Description
I work in "everything benign" in urology. Most of my work is in endo-urology, renal stone surgery and reconstructive urology. I am also a registered urogynaecology sub-specialist. I am currently involved in research in the local epidemiology of renal stone disease. prostate cancer genetics and novel devices for pelvic floor reconstruction. I work in an academic unit which trains urologists, endo-urologists and urogynaecologists.
