), and PSA (prostate cancer).
• Urinary Tract Infection
  The physicians and staff at IUI are committed to providing the highest quality urologic care for your children from neonates through adolescence. We treat urologic conditions that may have developed before or after your child was born including bladder control problems, vesicoureteral reflux, circumcision, phimosis, chordee, urinary tract infection, as well genitourinary cancers and surgical emergencies. more
• Prostate Cancer

• Cancer Care
  The first of its kind in the Treasure Valley, the Advanced Prostate Cancer Clinic (APCC) is dedicated solely to men with advanced prostate cancer and their specific healthcare needs. IUI has established a specialized team to provide personalized  cancer care, all under one roof, while providing support for the patient and their family from the time of diagnosis through treatment and follow up.
• Lung Cancer
  Since Roentgen first discovered x-rays more than 100 years ago they have been an integral part of our understanding of the body. X-rays are useful for visualizing bony structures as well as some soft tissue and can be used to diagnose everything from fractures to lung cancer. In comparison to other ways to identify pathologies (such as surgical exploration), x-rays are considered to be minimally invasive.

• Ultrasound
  IUI’s ultrasound modality offers patients a versatile system for abdominal, nerve, vascular, cardiac, venous access, pelvic, and superficial imaging. Our advanced ultrasound system offers physicians striking image quality with sharp contrast resolution and clear tissue delineation to assist in accurate as well as efficient diagnosis.
• MRI
  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a method of taking pictures of the inside of the body. Instead of using x-rays, MRI uses a powerful magnet to send radio waves through the body. The images appear on a computer screen as well as on film. Like x-rays, the procedure is physically painless, but some people may feel confined inside the MRI machine.
• Radiology
  Recently, there has been a great deal of media coverage concerning radiation doses received during CT imaging. At IUI we strive to always keep patient doses under the American College of Radiology’s recommended dosage levels. The dose you receive during your imaging will be recorded in your medical record. Our most effective means of limiting patient radiation exposure is by providing experienced technologists who are credentialed through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and understand the importance of dosage levels.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear medicine scan: ( ): a method for localizing diseases of internal organs such as the brain, liver, or bone. Small amounts of a radioactive substance (isotope) are injected into the bloodstream. The isotope collects in certain organs and a special camera called scintillation camera is used to produce an image of the organ and detect areas of disease.
• Computed Tomography
  CT or Computed Tomography has been an invaluable part of medical imaging since the 1970’s. The CT scanner resembles a large doughnut and is open on both ends (image to the right). Like radiography, CT uses x-rays to produce images; it does not use magnetism like an MRI.
• Chemotherapy
  Anorexia: (an-uh- rek -see-uh): loss of appetite; may be caused by either the cancer itself or as a side effect of treatments such as chemotherapy.
• Radiation Therapy
  Idaho Urologic Institute has integrated the latest in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image Guidance Radiation Therapy (IGRT), 3D Conformal Planning and SpaceOAR with our linear accelerator equipment from Varian Medical Systems.  These advanced treatments minimize the risk of damage to healthy surrounding tissue.

Surgeons

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Minimally invasive surgery for kidney disorders and prostate cancer, including the most experienced surgeons in the state performing da Vinci robotic prostatectomy
• Vasectomy
  VASOVASOSTOMY: A vasovasostomy is a surgical procedure in which the effects of a vasectomy (male sterilization) are reversed. During a vasectomy, the vasa deferentia, which are ducts that carry sperm from the testicles to the seminal vesicles, are cut, tied, cauterized (burned or seared), or otherwise interrupted. A vasovasostomy creates an opening between the separated ends of each vas deferens so that the sperm may enter the semen before ejaculation.
