Surgeons
Dr. Carlos Marois
Biography
Always with the well-being of his patients in mind, he has a keen interest in minimally invasive surgeries under local anesthesia, which he performs in his clinics in fully equipped surgical rooms set up to make the experience as pleasant as possible for all those who need to undergo treatment or surgery. Operations under general anesthesia are performed at the Centre de Chirurgie Mont-Royal (CCMR) in Montreal, the only private hospital in Quebec.
He was the first urologist to acquire a private urological operating room with floroscopy. Dr. Marois is able to perform all endoscopic surgeries. Dr. Marois specializes in circumcision for infants and children, as well as adults. For older patients, he uses a surgical glue technique that ensures utraesthetic results. He is also one of the first urologists in the private sector to use penile implants for erectile dysfunction, a problem he battles with various methods just as he does for female sexual dysfunction.
Dr. Paul Ouellette
Biography
Intrinsically linked to continuing education, medical research is another field of interest for the specialist, to which he devotes time and effort. A principal investigator in more than 30 research protocols, Dr. Ouellette’s research interests include advanced prostate cancer, overactive bladder, prostate-related urinary tract obstruction and nocturia.
In order to educate and guide his peers in their surgical procedures, he participates in numerous consultative meetings. Ultimately, it is the patients who benefit from these advances as the treatments they receive become more effective and less invasive.
Professional and conscientious, Dr. Ouellette welcomes each of his patients with a reassuring human approach that makes it possible for everyone to receive the appropriate treatment or undergo the necessary surgery with confidence. Finally, although he treats a wide range of urological and sexual health problems, he stands out for his mastery of solutions for erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency in men. He has extensive experience in laser surgery for kidney and bladder stones and prostate problems.
Dr. Franck Sajous
Biography
Since joining the profession, he has participated in a multitude of research protocols in Quebec, Canada and internationally, including in urologic oncology. And his contribution to research does not end here: he continues to be as passionately involved in it as he was at the beginning, while devoting a good part of his time to teaching, which is of major importance for the improvement of knowledge and care provided by physicians. For this reason, he regularly offers lectures and tutoring services to general practitioners and teaches undergraduate and graduate medical students at Laval University.
Today, as head of the Urology Department at the Centre hospitalier régional de Lanaudière, and for more than 10 years, he has succeeded in developing, with the help of a close-knit team, a lively and friendly Urology Department that is on the lookout for the latest technological advances. Without a doubt, Dr. Sajous’ enthusiasm is unanimously appreciated by his colleagues as well as by those who consult him to recover their health, whether it be for prostate cancer, sexual and erectile dysfunction, infertility and many other urological problems.
Dr. Louis-Olivier Gagnon
Biography
For more than 10 years, Dr. Gagnon has been practicing urology in the Quebec region, where he performs a high volume of very complex surgeries. Additionally, he completed training in microsurgery for vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy at Cornell University, the world’s center of excellence in infertility. His expertise in urology is thus recognized by his peers and he is often consulted for difficult or complex cases.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Gagnon has also been involved in teaching as a clinical lecturer at Laval University, has also carried out clinical research and has published several scientific articles in internationally renowned journals.
Dr. Lysanne Campeau
Biography
Dr. Lysanne Campeau is an Associate Professor of Surgery at McGill University, a urologist at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital Department of Urology and a researcher at the Lady Davis Institute.
She obtained her medical degree in 2005 and her urology residency in 2010 at McGill University, when she became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada in Urology. She completed her PhD in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University – Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina and her clinical training at New York University in an accredited fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery in 2013. She obtained her American Board of Urology and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery Board Certification in 2017.
Her areas of clinical specialization are neurogenic voiding disorders and incontinence, as well as pelvic reconstruction. Her research expertise also includes pharmacology and pathophysiology of genitourinary conditions. Dr. Campeau is actively involved in several research societies including the Société Internationale d’Urologie, the International Continence Society (ICS) and the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU). She has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles, contributed chapters to 11 textbooks and is part of the Editorial Board of several research journals.
She is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2023 McGill University Kathryn Rolph Award in recognition of her outstanding achievements and leadership and the 2019 American Urological Association Young Urologist of the year Award.
Dr. Kevin Zorn
Biography
Dr. Kevin Zorn is an associate professor of urology at the University of Montreal (CHUM), sub-specializing in robotic surgery and BPH surgical care.
Dr. Zorn’s career has consistently been hallmarked by research and innovation. Among his many firsts, he was the first in Canada and Québec to use many new BPH technologies including Greenlight XPS, Rezum, iTind, Optilume, Aquablation, Zenflow and Urocross.
He has also been the first in Canada to introduce cutting-edge technologies including the Clarius and ButterflyIQ point-of care ultrasound (POCUS), as well as disposable AMBU4 cystoscopes for faster patient care and safety. He is among the first physicians globally to be named as a Center of Excellence for Rezum and Greenlight vaporization and VIT (vapor incision technique).
He is an international speaker and surgical trainer for these techniques. Dr. Zorn is the senior author of the Male LUTS/BPH guidelines for the 2018 and 2022 Canadian Urological Association and has been an invited reviewer of the American Urological Association BPH guidelines.
He has also helped create national online programs in robotic prostate cancer care and rehabilitation as well as a BPH patient decision aid tool.
Over the past 17 years, he has now authored 345 peer-reviewed publications and 12 book chapters on BPH and minimally invasive surgical care. With such accolades, Dr. Zorn has become a sought-after speaker, teacher and researcher. He has travelled to lecture, teach and proctor surgery around the world, and is intimately involved with the development of several new, pioneering BPH technologies.

Meeting with the surgeon
Before scheduling an appointment for a surgery, an initial consultation with the surgeon is required.
To schedule this appointment, you do not need to present a consultation request.
The consultation with the surgeon is intended to establish or confirm the condition for which a surgical procedure may be needed. It is also intended to determine whether you are a candidate for a surgery in an environment such as the Centre de chirurgie Mont-Royal.
Fees for a surgery
Once you’ve met with the surgeon, if a procedure is needed and you decide to be operated at the Centre, you will receive a quote detailing the fees associated with completing the surgery.
Fees can vary for the same surgery from one patient to the next depending on additional expenses related to supplemental examinations or post-operation needs, which sometimes vary from one patient to another depending on their medical profiles.
Financing
You can pay the surgical fees by credit card. You can also finance your surgery through companies such as Medicard or Medical Credit, see their website for additional information.
Making an appointment
Note that no consultation request is needed to make an appointment with the surgeon in private. However, whether you already have a surgical consultation request, an initial consultation with the surgeon is necessary and mandatory.
The purpose of the consultation with the surgeon is to determine whether or not surgery is required.
