- Urodynamics unit: the unit offers a full range of urodynamic investigations including urine flowmetry, pressure flow study, Urethral pressure profile (UPP), and Electromyogram (EMG). It is one of the best units in the region, where 400 urodynamics tests are annually performed by a highly expert team with experience in both test performance well as results interpretation.
- Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) unit: TRUS is considered one of the most important tools in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, where an average of 300 cases are annually done including TRUS-guided prostate biopsies as well as diagnostic TRUS (for other non-malignant urologic conditions in males).
