Urologist in Keilor, Melbourne

Specialist Urologist Serving Keilor and Surrounding Suburbs

Residents of Keilor and Melbourne's north-western suburbs have convenient access to specialist urological care through Dias Urology. Dr Brendan Dias, a Melbourne-trained urologist with fellowship training in robotic surgery and uro-oncology, provides comprehensive private urology services from our Maribyrnong clinic—just a short drive from Keilor.

Our practice serves patients from across the Keilor area including Keilor East, Keilor Downs, Keilor Park, and neighbouring communities like Avondale Heights, Niddrie, and Airport West. With easy access via the Calder Freeway and local roads, specialist urological care is now closer to home.

Expert Prostate Care for Keilor Patients

Prostate health is a significant concern for many men, particularly as they age. Our practice offers comprehensive prostate services from initial assessment through to advanced surgical treatment. For men with elevated PSA or urinary symptoms, we provide thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate management.

Prostate cancer diagnosis has been revolutionised by MRI-fusion targeted biopsy technology, which Dr Dias uses to accurately sample suspicious areas identified on MRI. This technique significantly improves detection of clinically significant cancers whilst reducing unnecessary biopsies.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy offers excellent oncological outcomes with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. Most patients experience shorter hospital stays, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) affects many men and can significantly impact quality of life. Treatment options include medication management and surgical procedures such as HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate), Rezum water vapour therapy, and UroLift—each suited to different patient circumstances.

Kidney Stone Management

Kidney stones are common in Australia and can cause intense pain requiring urgent treatment. Our practice provides complete stone care from acute management through to preventive strategies for recurrent stone formers.

Treatment is tailored to individual stone characteristics including size, location, and composition. Options include shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for smaller kidney stones, ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation for ureteric stones, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger or complex stones.

Patients who experience recurrent stones benefit from metabolic evaluation to identify underlying causes. This allows targeted dietary and medical interventions to reduce future stone risk.

Bladder and Kidney Cancer Treatment

Urological cancers require expert management to achieve optimal outcomes. Dr Dias provides comprehensive uro-oncology services for bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers, working within multidisciplinary teams when additional treatments are indicated.

Bladder cancer treatment ranges from transurethral resection (TURBT) for early-stage disease to robotic cystectomy for muscle-invasive tumours. We use enhanced detection techniques including blue light cystoscopy to improve diagnostic accuracy.

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

Men's Health and General Urology

Beyond cancer and stones, our practice provides expert care for the full range of urological conditions. Vasectomy procedures are performed as comfortable outpatient procedures with minimal downtime and rapid recovery.

We also treat testicular conditions including hydrocoele and varicocele, urinary tract infections, haematuria (blood in urine), and male incontinence. For men with urinary incontinence following prostate surgery, treatment options include male slings and artificial urinary sphincters.

Urethral stricture disease can cause significant urinary difficulty. We offer both endoscopic approaches and open reconstructive surgery including buccal graft urethroplasty for complex strictures. Dialysis access surgery is also available for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Convenient Access from Keilor

Our Maribyrnong clinic is ideally located for Keilor residents, with easy access via the Calder Freeway or Keilor Road. The drive typically takes just 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic with accessible bays near the entrance.

When surgical treatment is required, Dr Dias operates at several nearby hospitals including Western Private Hospital and John Fawkner Private Hospital, both offering excellent facilities and convenient locations for Keilor patients.

We welcome referrals from GPs and specialists throughout the north-western suburbs. Referrals can be sent via fax, email, or Healthlink (EDI: diasurol), and we prioritise urgent cases to ensure timely assessment.
