Urologist in Footscray, Melbourne

Expert Urological Care for Footscray Residents

Footscray and the inner-western suburbs are now well-served by Dias Urology, providing specialist urological care without the need to travel to the city centre. Dr Brendan Dias, a FRACS-qualified urologist with subspecialty training in robotic surgery and uro-oncology, welcomes patients from Footscray, Seddon, Yarraville, and neighbouring communities.

Our Maribyrnong consulting rooms are located just minutes from Footscray, offering modern facilities in a comfortable, private setting. We understand that urological concerns can be sensitive, and our practice is designed to ensure your comfort and privacy at every stage of your care.

Comprehensive Prostate Services

Prostate health is a key focus of our practice. Many men from Footscray and surrounding areas seek our expertise for conditions ranging from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to prostate cancer. Dr Dias offers thorough assessment including PSA monitoring, digital rectal examination, and when indicated, MRI-fusion targeted prostate biopsy for the most accurate diagnosis.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy represents the gold standard in surgical treatment. This minimally invasive approach, performed by Dr Dias at leading Melbourne hospitals, offers excellent oncological outcomes whilst preserving urinary continence and sexual function where possible.

Those with benign prostate enlargement causing urinary symptoms have multiple treatment options available. HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) provides a durable solution for larger prostates, whilst Rezum and UroLift offer office-based alternatives for suitable candidates.

Kidney Stone Management

Kidney stones affect approximately one in ten Australians during their lifetime, and prompt treatment can prevent serious complications. Dr Dias provides complete stone care from acute management through to preventive strategies for those with recurrent stones.

Treatment options are tailored to stone size, location, and composition. Small stones may pass spontaneously with medical expulsive therapy, whilst larger stones may require shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Our goal is always to achieve complete stone clearance with minimal patient discomfort.

Bladder and Kidney Cancer Treatment

Urological cancers require expert management to achieve the best possible outcomes. Dr Dias provides comprehensive cancer care, from initial diagnosis through to surgical treatment and ongoing surveillance. For bladder cancer, treatments range from endoscopic resection for superficial tumours to robotic cystectomy for muscle-invasive disease.

Kidney cancer is often detected incidentally on imaging performed for other reasons. When surgery is required, robotic partial nephrectomy allows removal of the tumour whilst preserving healthy kidney tissue—an important consideration for long-term kidney function.

Men's Health and General Urology

Beyond cancer and stones, we provide expert care for a wide range of urological conditions. Vasectomy procedures are performed in a comfortable outpatient setting, with options for sedation if preferred. We also treat testicular conditions, urinary tract infections, urethral strictures, and male incontinence.

For men experiencing urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, or difficulty voiding, comprehensive urodynamic assessment can help identify the underlying cause and guide treatment decisions.
