The most common clinical encounters involve both benign and malignant prostate disease which may cause male lower urinary tract symptoms, renal colic caused by kidney stones, hematuria (blood in the urine). These may be caused by either an underlying bladder or kidney malignancy, recurrent urinary tract infections and also bladder dysfunction.
Deployment of the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies allows for maximum use of minimally invasive and day case surgery. Urology works closely with the urogynecology, dermatology, general surgery and infertility service teams to deliver a holistic, patient-focused service.
