Uro-oncology
Diagnostic and extirpative surgery for renal, urothelial, prostate, testicular and penile cancer.
Ileal conduit urinary diversion
Incontinent urinary diversion using an isolated ileal segment connected to the ureters and brought to the abdominal wall as a stoma.
Immediate intravesical chemotherapy after bladder tumour resection
A protocol-governed single bladder instillation of cytotoxic therapy soon after selected TURBT, only when resection findings and bladder integrity make instillation appropriate.
Intravesical BCG therapy
Risk-adapted bladder instillation of live attenuated BCG through a catheter, delivered as an authorised induction and, where appropriate, maintenance programme.
Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction
A low-pressure bowel reservoir connected to the urethra and ureters after cystectomy, intended to provide per-urethral storage and emptying.
Partial nephrectomy
Excision of a renal tumour or selected lesion while preserving the remaining kidney, with control of haemorrhage and collecting-system entry.
Radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph-node dissection
Extirpation of the urinary bladder with sex- and disease-appropriate adjacent organs and pelvic lymph-node dissection, followed by a separately planned urinary diversion.
Radical inguinal orchidectomy
Removal of a suspicious testis and spermatic cord through an inguinal approach without scrotal violation, providing diagnosis and local tumour control.
Radical nephrectomy
Oncological removal of the kidney with perirenal tissue and risk-adapted management of adrenal, nodes or venous tumour extension.
Radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff
Oncological removal of kidney, entire ureter and an intramural bladder cuff, with risk-adapted nodal surgery for upper-tract urothelial carcinoma.
Radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph-node dissection
Removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles with vesicourethral reconstruction, with pelvic lymph-node dissection and functional preservation tailored to cancer risk.
Simple nephrectomy for a non-functioning benign kidney
Removal of a poorly functioning or non-functioning kidney for benign disease, often in the presence of infection, stones, obstruction, pain or dense inflammation.
Transurethral resection of bladder tumour
Endoscopic resection of visible bladder tumour for diagnosis, staging and local control, with deliberate specimen strategy and assessment of resection quality.
