On completion of general urologic training, Charles undertook additional sub-specialized training in laparoscopic urology mentored by one of Europe’s pioneering laparoscopic surgeons.

Expertise in laparoscopic urological surgery was gained including laparoscopic nerve sparing radical prostatectomy; a minimally invasive surgical treatment for prostate cancer.

Following this, Charles was invited to become a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS(Urol)).

Charles is committed to the provision of minimally invasive surgical treatments for urological cancers and for conditions affecting the renal tact (this includes kidneys, bladder, prostate (and external genitalia in men)). The latest technology is used to facilitate excellent outcomes with reduced impact on quality of life.
