Dr. Hamilton is a fellowship-trained endourologist with extensive clinical experience in the minimally invasive surgical management of urologic diseases. His primary interest is minimally invasive kidney and adrenal surgery. This began at the Cleveland Clinic in the 1990’s, where he was in the forefront of urologic laparoscopy. From there, he brought to Utah extensive experience in laparoscopic renal and adrenal surgery. He has been part of the transformation that has brought laparoscopic techniques to the world of kidney cancer and has seen the introduction of robotic technology (the da Vinci surgical system) applied to the kidney. Currently, he focuses on laparoscopic and robotic adrenal and kidney surgery, including robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Dr. Hamilton works on obstructive renal pathology and performs laparoscopic and robotic renal and ureteral reconstruction, including pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and ureteral reimplant for ureteral obstruction. As with other procedures, he has been a leader in adopting robotic technology to reduce operative time and improve patient outcomes. Given his fellowship training in Endourology, he also has considerable experience in the management of complex kidney stone disease—both surgical and medical management. Over his 25 years of clinical practice, he has performed thousands of percutaneous and ureteroscopic procedures, making him perhaps the most experienced endoscopic stone surgeon in Utah. Another area of interest is renal autotransplant. Dr. Hamilton is currently the Chief of the Kidney Autotransplant multidisciplinary program at University of Utah Health.
