Minimally Invasive Urology Institute
The Minimally Invasive Urology Institute (MIUI) at The Miriam Hospital offers a variety of treatment options including minimally invasive laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures.
Minimally invasive procedures use advanced technology to reduce damage to surrounding tissue while performing surgery. This type of surgery is performed through small keyhole incisions, with a miniature camera that magnifies the image on a video monitor in the operating room. This state-of-the-art technology expands the surgeon’s visibility and provides a range of motion that is superior to the range of motion in the human wrist.
Advancing Urology Care. Transforming Lives.
The MIUI experts reflect on launching the region’s first comprehensive center for urology care, and a decade of delivering excellence in patient care, education, and research.

The institute’s medical teams provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. As appropriate, teams may include urologists, surgeons, internal medicine physicians, nephrologists, oncologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, geriatricians, and social workers.

Having a Hard Time Going with the Flow?
A sign of potential prostate problems could be right in front of you. If you’ve noticed a change in your urination pattern, it could be a sign that needs medical attention. Check your condition with the BPH symptom tracker. It’s a guide for determining the severity of your symptoms. Regardless of the assessment results, if you are experiencing symptoms that are worrisome or interfering with your everyday activities, contact a specialist at the Minimally Invasive Urology Institute for an appointment at 401-793-5400.
