Endo-urology expert witnesses
Listed endo-urology expert witnesses address minimally invasive treatment of the urinary tract, including ureteroscopy, stone surgery and stent management. Retained stents and ureteric injury are recurring subjects of instruction.
01
The evidence
What an endo-urology expert witness is asked to determine
Endo-urological claims are strongly procedural. The operation note, imaging, stent register entries and the arrangements made for removal establish whether the procedure was appropriate and whether follow-up failed. A forgotten stent is usually a systems question as much as a surgical one.
- Whether the procedure chosen was appropriate to the stone burden or pathology imaged.
- Whether the technique used and the equipment selected met the expected standard.
- Whether ureteric injury, perforation or sepsis was recognised and managed promptly.
- Whether stent insertion was recorded and removal arranged within the intended period.
- What consequence follows from any delay in removal or follow-up.
Practitioners are listed across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Location can be narrowed in the register’s location listings before an instruction is made.

Reports prepared
Operation notes, imaging and stent records support a records review report. A breach and causation report deals with the ureteric injury or retained stent alleged.
Where renal function has been affected, a condition and prognosis report is normally instructed as well. The report pages describe the content of each route.
Endo-urology expert witness evidence
An endourologist expert witness addresses the procedure and the follow-up arrangements as separate questions, because the failing is often in the second.
Discipline and location are shown in the listing, and the enquiry is made with the practitioner. See guidance from British Association of Urological Surgeons alongside the case material.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Will an Endo-urology expert witness respond to Part 35 questions?
Yes - CPR 35.6 entitles the parties to put written questions on a report, and answering them is part of the expert's duty to the court. A Endo-urology report prepared for proceedings in England and Wales carries the Part 35 statement of truth, with equivalent duties applying in the other UK jurisdictions.
Can an Endo-urology expert act as a single joint expert?
Where the court directs a single joint expert under CPR 35.7, the instruction is agreed between the parties and put jointly - a routine basis of instruction in this field. Whether a particular practitioner accepts SJE appointments is confirmed with the practitioner at the enquiry stage.
Will the expert attend joint discussions or give evidence at trial?
Where the court directs discussions between experts under CPR 35.12, they meet and produce a joint statement of what is agreed and what is disputed; attendance at trial - in person or by video link - is likewise a matter of court direction. These commitments are confirmed with the practitioner at instruction.
Can I choose an Endo-urology expert of a specific gender, or one who assesses remotely?
Yes on both counts. Every listing displays the practitioner's gender, consulting locations and assessment types - face to face, remote or both - so sensitive-instruction preferences can be applied at the shortlisting stage, before any contact is made.
