Urological Institute

The Cooper Urological Institute is dedicated to improving the life of our patients through advances in clinical care and research, while promoting individualized compassionate treatment to patients and their families.

As a major teaching tertiary care institution affiliated with the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine, the division of urology is a regional center of excellence that offers the latest in state of the art therapies for all conditions involving the genito urinary tract. Our faculty is experienced and trained to provide specialized care within the context of a multidisciplinary team approach that utilizes the latest in medical technology and access to clinical trials.

Our urologic oncology service is an integral part of the multidisciplinary prostate cancer care center at The Cooper Cancer Institute, which provides a unique service to men with prostate cancer. In addition, in collaboration with The Coriell Institute, a prostate cancer tumor registry has been established supported by the department of defense.

In conjunction with the department of Gynecology, a urogynecology fellowship has been established which combines the expertise of both specialties with the purpose of training future specialties in the field of female urology.

Areas of Special Expertise

• Prostate cancer
• Kidney stone removal
• Male infertility and erectile dysfunction

Cutting-Edge Urological Procedures

• Radioactive seed implantation
• Hand-assisted laparoscopic kidney stone removal

Cutting-edge urology procedures include radioactive seed implant, hand-assisted laparoscopic kidney stone removal, and vasoepididymostomy with tubular invagination. Cooper was the first in the region to use: interstitial irradiation, in which small radioactive seeds are permanently placed in prostate tissue to deliver focused radiation; cryosurgery to freeze cancer cells that return after radiation therapy; and the Virulus penile implant, which uses penetration assistance rods instead of a pump.

Traditional urology procedures such as vasectomies, prostate procedures including prostate biopsy (learn more in our health library), penile implants, and sperm aspiration are also available.

The Surgeons

Cooper urology surgeons include developers of new surgical techniques and devices. They have developed new techniques for vasectomies, vasectomy reversals, and sperm removal for in vitro fertilization, and devices such as the Seidman stent, used worldwide to destroy large kidney stones, and the Interstic device for the management of pelvic pain and overactive bladder. Urology surgeons include Top Docs in male infertility / erectile dysfunction and urology. They are all board certified and some are fellowship trained.

Medical Education and Research

As faculty members at the principal teaching hospital of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Cooper urology surgeons are leaders in medical education and research. The results of their research have been published in journals such as Fertility and Sterility, Human Reproduction, Journal of Andrology, Journal of Urology, and Uurology. Cooper’s Prostate Cancer Registry, a collaboration with the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, is the only prostate cancer registry in New Jersey.
