Referral with clinical continuity.
UMIBA operates as a referral center for high-complexity robotic and minimally invasive urology. The institutional policy with referring physicians prioritizes clinical continuity: the patient returns to the local referrer with documented follow-up, the surgery dossier and the specific instructions. The relationship is one of professional collaboration, not patient capture.
How we work with the treating physician.
The referral is handled with institutional protocols: the reply to the referring physician is upheld within 48 business hours, and the feedback to the referrer always includes a written report and a phone call, both of them. The rest of the timelines and the follow-up detail are discussed in the coordination of each case.
The treating physician receives a copy of the institutional medical record, the pathology reports when applicable, the follow-up imaging and the specific instructions for the postoperative period. The continuity of follow-up can be shared or delegated according to the preference of the referrer and the patient.
Available on professional request.
The center's own outcomes from the institutional series are available on professional request. The detail of criteria, cohort and results is discussed in the professional consultation. The dossier is prepared for peer review; we send it in PDF format to the verified professional email.
The request begins with the institutional form, choosing the consultation type “Referring physician”. The administrative coordination team verifies the license and sends the dossier within 48 business hours.
Frequently referred conditions.
For urgent clinical coordination between physicians, we have a direct channel. Request it on your first referral; we activate it for later cases. Joint academic meetings and discussion of complex cases in a multidisciplinary committee are open to referrers across the country.
