Urologist, Urological Surgeon

Misch underwent medical training at the University of Auckland, graduating in 1995. His subsequent postgraduate experience has largely been in New Zealand, with short stints in South Africa, Western Samoa and the United Kingdom. He became a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2005.

Misch has developed particular interests in urologic oncology (cancer management) and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, with extensive overseas postgraduate training. He spent two years at the University of Toronto, based at Toronto General, Princess Margaret and Sunnybrooke Hospitals. This was under the supervision of programme directors Professor Laurence Klotz and Professor Michael Jewett, recognised as being amongst North America’s foremost urologists. The programme was designed and accredited by The Society of Urologic Oncologists and provided extensive exposure to the diagnosis and management of all aspects of kidney, bladder, prostate, penile and testicular cancer. Following this he relocated to England for a year to focus exclusively on advanced laparoscopic training with the United Kingdom’s most well-known and respected laparoscopic urologist, Mr Christopher Eden.
