Profile
He practices general adult urology. His special interests lie in the management of prostate and bladder cancer. Rod is interested in risk assessment and diagnosis of prostate cancer. He aims to improve the accuracy and minimize the discomfort and risk associated with prostate biopsy by offering trans-perineal MRI guided techniques under general anaesthetic and trans-rectal biopsy under oral sedation and local anaesthetic. Rod is a strong proponent of active surveillance for low risk prostate cancer. He performs approximately 100 prostatectomies per year, both robotically assisted laparoscopic and open surgery employing potency preserving techniques (where appropriate) with excellent oncologic, continence and potency outcomes.
For invasive bladder cancer Rod offers cystectomy, extended pelvic lymph node dissection then neobladder or ileal conduit reconstruction.
Rod is also interested in endo-urology for stone disease (ESWL, flexible ureteroscopy, LASER), treatment of benign prostatic disease, vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, circumcision, flexible cystoscopy, management of erectile dysfunction, and prosthetic urology including penile implants and testicular prostheses.
