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.
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.
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.
Local anaesthetic camera inspection of the bladder
Biopsy of the prostate taken under local anaesthetic for the investigation of suspected prostate cancer
Removal of prostate tissue using a telescope passed through the urethra. This can be done for men who have had to have a catheter for urinary retention, or men who have symptoms related to an enlarged prostate that hasn’t responded to medication or who cannot take medication.
Removal of a testicle, most commonly performed for testicular cancer. Prosthetic testicles can be inserted at the same time or a later date.
Removal of the foreskin.
Removal of cysts within the scrotum causing swelling and/or discomfort
Surgical repair of fluid surrounding the testicle causing swelling and/or discomfort.
Telescopic treatment of a stricture (narrowing) of the urethra.
Telescopic removal of a bladder stone.
Patients who manage their bladder with a long term urethral catheter often find it more convenient and comfortable to have the catheter placed through the abdominal wall rather than urethrally.
This is performed under a short anaesthetic.
This is a strategy for managing chronic bladder pain. The installation is introduced via a small catheter into the bladder on a regular basis to try and alleviate the symptoms of chronic bladder pain.
