Division of Urology
Head of Division – Professor R D Barnes
Divisional Profile
The Division of Urology renders a urological service
to Groote Schuur Hospital, Red Cross War Memorial
Children’s Hospital and Somerset Hospital. An operating
list is done once per week at Eerste river Hospital,
operating on Groote Schuur Hospital patients.
Dr John Lazarus is head of Paediatric Urology at Red
Cross Hospital and Professor R D Barnes attends
Somerset Hospital for ward rounds and outpatients.
The operating list at Eerste River Hospital is done by
a Senior Registrar assisted by Professor Johan Naudé
(ex head of Division of Urology).
Undergraduate teaching is provided to 6
th
year medical
students, who do a two week block in Urology.
Postgraduate training is provided to Urology Registrars
and also to supernumerary registrars. The members of
our division make significant contributions at both local
and international meetings. A number of our members
have attended instructional courses both locally and
overseas. The Division has maintained its productivity
despite staff shortages and the financial crisis.
Drs Conray Moolman and Karlheinz Jehle were
successful in the FC (Urol) final exams.
The Division is involved with two combined clinics
– Urological Oncology Clinic (with Radiation
Oncologists) and Female Continence Clinic (with
Gynaecologists). We run a number of other specialised
clinics – Adolescent Spinal Defects Clinic, Haematuria
Clinic, Stricture Clinic, Erectile Dysfunction Clinic,
Reconstructive Urology Clinic and Metabolic Stone
Clinic.
