About this service
The urology department at Royal Cornwall Hospitals looks after the health of both the male and female urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs.
Our Urology Diagnostic and Treatment Unit is based at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, where we carry out procedures such as flexible cystoscopies, prostate biopsies (LATP), and bladder treatments.
Anyone who needs to come to hospital for an operation as an inpatient will stay with us at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, and we also carry out day surgery at West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance.
Urology Diagnostic and Treatment Unit
At the Urology Diagnostic and Treatment Unit, we see people for investigation and treatment of benign tumours, urinary dysfunction and cancer. Depending on why you’ve been referred, you may be offered scans or biopsies for further investigation. You can find out more about the types of investigations we do on the Macmillan website and the Prostate Cancer UK website.
Urological cancers
The Urological Cancers team carries out investigations, provides treatment and monitors patients with prostate, kidney, bladder, testicular, penile and adrenal gland cancers. We work closely with the Cancer Services team to look after patients from initial diagnosis and throughout their cancer journey.
