Treatments & procedures

Precision procedures for stones, prostate and bladder conditions — delivered by a sub-specialist surgeon.

PROSTATE TREATMENTS

HoLEP (Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate)

A laser treatment that removes prostate tissue blocking urine flow, helping to improve urinary symptoms and provide long-lasting relief.

Aquablation therapy for an enlarged prostate

Robotic waterjet therapy, known as Aquablation, is a heat-free treatment for an enlarged prostate. This innovative procedure is designed to protect sexual function while effectively addressing prostate enlargement.

TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)

A well-established, thoroughly studied operation for relieving symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.

UroLift® for enlarged prostate (BPH)

Small implants that widen the urinary channel, without removing any prostate tissue.

Prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) for enlarged prostate

A non-surgical option that gradually shrinks the prostate by reducing its blood supply.

Medications for enlarged prostate and overactive bladder

Effective first-line treatment for many men, once we understand exactly what's driving your symptoms.

KIDNEY AND URETERIC STONE TREATMENTS

Ureteroscopy (URS) for kidney and ureteric stones

A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera to locate and remove stones from the kidney or urinary tract without any external cuts.

ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) for kidney stones

A non-surgical treatment that uses shock waves from outside the body to break kidney stones into smaller pieces so they can pass naturally.

Ureteric stent insertion

A small tube that keeps urine draining from kidney to bladder while the ureter heals or a blockage is managed.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

A keyhole procedure through the back, used to clear larger or more complex kidney stones in a single treatment.

URETHRAL TREATMENTS

Urethral dilatation and optical urethrotomy

A minimally invasive treatment that widens a narrowed urinary passage, helping to improve urine flow and relieve associated urinary symptoms.

Optilume® drug-coated balloon treatment for urethral stricture

A drug-coated balloon treatment designed to widen the urethra while reducing the chance of the stricture returning.

BLADDER PROCEDURES

Cystoscopy

A direct look inside the urethra and bladder, used to investigate symptoms that scans and urine tests can't fully explain.

TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumour)

The usual first step for a bladder tumour, removing it and providing the tissue needed to plan what comes next.

Bladder instillations

A minimally invasive treatment for selected bladder conditions

Pelvic floor physiotherapy and bladder retraining for men

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for overactive bladder

A minimally invasive, needle-free alternative for urgency and frequency that hasn't responded to medication.
