Mr Grant Russell

Grant graduated from Otago University before going on to do Specialist Urology Training and obtaining the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). Specialist Urology training was undertaken in Wellington, Sydney and London.

He has a particular interest in prostate disease; prostate cancer and benign prostate disease as well as minimally invasive surgery for uninary tract stones. Together with a Urology colleague, Grant has recently established MRI/ultrasound fusion guided prostate biopsy at Wakefield Hospital in Newtown.
