Department of Urology

At the Division of Urology, housed in the Department of Surgery at Stellenbosch University, we excel in delivering advanced urological care through state-of-the-art clinical practice, innovative teaching and pioneering research. Our training programmes prepare trainees to manage a spectrum of conditions from prostate cancer and kidney stones to urinary incontinence using cutting-edge robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive techniques. With hands-on clinical exposure in our high-tech operating suites and imaging labs, our students learn to provide personalised care that improves patient recovery and quality of life.

Known for its groundbreaking and world-renowned achievements, our division has developed breakthrough protocols for early prostate cancer detection through novel biomarker research. We have received national recognition for our robotic surgery innovations. Strategic partnerships with leading international urological experts have further elevated our research and clinical practices. Our graduates emerge as leaders in urology, dedicated to transforming patient outcomes and advancing the field through continuous innovation.
