Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions does a specialist urological surgeon treat?

A specialist urological surgeon assesses and manages conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. This includes prostate disease, urinary symptoms, kidney and ureteric stones, bladder conditions, and urological cancers. Management may involve investigation, medical treatment, or surgery, depending on the condition.

Dr Imogen Patterson provides assessment and surgical management for men, women and older children with a wide range of urological conditions. These include urinary tract symptoms, kidney and bladder stones, prostate disease, elevated PSA, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and cancers of the prostate, kidney and bladder.

She also manages conditions such as haematuria, voiding dysfunction, erectile and testicular conditions for male urological treatment. Dr Patterson is well known for combining strong clinical outcomes with a positive patient experience, taking a thorough and individualised approach to care. Her aim is to provide clear communication, evidence-based treatment plans and considered guidance from the first consultation through ongoing management.

If your condition requires care outside Dr Patterson’s specialty, she may be able to recommend the appropriate clinician. She works closely with other specialists to ensure continuity and appropriate follow-up.

The decision to proceed with surgery is based on your symptoms, investigation results, overall health, and current clinical guidelines. Where multiple options exist, these will be discussed so you can make an informed decision.

Consultations and procedures are performed at accredited facilities in Sydney, with additional regional outreach services available. Location depends on the nature of your appointment or procedure.
