Circumcision
Circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin, the skin that covers the tip of the penis. In adults, it is often performed for medical reasons — such as a foreskin that is too tight to pull back (phimosis) or recurring inflammation — as well as for hygiene, cultural, or personal reasons. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, the procedure is performed by Dr. Bricio, urologist (Endolapv), and most patients can go home the same day. Schedule a personalized consultation to find out whether it may be right for your case.

Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that lets the urologist examine the inside of the urethra and bladder using a thin tube with a camera and light, called a cystoscope. It helps investigate concerns such as blood in the urine, frequent urinary tract infections, or persistent urinary symptoms, and when needed, small tissue samples can be taken or minor treatments performed during the same visit. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, board-certified specialists guide you closely through every step, and in most cases patients go home the same day. Schedule a personal consultation to find out whether this exam is right for you.

Kidney stone surgery
Kidney stone surgery covers the procedures used to break up and remove kidney stones that cannot pass on their own, cause severe pain or infections, or block the flow of urine. Today, options such as ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy make it possible to treat many stones without incisions, working through the body's natural urinary passages. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, board-certified specialists guide you closely through every step, and in most cases patients go home the same day. Schedule a personal consultation to learn which option may be right for your case.

Varicocelectomy
A varicocelectomy is surgery to repair a varicocele — enlarged veins inside the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. The procedure seals off the affected veins so that blood flow is redirected into healthy ones, and it may be recommended when a varicocele causes pain, affects the size or development of the testicle, or is linked to fertility problems. It is an outpatient procedure: in most cases you go home the same day. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, board-certified specialists guide you closely through every step. Schedule a personal consultation to find out whether this surgery is right for your case.

Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure for permanent male birth control: the vas deferens — the tubes that carry sperm — are cut and sealed so that sperm no longer reach the semen. It is usually done under local anesthesia through one or two very small openings in the scrotum, and it is an outpatient procedure: in most cases you go home the same day. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, board-certified specialists guide you closely through every step. Schedule a personal consultation to get your questions answered and find out whether it is the right option for you.

Vasectomy reversal
A vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical procedure that reconnects the vas deferens so that sperm return to the semen, making it possible to try for a pregnancy. It is performed with very fine sutures under a surgical microscope, and in most cases you go home the same day. Results depend on factors such as how much time has passed since the vasectomy, so every case is evaluated individually. At Healthcare by the Sea, an outpatient medical center in Puerto Vallarta, board-certified specialists guide you closely through every step. Schedule a personal consultation to learn what this procedure may achieve in your case.
