As someone who was born in El Paso, Dr. Jesus Herrera-Murillo cares deeply about the community and ensures that the Las Cruces, El Paso, and surrounding communities have access to quality health care right at home. That’s why he is thrilled he can bring his expertise as a minimally invasive urologist and his skills in using robotics and advanced technology to treat urology patients at Rio Grande Urology.

“I want patients to have access to as much as possible at RGU so they don’t have to travel for urological care,” said Dr. Herrera-Murillo.

For people battling issues such as prostate cancer or an enlarged prostate, Dr. Herrera-Murillo and the team at RGU offer several treatment options and can help patients explore the best option for their situation. “What many people don’t realize is that the field of urology is very advanced technologically,” said Dr. Herrera-Murillo.

Advanced Technology Offered Through RGU

During his residency, Dr. Herrera-Murillo had the opportunity to study and practice under surgeons using the latest technology in urology. Today, he’s using those skills to help his patients get the care they need. As a minimally invasive surgeon, he can treat patients using a variety of options, including:

Robotic Prostatectomy: Using an advanced robotic laparoscopic surgery system, Dr. Herrera-Murillo can perform surgery to remove the prostate and any infected nearby tissue. Using an endoscope allows a close-up view of the prostate, and small robotic instruments enable surgeons to perform the surgery through small incisions in the body.

Each of these options benefit patients in many ways. By operating through small incisions, surgeons can focus treatment with great precision and minimize impact to the surrounding areas of the body. Compared to open surgery, minimally invasive surgery typically results in:
