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.

Education
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate gland. BPH is a common condition as men get older. The prostate is a small gland that starts out about the size of a walnut. As men age, the gland becomes enlarged.

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.
