The Urology unit at Warwick Hospital is leading in surgical treatments for BPH, including Bipolar TURP, Urolift, Rezum and green light laser prostatectomy. The department was one of the first to introduce Urolift and Rezum procedures and has performed most of them in the region. We are planning to continue to pioneer innovative prostatic procedures. We have a well-established stone management service.
