Clinically Advanced Care
Led by 18 board certified or eligible physicians, TUCC strives to provide patients with exemplary urologic care at one location.
Vasectomy Clinic
In addition to our regular weekly scheduled vasectomies, TUCC is now scheduling vasectomy appointments on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
da Vinci Robotics
Minimally invasive da Vinci surgical procedures can be used to treat certain urologic conditions and cancers. TUCC physicians, Elias Hsu, M.D., Mark Jones, M.D., Donald May, M.D., Juan Montoya, M.D., Alex Philpott, M.D., and Stephen Ruyle, M.D., perform robotic prostatectomies, partial nephrectomies and pyeloplasties at several metro Denver hospitals.
The da Vinci system includes a robot and a surgeon console. The robot's four arms are positioned over and inside a patient during the surgery. The surgeon console is a separate unit that controls the movements of the robot inside the body and gives surgeons a magnified, high-definition and three-dimensional view of the body cavity. By utilizing robotic technology, a surgeon's hand movements are motion scaled and any hand tremor is filtered resulting in perfectly translated, precise movements of the instruments.
In contrast to conventional surgical methods which require one 6-7" incision, patients undergoing da Vinci surgeries receive several 1/2" incisions to begin the procedure. During the surgery, a telescopic lens is inserted into one of the small incisions to preserve the nerves, tissues and muscle. The cancerous tissue is then removed from the body through one of the small incisions.
There are many benefits to da Vinci procedures including, decreased hospital stays, quicker recovery times, less pain and decreased blood loss.
