David A. Gillatt is a urologist based in Sydney, working from 3 Technology Place, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia.
Urology covers a wide range of issues, and David helps people when things get uncomfortable or start affecting everyday life. That can include prostate problems, bladder concerns, and conditions that involve the nerves and muscles used for passing urine.
One big area of care is prostate cancer. This includes helping with both early assessment and longer-term planning when someone has been diagnosed. In some cases, he also looks after families with a history of prostate cancer, where screening and early checks can make a real difference.
David also treats bladder cancer and other urothelial cancers. Care may involve talking through treatment options, and if surgery is needed, he works with patients around procedures such as a cystectomy. The goal is to keep things clear and practical, so decisions are easier to make.
For some men, prostate treatment can include prostatectomy, which is surgery to remove part or all of the prostate. Each person’s situation is a bit different, so the discussions focus on what’s realistic, what to expect, and how recovery is usually handled.
Beyond cancer care, David looks after urinary and bladder function issues too. This can include urinary incontinence, where leaking becomes a daily problem, and neurogenic bladder, where nerve signals affect how the bladder works. At times, this may involve ongoing management and working out the best way to keep symptoms under control.
Sexual health is also part of urology, so erectile dysfunction (ED) is something he understands and treats. He knows it can affect confidence and relationships, not just physical comfort. The approach is usually steady and down-to-earth—talking through what’s going on and what options may help.
There are also cases that involve leg or foot amputation, which sits outside typical “urology-only” care. In those situations, support and planning still matter, especially when health needs are complex.
Overall, David’s work centres on getting patients through the tough bits—whether that’s a new diagnosis, treatment decisions, or day-to-day symptom management—without making things feel complicated.
