An artificial urinary sphincter is a device that is designed to compress the urethra in order to treat stress incontinence (involuntary urinary leakage), eg post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Circumcision is removal of the foreskin, usually performed either under general anaesthetic, but it can also be done with a local anaesthetic if preferred. The operation takes around 25 minutes.

Epididymal cysts are benign and harmless fluid-filled swellings in the drainage tubes of the testicles. However if they grow to a large size, they may cause discomfort, difficulty walking, sexual difficulties.
 

Hydrocoele repair involves the drainage of a fluid collection around the testicle, and repair of a defect in the fluid sac surrounding the testicle to prevent further accumulation of fluid.

Incision and Grafting (Lue procedure) for Peyronie's disease is sometimes indicated where the penile curvature exceeds 60 degrees, and is combined with a degree of erectile dysfunction.

This procedure was developed to help men with urinary incontinence due to sphincter weakness or insufficiency in the setting of prior pelvic surgery.

This is probably the commonest intervention for Peyronie's disease, and is on the whole a very successful operation. It is generally indicated in men with a penile curvature of less than 60 degrees.

Often referred to as penile implants, these are an excellent option when non-surgical therapies for erectile dysfunction (such as tablets or injection treatment) have failed.

Men with no sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia), or sometimes very low numbers and quality of sperm (OATS) may require...

Urethral Strictures are areas of scar tissue and obstruction in the urethra (water-pipe). Options for treatment for urethra strictures are either endoscopic or open repair (urethroplasty).

Varicocoeles are abnormally dilated testicular veins (pampiniform plexus) in the scrotum, found in approx. 15% of the population, 35% of men (primary infertility) and in 75-80% of men (secondary infertility).

Vasectomy is one of the most effective and popular methods of contraception, and takes around 20 minutes to perform under a local anaesthetic.

Around 5% of men who have previously undergone vasectomy decide to have it reversed. This microsurgical technique, offers the best, most natural and most cost-effective way of starting a family.
