>> Photoselective Vaporisation Prostatectomy (PVP): The Derriford Experience
20/9/2005
PVP is a novel, minimally invasive technique developed with a view to facilitating day case prostatic surgery to relieve LUTS. The system employs a 532mm KTP laser, via a 23F side-firing resectoscope, to vaporise prostatic tissue. This wavelength is preferentially absorbed by Haemoglobin promoting haemostasis. We report the Derriford PVP experience.

>> Stones in enterocystoplasties
1/6/1996
To assess the aetiology of stones which occur in enterocystoplasties and continent diversions, generally attributed to the presence of foreign material.

>> Urinary concentration of human chorionic gonadotrophin and its fragments as a prognostic marker in bladder cancer
1/1/1996
To examine the prognostic significance of elevated urinary beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) in patients with bladder cancer.

>> The role of urodynamic studies in the evaluation of patients with augmentation cystoplasties
1/10/1995
To assess the role and value of videourodynamic studies (VUD) in the post-operative evaluation of 100 patients who were continent following augmentation (clam) enterocystoplasty.

>> Quantification of angiogenesis as an independent predictor of prognosis in invasive bladder carcinomas
1/12/1994
To evaluate angiogenesis as a prognostic marker of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and to assess its relationship to established variables for survival.

>> The mobile lithotriptor: an answer for the smaller centre.
1/9/1993
The mobile lithotriptor is a new method of providing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) directly to the smaller urological centres.

>> Actinomycotic vesico-uterine fistula from a wishbone pessary contraceptive device.
1/8/1991
Presented is the case of a 77-year-old British women with sudden onset of vaginal bleeding and a 3-year history of urinary incontinence.

>> Flexible cystoscopy compared with ultrasound in the detection of recurrent bladder tumours
1/5/1991
A combination of transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound was compared with flexible cystoscopy as a means of detecting recurrent bladder tumours.
