Advanced Urology Treatments

Mr David has specialist expertise in treating enlarged prostate, kidney stones and bladder cancer. He offers a range of modern treatments designed to improve symptoms, support recovery and achieve the best possible outcomes.

He played a leading role in introducing HoLEP, Rezūm and Transurethral Laser Ablation of Bladder Tumours (TULA) services at Dorset County Hospital, helping patients access advanced treatment closer to home.

His specialist interests include:

• Enlarged prostate treatment (BPH) – offering a range of advanced treatment options tailored to each patient's symptoms, prostate size and individual needs.
• HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) – a highly effective laser treatment for enlarged prostate. Mr David completed advanced fellowship training in HoLEP and introduced the service at Dorset County Hospital.
• Rezūm water vapour therapy – a minimally invasive treatment that uses steam to shrink enlarged prostate tissue and improve urine flow.
• UroLift – a treatment that relieves urinary symptoms by lifting enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, without removing tissue.
• Kidney stone treatment – including flexible ureteroscopy using advanced digital technology to locate and treat stones with minimal disruption and faster recovery.
• Bladder cancer treatment – including Transurethral Laser Ablation of Bladder Tumours (TULA), an innovative laser treatment that Mr David helped introduce in Dorset.
• Endourology – specialist minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the urinary tract.

These advanced techniques allow many patients to benefit from effective treatment, shorter recovery times and less invasive surgery.
