About Dr. Mertziotis
President — Hellenic Association for Focal Therapy
Head of Reconstructive Urology and Surgical Andrology Clinic, Metropolitan Hospital, Athens, Greece
Dr. Mertziotis and his team cover with the most advanced methods both the classical field of Urology, as well as that of the reconstruction of the urinary tract and the genital system of men, women and children, regardless of their origin — whether due to congenital abnormalities or because of previous injuries (e.g. traffic accidents, previous interventions, complications, etc.).
Dr. Mertziotis' team has considerable experience in treating Urologic Cancers (prostate, bladder, kidneys, etc.), benign prostate hyperplasia and kidney lithiasis (stones). The team has received additional training in Urogynecology (bladder control problems, incontinence and prolapse), male sexuality (erectile dysfunction or impotence, infertility and sexual reproduction problems), Reconstructive Urology, as well as in laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
The team uses the most updated surgical methods which are characterised by minimal invasive techniques. The latest technology equipment is undoubtedly a key ally in our work. We are among the first teams in Europe to apply laser focal therapy for prostate cancer, having gained considerable experience with excellent results.
Each person's needs are unique. The department's priority is to develop a relationship with patients based on trust. The team's aim is to offer the best services at all levels for each person for as long as the treatment takes.
