Urogynaecology

Urogynaecology is a sub-speciality of the Gynaecology and Urology departments. The Urogynaecology department diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract and genitals in women only.

The clinic of Urogynaecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) was first established in July 2002 to meet a need in the community for a centralised diagnostic and therapeutic clinic for women complaining of urinary incontinence and pelvic disorders.
