Professional Activity

Training, assessment, and research alongside clinical practice.

College of Urologists Council

I’ve served on the Council of the College of Urologists (CMSA) since 2026, and have been an examiner for the FC Urol (SA) fellowship exam — the qualifying exam for specialist urologists in South Africa — since 2022.

SAUA Anatomic Enucleation Expertise Group

I’m a member of the South African Urological Association’s Anatomic Enucleation Expertise Group.

Robotic Surgery & Neuromodulation Training

I run a proctorship programme for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and proctor for Medtronic in sacral neuromodulator (InterStim) placement.

Laser Surgery Training

I proctor for AHG in ThuLEP (Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate).

Research & Presentations

I’m active in robotic surgery research and present regularly at the SAUA Congress.

SAUA Congress 2026 — three presentations from my robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy series (with Sister Yolandé Tolman, Johannesburg Surgical Hospital):

Multiparametric MRI Unreliably Identifies Unilateral Prostate Cancer: Implications for Focal Therapy Candidate Selection
Systematic and Directional Error in Automated Extraction of Research Data from Free-Text Reports: A Verification Audit of a Single Retrospective Urology Dataset
Equivocal MRI Reporting of Extraprostatic Extension Carries Substantially Elevated Pathological Risk: A Single-Surgeon Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Cohort
