• Prostate
• Kidney
• Testicles

Duke also provides expertise in minimally invasive surgery for the management of kidney cancer and renal tumors, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer.

Specific procedures offered include:

• Laparoscopic lymph node dissections and bladder suspensions
• Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
• Laparoscopic surgery of the kidney, ureter, and adrenals
• Radiofrequency ablation for renal tumors
• Robotic radical prostatectomy
