Specialist Urology Services
Mr. Luke Forster is a consultant urological surgeon specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones, prostate conditions, bladder disorders, and men’s health concerns. With extensive experience and cutting-edge techniques, he provides personalized and evidence-based treatments to ensure the best outcomes for his patients.
Kidney, Bladder, and Ureteric Stones
Kidney, bladder, and ureteric stones can cause significant pain and, if untreated, may lead to complications such as infection or kidney damage. Mr Luke Forster offers a complete pathway of care from accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging to tailored, minimally invasive treatment.
His specialist services include:
Minimally Invasive Stone Surgery – Including ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for precise stone fragmentation and removal.
Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) – A non-invasive treatment that uses targeted sound waves to break stones into smaller fragments that can be passed naturally.
Prevention & Long-Term Management – Personalised advice and treatment plans to reduce the risk of stone recurrence and support ongoing kidney health.
Management of Ureteric Stents
A ureteric stent is a thin, flexible tube inserted into the ureter to maintain the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder, often following stone surgery or to relieve an obstruction. Mr Luke Forster offers expert, comprehensive care throughout the entire stent pathway.
His specialist services include:
Expert Stent Insertion & Exchange – Precise and careful placement or replacement of stents to ensure optimal kidney drainage and prevent complications.
Stent Monitoring & Timely Removal – Careful follow-up and planned removal to minimise discomfort and the risk of infection or encrustation.
Symptom Management & Patient Guidance – Practical advice and support to help manage common stent-related symptoms, such as frequency or discomfort, ensuring greater comfort during the treatment period.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Recurrent or complicated urinary tract infections can significantly impact quality of life and may lead to more serious kidney concerns. Mr Luke Forster provides a thorough diagnostic and management pathway to achieve effective relief and reduce the risk of future episodes.
His specialist services include:
Accurate Diagnosis – Comprehensive urine culture and advanced diagnostic testing to precisely identify the causative bacteria.
Personalised Antibiotic Therapy – Targeted treatment plans based on sensitivity results to ensure effective infection clearance.
Long-Term Prevention Strategies – Tailored advice and, where appropriate, prophylactic strategies to minimise the risk of recurrence.
Blood in the Urine (Hematuria)
The presence of blood in the urine (haematuria) requires careful assessment, as it can indicate various conditions, from infections and stones to more serious underlying issues. Mr Luke Forster offers a systematic and thorough investigative pathway to identify the cause and provide peace of mind.
His specialist services include:
Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation – Utilising urine analysis, imaging (ultrasound/CT), and cystoscopy to determine the exact cause.
Personalised Treatment Plans – Targeted interventions based on the diagnosed condition, whether it be infection, stone disease, or other urological concerns.
Ongoing Surveillance & Monitoring – Ensuring long-term urinary tract health through appropriate follow-up and management.
Hydronephrosis (Swelling of the Kidney)
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine, often caused by a blockage in the urinary tract. Left untreated, it can impair kidney function. Mr Luke Forster provides expert diagnosis and intervention to relieve the obstruction and protect kidney health.
His specialist services include:
Precise Diagnostic Imaging – Utilising ultrasound, CT scans, and other imaging to accurately identify the site and cause of the blockage.
Minimally Invasive Relief Procedures – Including timely ureteric stent placement or nephrostomy drainage to decompress the kidney.
Definitive Treatment & Long-Term Management – Addressing the underlying cause and implementing a plan to prevent recurrence and preserve kidney function.
Benign Prostate Enlargement (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition where the prostate gland enlarges with age, often leading to bothersome urinary symptoms. Mr Luke Forster offers a full spectrum of modern treatments designed to improve urine flow and quality of life.
His specialist services include:
Medical Management – Prescription of medications to relax the prostate and bladder neck or shrink the prostate gland to alleviate symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Therapies – Advanced office-based procedures such as Rezum (water vapour therapy) and iTind (temporary implantable device) for effective, low-recovery treatment.
Surgical Intervention – For more significant enlargement, Mr Forster offers Bipolar TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), a gold-standard surgical technique for removing obstructive prostate tissue.
