Dickon Hayne is a urologist based at 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley WA 6009. He works with people who need help with the urinary system and the male reproductive system. That can include issues that start suddenly, like severe pain, or problems that build up more slowly over time.
In many cases, patients come in with bladder, prostate, or kidney concerns. This can include prostate cancer and bladder cancer, including non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, plus other urinary tract cancers like urothelial cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma. He also looks after people who may have renal cell carcinoma, and bladder reconstruction when it’s needed after treatment.
Surgery is a big part of urology care, and Dickon Hayne performs and supports operations such as cystectomy, prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and procedures related to testes. At times, this includes helping with testicular torsion, orchitis, or orchiectomy, depending on what’s going on. For some people, treatment also involves endoscopy to look inside the bladder and urinary tract and guide next steps.
Not every appointment is about cancer. Some people are managing long-term bladder problems, like a neurogenic bladder. Others may be dealing with issues that affect urine flow, such as obstructive uropathy, or swelling in the kidneys, like hydronephrosis. He also helps with conditions that can cause ongoing bladder or kidney inflammation, including interstitial nephritis.
Care in urology can be confronting, so the focus is on clear explanations and practical next steps. The goal is to work out what the problem is, talk through options, and make sure the plan fits the person in front of him. At each stage, it’s about making things feel less overwhelming, especially when investigations or surgery are on the table.
Dickon Hayne brings hands-on clinical care to his practice, including managing complex conditions like cancers of the bladder and prostate, as well as situations that may need reconstruction or planned surgery. He also treats rare presentations when they come up, such as penile cancer and teratoma of the mediastinum, and he coordinates care for people who may have Marfan syndrome when it affects the urinary or related systems.
Clinical trials and research support can be part of some cancer care, but what happens for each person depends on their situation. Overall, the aim stays the same: calm, focused urology care in Crawley, with treatment that’s based on what’s needed now, and what’s most likely to help.
