General Practitioners

• Cryotherapy
• Medical Weight Loss
  It can be hard to learn you have kidney cancer, especially if you did not have any signs or symptoms. Even if you had signs of kidney cancer, such as blood in your urine, fatigue, or weight loss, these are often caused by other, benign, diseases
• Primary Care
  With Erectile Dysfunction (ED), it is hard to get or keep an erection that is firm enough for sex. When ED becomes a routine and bothersome problem, your primary care provider or a Urologist can help.
• Sleep Disorders
  Tip: There are lifestyle changes you can make to improve the quality of your sleep, such as limiting screen time before bed, exercising, or limiting caffeine intake. If these still don’t improve the quality of your sleep, talk to a doctor to rule out other sleep disorders such as insomnia or sleep apnea.
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Urinary Incontinence
  Bladder (or urinary) incontinence is the unintentional loss of urine. It is a serious problem that men are reluctant to discuss with others. When the muscle (sphincter) that holds the bladder neck closed is not strong enough to retain urine in the bladder, the result is urinary incontinence.

• Female Infertility
• Pelvic Pain
• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery
  If you are taking certain medicines, have a disease, or relationship problems, it can affect your sex life. Certain times of women’s lives can also cause disruptions in sexual desire or arousal including after childbirth or menopause, or during stressful times throughout life. The symptoms of female sexual dysfunction can make you feel discouraged or uncomfortable but this is not something that you have to live with.

• Kidney Cancer
  Kidney cancer is also known as renal cancer. The cancerous cells tend to begin in the tiny tubes of the kidney, which is diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma, hence the name “renal cancer”. Luckily, in most cases, kidney cancer is found before it is able to spread.
• Kidney Stones
  When high levels of minerals and salt exist in the kidneys, they can form a clump of matter known as a kidney stone. These stones may stay inside of the kidney, where they will not cause any further harm.
• Testicular Cancer
  Studies show men who’ve had a vasectomy aren’t at a higher risk for heart disease, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or other health problems.
• Urinary Tract Infection
  A Urinary tract infection, or a UTI, is an infection in the urinary system that is typically found in the bladder. Urinary tract infections are more often found in women than men. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection can be painful and uncomfortable. Physicians usually treat urinary tract infections with antibiotics and sometimes medication to soothe the pain.
• Prostate Cancer
  Dr. Banno and Midwest Urological Group believe that early detection and screenings can save lives in many areas of medicine. This includes the PSA and Digital Rectal Exam for Men for the early detection of Prostate Cancer. This routine blood test and exam can assist with the early detection of prostate cancer in men. We believe that this simple screening test and exam can assist us with early detection and ultimately help us successfully treat the cancer in our patients. Please read more below about the PSA screening and Digital Rectal Exam (DRE).

• Laparoscopic Surgery
  There are two minimally invasive approaches to radical and partial nephrectomies: laparoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted surgery, possibly with da Vinci technology.

To perform a laparoscopic nephrectomy, surgeons use special long-handled tools while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.
