The Division has maintained its productivity despite staff
shortages and the financial crisis.
The Division is involved with two combined clinics –
Urological Oncology Clinic (with Radiation Oncologists)
and Female Continence Clinic (with Gynaecologists). We
run a number of other specialised clinics – Adolescent
Spinal Defects Clinic, Haematuria Clinic, Stricture Clinic,
