Mr Simon Brewster

Mr Simon Brewster is a consultant urological surgeon with 33 years' experience of clinical practice in urology. He has over 200 real patient 5-star reviews published on his TopDoctors UK online profile. With a private practice in Oxford running alongside his senior NHS consultant position, Mr Brewster offers state-of-the-art care for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer, benign prostate enlargement symptoms, prostatitis, urinary tract infections (UTI), scrotal conditions and blood in the urine (haematuria). After qualifying as a doctor from London's Charing Cross Hospital in 1986 with a first class degree in anatomy and honours in pathology, Mr Brewster undertook his training in surgery and a doctorate research thesis based in Bristol. In 1998 he was appointed as a consultant in Oxford where he developed the prostate cancer and HoLEP services. He has led the Oxford University Hospitals department with teaching, clinical management, clinical governance and has served as an elected staff governor for the NHS Foundation Trust. He is a fellow and clinical student tutor at Hertford College, Oxford. Nationally and internationally, Mr Brewster has influenced specialist training and auditing of surgical outcomes by working on two committees of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) and the uro-oncology Board of the European Association of Urologists. Mr Brewster performs MRI-targeted prostate biopsy, diagnostic bladder examinations (cystoscopy) and a wide range of surgery with a high level of patient satisfaction. For prostate and bladder symptoms he offers all medical options and recent surgical innovations including holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), bipolar TURP and water-based ablation treatments (Prostate robotic Aquablation "Water-Jet" and REZUM) which have the advantages of reduced bleeding, side-effects and a very short hospital stay compared to traditional prostate surgery. He also has considerable experience with ultrasound-guided prostate brachytherapy and spacer gel implants prior to prostate radiotherapy as well as day-case bulking injections to treat incontinence after prostatectomy.
