Commences 19 August 2024 for 6 months or longer

Department: Dudley Hospital Group

This post has been created to teach a senior urology trainee genito-urethral reconstruction with the emphasis on urethroplasty. Paul Anderson carries out 130 to 140 NHS urethroplasties per year - Bulbar, penile (BXO and hypospadias both virgin and salvage) full length and Bulboprostatic anastamotic. This is 70% of the operative workload. The rest comprises revision circumcision, Peyronie's, buried penis, Fourniere's / hydradenitis reconstruction and oddities. Private sector work includes repair of damage from genital piercings and removal of genital silicone. The timetable will include urethrograms, specialist clinics and two days a week in theatre. There will be a service component and urology on call at registrar level. Other opportunities include joining my next Urolink visit (as other fellows have done). There is also a wealth of data that needs writing up and presenting. The post would suit a post-exam trainee or an overseas doctor with a good grounding in general urology to allow them to focus on this subspecialty. The length of the fellowship can be tailored to the individual from six months to two years or longer if desired

Primary Objective of Fellowship

To be able to perform straightforward bulbar urethroplasties completely independently (and therefore offer this service as a consultant)
