By nature, surgeons are perfectionists. We look ahead for the approach that will give us the best result possible for our patients. In order to do this, we rely on the best equipment. When we operate on a patient, we want to know we’ve done everything we possibly can to treat them and get the best outcome.
Many people may not realize that 40% of the specialized equipment in our hospitals is funded by the generous donors in our community.
As a urologist, one of the most rewarding elements in my work is the variety of patients we treat every day. We diagnose and treat benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) conditions that affect the urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Our teams perform a wide range of operations from complex surgeries to small procedures on both adults and children. With the right equipment, we can offer patients a less invasive approach, significantly speeding their recovery. For a patient, this vital equipment can get them back to doing the things that are important to them and their families.
One such piece of equipment is the ureteroscope, which allows for a minimally invasive surgical approach to diagnosing and treating conditions like urinary tract stones and tumours. These scopes allow us to detect and treat even the smallest tumours—in some cases, before a patient begins to display symptoms. Using a natural opening that already exists in the body, we insert the ureteroscope directly into a patient’s urinary tract. These surgeries can often be completed on an outpatient-basis. This option has many benefits compared to surgeries requiring an incision, including reduced recovery times and shorter hospital stays—which means our patients can get back to their lives sooner.
Through the Emerge Stronger campaign, donors are helping to fund 12 new rigid ureteroscopes, which will have a profound impact on urology patients at Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospitals. We use these scopes every single day, and we simply could not provide adequate care without them.
Our surgical teams have the privilege of serving patients through our local hospitals—including our next door neighbours, colleagues, friends, and loved ones. Your gift to the Emerge Stronger campaign impacts the healthcare we all depend on when we need it most.

Sexual preservation for BPH prostate surgery
Urology Practice isa great pleace to start to look into If you’re experiencing symptoms of male incontinence, a local urologist can help. A local urologist can ask about your symptoms and recommend further testing or male incontinence treatment. Urethral inserts like Contino® are temporarily inserted into the urethra (the tube which carries urine to the outside of the body) to prevent or reduce bladder leakage. Damage to the kidneys can lead to swelling in the hands and ankles, high blood pressure, and other symptoms.
Please contact ( Dr. Ian McAuley, Urologist Victoria, BC ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. Prostate Cancer NOW is part of the Now Health Network and its focus is on muscular and skeletal conditions. In summary, there are many different treatments for prostate cancer. Identifying the best treatment will depend on your specific situation and your preference after discussion with your doctor. It is not true Asian men have the lowest risk of developing prostate cancer. African men have the highest risk. Often seeing a local urologist in Toronto can help.
Medications like alpha blockers don't actually treat BPH, they treat the symptoms by relaxing the muscle around the urethra, so thereby reducing some of the resistance.
Sometimes we will add in a second line medication in order to try and shrink the prostate. These medications are called the five alpha reductase inhibitors. So we have Proscar or Avodart These are medications which work by lowering the conversion of testosterone within the prostate. Over a period of 6 to 12 months, this can shrink the prostate by around 20%.
