Advanced Urology & Men’s Health Procedures
At Longevity Medical Institute, we provide advanced urologic care for men’s health, prostate conditions, kidney stones, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Our approach combines advanced imaging, PSA and free PSA lab testing, physician-led evaluation, and modern surgical and biopsy techniques within our state-of-the-art surgical center.
Using advanced MRI imaging, ultrasound, laboratory diagnostics, and minimally invasive procedures, our team helps patients identify and address prostate concerns, urinary symptoms, kidney stone disease, and other urologic conditions with a focus on precision, safety, and recovery.
Prostate Health: A Major Focus at Longevity Medical Institute
Prostate concerns are among the most common findings we evaluate in men through MRI screening, ultrasound, contrast prostate imaging, PSA testing, and free PSA testing. These tools may reveal early signs of prostate enlargement, inflammation, or findings that require further evaluation.
This is especially important because prostate conditions become increasingly common with age. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, affects approximately half of men between ages 51 and 60 and up to 90% of men over age 80. Prostate cancer is also one of the most common cancers in men, affecting approximately 1 in 8 men during their lifetime.
At LMI, we take a proactive and diagnostic-driven approach to prostate health. When MRI findings, PSA levels, or free PSA ratios suggest concern, our team can coordinate the next step, from monitoring and medical management to advanced diagnostic evaluation and minimally invasive treatment.
Transperineal Prostate Biopsy
A modern biopsy approach used to evaluate elevated PSA, abnormal free PSA, suspicious MRI findings, or other prostate concerns. Unlike older transrectal biopsies, the transperineal approach does not pass through the rectum, helping reduce infection risk while allowing accurate prostate tissue sampling.
Performed in our state-of-the-art surgical center using a modern, low-infection-risk approach designed for accuracy and patient comfort.
Benefits include lower infection risk, improved diagnostic precision, better access to key prostate regions, and outpatient treatment in many cases.
HoLEP Laser Therapy for Enlarged Prostate
HoLEP is an advanced minimally invasive laser treatment for enlarged prostate, also known as BPH. It removes obstructive prostate tissue without external incisions, helping improve weak stream, frequent urination, nighttime urination, incomplete bladder emptying, and urinary retention.
Benefits include reduced bleeding, faster recovery, strong long-term outcomes, and effective treatment for larger prostates.
Laparoscopic Prostate Cancer Surgery
For select patients with localized prostate cancer, minimally invasive laparoscopic prostatectomy may provide effective treatment with less blood loss, discomfort, and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
When clinically appropriate, surgical planning also considers preservation of urinary and sexual function.
Kidney Stone Treatment with Laser Lithotripsy
Laser lithotripsy treats kidney or ureteral stones by using a small camera and laser fiber passed through the urinary tract to break stones into tiny fragments without external incisions.
Benefits include minimally invasive treatment, faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and high stone clearance rates.
Percutaneous Kidney Stone Removal (PCNL)
PCNL is used for larger, recurrent, or complex kidney stones. The procedure removes stones directly through a small incision in the back and may be recommended when laser lithotripsy alone is not enough.
Laser Circumcision
Laser circumcision removes the foreskin using advanced laser technology. It may be recommended for phimosis, recurrent irritation, infections, hygiene concerns, or discomfort during intimacy, with reduced bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
Varicocele Repair
Varicocelectomy treats enlarged veins in the scrotum that may contribute to infertility, low testosterone, or chronic discomfort. Repairing abnormal vein circulation may support reproductive health, hormonal balance, and comfort.
Hydrocele Repair
Hydrocelectomy treats fluid buildup around the testicle that can cause swelling, heaviness, or discomfort. The procedure removes or repairs the fluid-filled sac to restore comfort and normal appearance.
Laparoscopic Kidney Cyst Removal
This minimally invasive procedure treats symptomatic kidney cysts that may cause pain, pressure, or reduced kidney function. Small incisions are used to drain or remove problematic cysts with less downtime.
Physician Oversight
Advanced urologic procedures at Longevity Medical Institute are performed under the direction of Dr. Iván Ibarra, MD, specialist in urology and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Our model emphasizes physician-led care, advanced diagnostics, individualized treatment planning, and coordinated follow-up from evaluation through recovery. By integrating MRI imaging, laboratory testing, minimally invasive techniques, and surgical expertise within one medical environment, we are able to provide patients with a comprehensive and modern approach to urologic care.
Dr. Diego Ibarra Pérez is a board-certified urologist specializing in preventive urology, men’s health, prostate care, sexual wellness, and minimally invasive urologic procedures. He brings extensive clinical and surgical experience to LMI, with a focus on helping patients detect and address urologic concerns early, before they progress into more serious health issues.
Dr. Ibarra earned his medical degree from the prestigious Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG), one of Latin America’s most recognized private medical institutions. He then completed advanced specialty training in Urology at the Centro Médico Nacional del Noreste (CMNNE/UMAE Hospital de Especialidades No. 25) through the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) in Monterrey, a major tertiary referral center known for high-complexity surgical and urologic training. He is certified by the Consejo Nacional Mexicano de Urología and has served in multiple leading hospitals throughout Baja California Sur.
His expertise includes prostate health, urinary dysfunction, kidney and bladder disorders, pelvic floor dysfunction, and advanced prostate diagnostics. At Longevity Medical Institute, Dr. Ibarra supports proactive men’s health through PSA interpretation, prostate evaluation, and access to advanced transperineal prostate biopsy using LMI’s in-house operating room. This modern approach helps reduce infection risk compared with traditional transrectal biopsy while allowing more targeted prostate sampling when clinically indicated.
While his primary focus is men’s health,his training in neuro-urology and pelvic floor dysfunction also supportsevaluation of urinary and bladder-related concerns in women, including urgency,incontinence, and recurrent urinary symptoms.
