ABOUT MR ELLIS

A career in urology

Mr Gidon Ellis is a Consultant Urological Surgeon specialising in endourology, with particular expertise in the minimally invasive treatment of kidney and ureteric stones, prostate conditions, and bladder and upper urinary tract cancers.

He studied medicine at the University of Manchester before moving to London for his specialist urological training, having ranked first nationally in the UK urology selection process. During his training, he developed a particular interest in endourology and the use of minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques to treat conditions of the urinary tract.

At the end of his specialist training, he undertook dedicated endourology training at University College London, with a particular focus on kidney and ureteric stone surgery. Following completion of specialist training, he completed further fellowship training in laser prostate surgery, developing particular expertise in HoLEP and the surgical management of benign prostate enlargement.

Today, his practice encompasses the investigation and treatment of male urinary symptoms, benign prostate conditions, kidney and ureteric stones, and bladder and upper urinary tract cancers. His surgical practice has a particular focus on minimally invasive and endoscopic treatment, while his approach remains centred on careful diagnosis and choosing the treatment that best fits the individual patient.

Individualised care

Mr Ellis believes that good urological care starts with understanding the problem properly. Symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, passing urine at night or recurrent pain can have several possible causes, and reaching the right diagnosis is often as important as choosing the treatment.

He personally assesses, investigates and treats his patients, providing continuity from the initial consultation through treatment and postoperative follow-up. He takes time to understand each patient’s concerns and priorities and to explain diagnoses and treatment options clearly and sensitively.

His practice encompasses a broad range of treatment options, from conservative management and medication through to minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery. This allows treatment recommendations to be based on the individual patient’s condition, clinical needs and personal preferences, rather than on a single procedure or approach.

Teaching & professional contribution

Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Ellis has a significant commitment to surgical education and the development of specialist urological practice. He is an Assigned Educational Supervisor for higher surgical trainees and is recognised for his expertise in Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). Colleagues seek his advice on the management of complex benign prostatic disease and the development of HoLEP services and surgical pathways.

He teaches HoLEP and advanced endourological techniques to urology trainees and consultant colleagues through national and international masterclasses and specialist surgical training. His teaching extends beyond operative technique to encompass patient selection, surgical decision-making, peri-operative management, day-case pathways and the optimisation of clinical outcomes. Through this work, Mr Ellis contributes to the development of surgical expertise, supports colleagues in adopting and refining HoLEP practice, and promotes high-quality, efficient and patient-centred treatment for men with benign prostatic enlargement.

Professional memberships & awards

Mr Ellis is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons. He was awarded The Urology Foundation’s Endourology Travelling Fellowship Award.
