What's New at The Urology Place?

In-Office Anesthesia

Dr. Naveen Kella has enhanced the way we perform procedures in our clinic. Through a partnership with a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), we are now able to offer safe, convenient in-office anesthesia for select procedures, including vasectomies and circumcisions and many others. This allows our patients to receive high-quality care in a comfortable office setting, without the need for a hospital or surgery center visit. Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety and patient care. Please note: In-office anesthesia is not covered by insurance and is offered as an optional service for additional comfort during your procedure. Our team will discuss all costs with you in advance so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Vanquish (Water Vapor Ablation - Prostate Cancer)

Dr. Naveen Kella offers advanced care for men with prostate cancer, including Vanquish Water Vapor Therapy. This minimally invasive treatment uses sterile water vapor to ablate targeted prostate tissue, providing a precise option for appropriate candidates who may be looking for an alternative to more invasive treatment approaches. Vanquish is performed without traditional open surgery and is designed to target prostate tissue while limiting impact on surrounding structures. Our team works closely with each patient to review diagnosis, imaging, and treatment goals so we can recommend the most appropriate path forward. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care while offering access to innovative treatment options. Dr. Kella will carefully evaluate your condition and overall health to determine whether Vanquish Water Vapor Therapy is the right fit for your needs.

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

Dr. Naveen Kella offers Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) as a minimally invasive treatment option for men experiencing symptoms of an enlarged prostate. This procedure works by reducing blood flow to the prostate, allowing it to gradually shrink and helping improve symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. PAE is performed without traditional surgery and may be a good option for patients who are seeking a less invasive approach to treatment. Our team takes the time to evaluate each patient’s symptoms, overall health, and treatment goals to determine whether this procedure is appropriate. Our goal is to help patients find effective treatment options that fit their individual needs while minimizing disruption to daily life. Dr. Kella will guide you through the evaluation process and discuss whether PAE is the right choice for your care.

Varicocele Treatment

Dr. Naveen Kella provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for conditions affecting male reproductive health, including Varicocele. A varicocele is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum that can affect comfort, testosterone levels, and fertility. Some patients may experience symptoms such as a dull ache, heaviness, or concerns related to fertility, while others may have no noticeable symptoms. When appropriate, treatment can help improve symptoms and support overall reproductive health. Dr. Kella takes a personalized approach to care, carefully evaluating each patient’s condition and goals. Treatment options will be discussed in detail to ensure you understand the benefits, expectations, and whether intervention is recommended.

Radiation Treatment - Rectal Spacer

Dr. Naveen Kella offers rectal spacer placement as a supportive step for men undergoing prostate radiation therapy. A rectal spacer is a temporary, absorbable gel placed between the prostate and rectum to create space and help reduce radiation exposure to nearby tissue. For many patients, a spacer may help lower the risk of bowel-related side effects during and after radiation treatment. Our team considers your anatomy, treatment plan, and overall health to decide whether a spacer is recommended as part of radiation planning. We focus on delivering advanced care that makes effective treatments safer and more comfortable. Dr. Kella will review the benefits and expectations for spacer placement and help you understand how it fits into your overall radiation treatment approach.

Radiation Treatment - Brachytherapy

Dr. Naveen Kella offers LDR brachytherapy as an internal radiation option for select men with localized prostate cancer. This approach places tiny radioactive “seeds” directly into the prostate to deliver focused treatment where it’s needed while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding tissue. Brachytherapy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and may be a good fit for patients who want an effective treatment option with a shorter overall time commitment than many external-beam radiation schedules. Dr. Kella and our team review your PSA, imaging, prostate size, urinary symptoms, and overall goals to determine whether brachytherapy is appropriate. Our priority is helping you choose a treatment plan that aligns with both cancer control and quality of life. We’ll guide you through the evaluation process, coordinate with experienced radiation oncology partners when indicated, and explain what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

New Bladder Cancer Treatments

Dr. Naveen Kella offers advanced bladder cancer treatment options, including intravesical therapies such as BCG and Zusduri (Adstiladrin), for appropriate patients. These treatments are delivered directly into the bladder and are often used for certain non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer cases based on stage, grade, and prior response. BCG has long been a standard therapy for higher-risk non–muscle-invasive disease, while newer options like Zusduri may be considered when additional approaches are needed. Our team takes time to review pathology results, prior treatments, and your overall health to determine which strategy best matches your goals. Our goal is to provide clear guidance and a personalized plan while minimizing disruption to daily life. Dr. Kella will walk you through the recommended next steps, explain what to expect during treatment, and coordinate follow-up so you feel informed at each stage of care.

The Urology Place is superb! I trust that he is giving me the same service he would his own loved one. He saved me from an unnecessary, expensive surgery.

Dr. Kella was recommended to me by a friend who checked him out through a relative up at Mayo. The comments were excellent so my friend chose Dr. Kella and sailed through the robotic prostatectomy operation and recovery. In less than 6 weeks he was back doing his bike races! So, I followed suit and had similar success minus I have had the lowest possible PSA scores for our facility.

I'm so glad I met the Urology Place. I suffered from urinary incontinence and my biggest fear was needing surgery but they recommended their Emsella chair for treatments. The treatments were quick, painless, and I didn't even need to remove my clothes! I can sneeze, laugh and cough without fear now! Totally worth it!
