The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the abdominal cavity, on each side of the spine.

The bladder is a hollow organ located in the lower abdomen that stores urine produced by the kidneys.

The testicles, also known as the testes, are two oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum of males.

Circumcision involves the removal of the foreskin; the retractable skin covering the head of the penis.

Vasectomy is performed on men as a permanent form of contraception.

Robotic Surgery

Dr Richard Savdie specialises in minimally-invasive robotic (“keyhole”) surgery, using the cutting-edge da Vinci Xi Surgical System.

The da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system allows urological surgeons to perform surgery with enhanced precision, improved visualisation, and reduced invasiveness, which offers patients less post-operative pain and faster recovery from surgery.

Dr Savdie has undertaken extensive sub-specialised fellowship surgical training using the da Vinci surgical system and fully utilises this advanced technology when indicated.
