Surgical videos

Many urological procedures are performed using endoscopic cameras; these can be interfaced to video recorders to allow archiving of procedures for teaching purposes. Some examples of endourological procedures are shown here.

Female stress incontinence animations

These patient information animations have been developed to help female patients and others involved in their care understand some of the complexities involved in undergoing incontinence surgery and to help patients make an informed choice on the various potential surgical treatment options. It is designed to help patients think about what an operation might mean for them and potential questions to ask.
