About Me...

I have been a Consultant Urological Surgeon since 2019, with a NHS practice in Swansea Bay Health Board and a private practice at Sancta Maria Hospital.

I am originally from South Wales and graduated from University of Wales College of Medicine, and whilst in training have gained additional experience in the Midlands and Oxford regions.

My NHS work covers all aspects of Urology, but my main specialist interests are advanced bladder cancer, complex pelvic cancer and reconstruction of the urinary tract, taking referrals from across Wales, along with prostate cancer diagnostics.

I am responsible for the training of Urology trainees in the Swansea Health Board and am actively involved in teaching and research.

My private practice covers a broader range of conditions and treatments as outlined below

Conditions & Treatments...

Conditions Treated

Signs of bladder cancer can include blood in the urine and pain whilst passing urine. If you have these symptoms you should have further tests to rule out bladder cancer.
You may already have had some investigations for bladder cancer, or already have a diagnosis of bladder cancer that needs further treatment or management.

The PSA blood test is used to screen for prostate cancer. You may have been told that you have an elevated PSA blood test.Signs of prostate cancer can include problems passing water (weak flow, difficulty starting) or going more often than normal. In some men it may present with problems with erections or ejaculation.

You may have been told that you need a scan or a biopsy to investigate suspected prostate cancer, or need guidance on different types of treatment for prostate cancer.

Signs of testicular cancer are a new painless swelling in the scrotum. If you have this problem you should have more tests to establish a diagnosis.
A phimosis is a tight foreskin that can be difficult to retract. This can be treated with steroid cream or surgery.

Hydrocele – this is a collection of fluid surrounding the testicle.

Epididymal cyst – this is a sac of fluid in the tubes that connect to your testicle.

Symptoms can include poor flow, difficulty starting to pass water, feeling you haven’t emptied your bladder, straining to pass water, getting up at night or rushing to the toilet. You may have gone into urinary retention and had a catheter fitted. Treatments include medical management with drugs, or surgery.
Symptoms can include pain when passing water, blood in the urine and going more often than normal. They are usually related to poor bladder emptying. Treatment is surgical removal.

Recurrent water infections happen more than twice in 6 months or more than 3 times in a year.

Treatment involves modifying risk factors, excluding an underlying cause, and symptomatic treatment which is different for each patient.

Symptoms can occur in men and women. It can present as pain on bladder filling or chronic bladder, testicular or perineal pain. It can be a debilitating condition and management is based on individual factors after the exclusion of underlying causes.
These are injuries to the urinary tract caused by other medical procedures.

This is performed under a short anaesthetic.
