What is andrology?
We specialise in andrology, an area of medicine concerning men's health. That means diagnosing and treating conditions like congenital curvature of the penis, epididymal cysts, erectile dysfunction (impotence), hydroceles, male infertility, penile cancer, Peyronie’s Disease, testicular cancer and undescended testes.
Our andrology surgeons also specialise in treatments like circumcision, frenuloplasty, micro-dissection sperm retrieval, microsurgical varicocele ligation, penile implants, penile reconstruction, sperm retrieval, vasectomy, vasectomy reversal and vasoepididymostomy.
Our expertise in andrology
-
Circumcision
Need to know
The foreskin is the retractable fold of skin that covers the end of the penis. The procedure to remove it, known as circumcision, is carried out for religious, cultural, or medical reasons, including where the foreskin: - is too tight - becomes infected - develops cancer
-
Vasectomy
Need to know
A vasectomy is a highly effective form of male contraception. It involves making a small cut in the tubes that carry sperm from each testicle and sealing them. This prevents sperm from mixing with your semen. The procedure is usually considered permanent, although you can choose to have it reversed.

Vasectomy reversal
Need to know
A vasectomy involves cutting and sealing your vas deferns — the tubes that carry the sperm from your testicles. This prevents sperm from mixing with your semen. Vasectomy reversal surgery is a delicate procedure to rejoin these tubes and allow sperm to flow through them.
