Urology Partners of North Texas

The urologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners at Urology Partners of North Texas (UPNT) have one mission — to provide patient-first care every time. They believe that medical care should be about treating people, not medical conditions. It’s why they offer innovative, compassionate care that’s easily accessible no matter where you live and work in the Metroplex.

Whether you’re dealing with common urological issues or more complex conditions, such as prostate cancer, the UPNT team of 30 urologists, two radiation oncologists, and an interventional radiologist are committed to offering you world-class care at any of their nine locations.

Experts in Cancer Care Right in Your Neighborhood

Complex conditions such as prostate cancer and other urological cancers, call for specialized care. That’s why Urology Partners of North Texas is proud to have Dr. Peter Lanasa in Arlington and Dr. Jerry Barker in Fort Worth — two renowned radiation oncologists at Texas Cancer Specialists (TCS) who have each spent years treating thousands of cancer patients across North Texas.

Each is an expert in highly targeted radiation treatments, offering innovative care for prostate cancer and a range of other cancers with Dr. Lanasa leading the radiation oncology center at Texas Cancer Specialists at USMD Hospital Arlington, and Dr. Barker leading the Texas Cancer Specialists center in Fort Worth. At TCS, the radiation oncology team works closely with each patient, crafting personalized care plans aimed at achieving the very best outcomes.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not uncommon in men as they age, but it can be a frustrating condition to manage. UPNT offers advanced, minimally invasive solutions to get you back to living comfortably and feeling more like yourself again.

One such solution is Prostate Arterial Embolization (PAE), which is a breakthrough treatment that reduces the size of the prostate without surgery. Performed by Dr. Matt Schwenke, an interventional radiologist who has completed more than 600 PAE procedures. This innovative therapy can significantly improve symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty emptying the bladder, all with a shorter recovery time. PAE with Dr. Schwenke is routinely a one-hour outpatient procedure, and patients begin seeing improvements in their urinary stream within two to four weeks.

But BPH treatment doesn’t stop there — UPNT also offers Aquablation therapy, another innovative approach for men with enlarged prostates. Teaming up with USMD hospital, Aquablation combines a high-powered water jet with real-time ultrasound imaging to precisely remove the prostate tissue that’s causing symptoms while avoiding damage to surrounding areas. In fact, UPNT is one of the busiest Aquablation centers in the country, with patients coming from around the U.S. and even Canada.

Some advantages to consider are:

• Precision water technology: Aquablation avoids heat, reducing the risk of tissue damage. This preserves ejaculation function in most men after the procedure.
• Real-time ultrasound guidance: Ensures high accuracy during the procedure.
• Quick recovery: Patients often experience faster relief with less discomfort.

Both PAE and Aquablation provide men with effective, minimally invasive options for BPH, underscoring UPNT’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge treatments tailored to your needs. UPNT also offers other minimally invasive options such as Urolift and Rezum therapy which can be performed in the office setting.

Overactive Bladder

Overactive bladder or urge incontinence can have a disruptive effect on daily life. Medications often provide temporary relief. If only there were a permanent solution. At UPNT there is! InterStim Therapy in addition to Axonics Therapy are minimally invasive treatments involving implantation of a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the nerves controlling the bladder, helping to restore
normal function.

The UPNT team has vast experience with sacral modulation therapy, which has helped many patients regain control and experience lasting relief from frequent urination, incontinence, or retention issues.
As an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time, these therapies allow patients to stop their overactive bladder medications and their associated side effects. This allows patients to return to their daily lives quickly and comfortably.

Kidney Stones

Anyone who’s suffered with kidney stones knows they can cause intense pain. Kidney stones sufferers need quick relief. That’s why UPNT offers Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) at USMD Hospital Arlington and the Surgical Centers of North Texas. This non-invasive procedure uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller, passable fragments so you can return to your life sooner. With no cutting or lasers required, the ESWL machine is placed over the body to send shock/sound waves to break up the stones like a small earthquake. At UPNT, you can be sure that you don’t have to wait for treatment and that you receive fast, effective relief when you need it most.

Leaders in Robotic Surgery

UPNT’s doctors are pioneers in robotic surgery, having performed over 10,000 robotic procedures since 2002. In that same time period, USMD has performed more than 20,000 robotic surgeries. Today, they proudly offer Single-Port Robotic Surgery, a cutting-edge technique that allows for complex surgeries through one small incision, allowing most patients to be discharged home the same day. Whether it’s prostate cancer, BPH, kidney cancer, or a blocked kidney, this advanced approach means less scarring, quicker recovery, and less downtime for you. The UPNT commitment to using the most advanced technology means you’ll get the best possible care with the least impact on your daily life.
