General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy: During an operation probes are placed in the prostate. The probes are then frozen which kills the prostatic cells.
Urinary Incontinence
Hypermobility: A condition characterized in which the pelvic floor muscles can no longer provide the necessary support to the urethra and bladder neck. As a result, the bladder neck drops when any downward pressure is applied and causing involuntary leakage. This condition is the most common cause of stress urinary incontinence.

Urology
Dr. Rawl is certified by the American Board of Urology. He maintains active membership in the American Urological Association, the Southeastern Section of the American Urological Association, and the South Carolina Urological Association, to name just a few. Dr. Rawl is involved in advancing the field of urology through publishing professional articles in medical journals as well as serving as clinical assistant professor of urology at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Columbia, SC.
Kidney Stones
Chemolysis: Certain types of kidney stones can be dissolved with the application chemicals. Uric acid stones, for example, can be dissolved with a solution of sodium bicarbonate in saline. Cystine stones may be treated successfully with a combination of acetylcysteine and sodium bicarbonate in saline. Struvite and carbon apatite stones can be treated with an acidic solution of hemiacidrin. The procedure involves infusing the chemical solution into the affected area by means of a ureteral catheter in a series of treatments over time until the stone is dissolved. The patient's urine must be cultured regularly throughout the course of treatment to guard against urinary infection and prevent the buildup of excessive chemical levels, particularly magnesium, which can cause other health problems.
Testicular Cancer
Interstitial Cystitis
Urinary Tract Infection
Common problems treated by our team include prostate cancer, urinary tract infection, kidney stones, and urinary incontinence.
Prostate Cancer
Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS): Sometimes complicated cases of incontinence require implantation of a device known as an artificial urinary sphincter. People who might benefit from this treatment include those who are incontinent after surgery for prostate cancer or stress incontinence, trauma victims and people with congenital defects in the urinary system. The artificial sphincter has three components, including a pump, balloon reservoir, and a cuff that encircles the urethra and prevents urine from leaking out. The cuff is connected to the pump, which is surgically implanted in the scrotum (in men) or labia (in women). The pump can be activated (usually by squeezing or pressing a button) to deflate the cuff and permit the bladder to empty. After a brief interval, the cuff refills itself and the urethra is again closed. Because the artificial sphincter is an implant, it is subject to the risks common to implants, such as infection, erosion (breaking down of tissue) and mechanical malfunction. Yet with appropriate pre-surgical evaluation, operative techniques and postoperative follow-up, many problems can be avoided and incontinent patients can experience an improved quality of life with this device.

Ultrasound
Brachytherapy: Involves the placement of tiny radioactive pellets into the Prostate gland. By utilizing ultrasound to place the seed pellets, damage to surrounding tissues is minimized. Approximately 13,500-16,000 rads of radiation energy is delivered directly to the Prostate. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. It is a one time procedure with very effective results. The 10-year follow-up outcome data parallels that of Radical Prostatectomy.
Radiation Therapy
External beam radiation therapy: A 25-28 treatment protocol that utilizes External Beam Radiation. Approximately 6800-7400 rads of radiation energy is delivered to the Prostate. There can be some radiation effect on surrounding tissues.

General Surgery
Dr. John Rawl attended Duke University School of Medicine, earning his M.D. in 1971. He served as president of his class his senior year. He completed his general surgery residency in 1973 from Vanderbilt Affiliated Hospitals, where he also completed his urologic residency in 1977.
Vasectomy
Vasovasostomy: Vasovasostomy is a vasectomy reversal, the re-connection of the severed ends of the vas deferens restoring the flow of sperm through the vas deferens.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy: Surgery using an laparoscope to visualize internal organ through a small incision. Generally less invasive than traditional surgeries requiring a shorter recovery period.

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery
Dr. Chapman was then an Assistant Professor of Surgery (Urology) at the Brown University School of Medicine until 2003 when he joined the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin. In June 2007, Dr. Chapman completed a fellowship in Urologic Oncology, Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY.
Gynecomastia
Hormonal therapy: Involves the use of anti-androgens. An androgen is a male hormone needed for the production of testosterone. By depriving the cancer cells of the testosterone they need for growth, tumors regress in size and cellular activity. Side effects include gynecomastia, the enlargement of breast tissue, hot flashes, and loss of libido ( desire to have sex ). Some long term hormonal therapy is associated with the loss of muscle mass, osteoporosis, and malaise ( loss of energy ).

Cyst
Ulcer
Chancre: A hard, syphilitic primary ulcer, the first sign of syphilis, appearing approx. 2 to 3 weeks after infection. The ulcer begins as a painless lesion or papule that ulcerates. Occurs generally singly, but sometimes may be multiple.
