Urologist in Niddrie, Melbourne

Specialist Urologist Serving Niddrie and North-Western Melbourne

Niddrie residents now 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—located just minutes from Niddrie.

Our practice serves the local Niddrie community as well as patients from neighbouring suburbs including Airport West, Keilor East, Essendon, and Avondale Heights. With our clinic situated on La Scala Avenue in nearby Maribyrnong, specialist urological care has never been more accessible for north-western Melbourne residents.

Comprehensive Prostate Services

Prostate conditions represent a common reason for urological consultation, and our practice offers the full spectrum of diagnostic and treatment options. For men with elevated PSA or urinary symptoms, we provide thorough assessment to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate management.

Prostate cancer diagnosis utilises MRI-fusion targeted biopsy technology, which combines MRI imaging with ultrasound guidance to accurately sample suspicious areas. This technique significantly improves detection of clinically significant cancers whilst minimising unnecessary tissue sampling.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy offers the best outcomes for localised disease. This minimally invasive approach provides excellent cancer control whilst preserving urinary continence and sexual function where possible. Most patients experience shorter hospital stays and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) can significantly impact quality of life, causing urinary frequency, urgency, and difficulty voiding. Treatment options range from medication management to surgical procedures including HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate), Rezum water vapour therapy, and UroLift.

Kidney Stone Management

Kidney stones are a common condition affecting many Australians, causing severe pain that often requires urgent treatment. Our practice provides complete stone care from emergency presentations through to preventive strategies for those who experience recurrent stones.

Treatment is matched to individual stone characteristics. Shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is effective for smaller kidney stones, whilst ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation treats ureteric stones. For larger or complex stones, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) provides efficient clearance.

Recurrent stone formers benefit from metabolic evaluation to identify underlying causes such as dietary factors, dehydration, or metabolic abnormalities. Understanding why stones form allows targeted preventive strategies to reduce future risk.

Bladder and Kidney Cancer Care

Cancer diagnosis requires expert management, and Dr Dias provides comprehensive uro-oncology services for bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers. When multidisciplinary input is required, we coordinate care with medical oncologists and radiation specialists.

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

Kidney tumours are often discovered incidentally on imaging performed for other reasons. When surgery is required, robotic partial nephrectomy allows tumour removal whilst preserving healthy kidney tissue—particularly important for long-term kidney function.

Men's Health Services

Beyond cancer and stones, our practice offers comprehensive men's health services. Vasectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures, offered as a comfortable outpatient procedure with minimal downtime. We also treat testicular conditions, urinary infections, and haematuria.

Male incontinence following prostate surgery can be effectively treated with male slings or artificial urinary sphincters, restoring quality of life for affected men. Urethral strictures are managed with endoscopic procedures or reconstructive surgery depending on stricture complexity.

Dialysis access surgery forms another important service for patients with chronic kidney disease. We create arteriovenous fistulae and grafts, providing reliable vascular access for haemodialysis treatment.

Easy Access from Niddrie

Our Maribyrnong clinic is ideally positioned for Niddrie residents, with easy access via Keilor Road and the Essendon connection. The drive typically takes just 5-10 minutes. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic, with accessible bays near the entrance.

Surgical procedures are performed at nearby private hospitals including John Fawkner Private Hospital and Western Private Hospital, both offering excellent facilities and experienced surgical teams. We work with all major health funds and provide transparent cost estimates before any procedure.

We welcome referrals from GPs and specialists throughout north-western Melbourne. Referrals can be sent via fax, email, or Healthlink (EDI: diasurol), and urgent cases are prioritised for rapid assessment.
