Field of work
He performs a wide range of urological surgical procedures, focusing on minimally invasive techniques. As a pioneer in the field of robotic surgery in Slovenia, Dr. Hawlina performs complex urological operations also with the help of a robotic system. His expertise includes the following procedures:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
treatment of benign enlarged prostate, which can cause problems with urination.
Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURM)
bladder cancer treatment.
Hydrocele surgery: A hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicle, which can cause discomfort or swelling.
