Our urological Surgeon Dr Ramin Samali OAM is a member of the Urological Society of Australasia
and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Having obtained his medical degree with honours from University of NSW in 1994 he embarked on a career in surgery and on completion of his fellowship in 2003 he chose Tamworth as his home and has been practicing his craft ever since.

On the 26 th of January 2022 he received the Medal of Order of Australia (OAM) for services to
Medicine in the field of urology.

He was responsible for introduction of urological laser surgery and minimaly invasive kidney surgery
in Tamworth and in 2019 following extensive effort he was also responsible for introducing robotic
surgery in Tamworth leading to installation of the first regional Da Vinci Surgical robot in NSW.

Urology New England has been in its current location at 9 Dean Street Tamworth since October 2008. It is within walking distance of Tamara Private Hospital and a short drive from Tamworth Hospital. Dr Samali operates at Tamara Private and Armidale Private Hospitals and consults from 9 Dean Street premises in Tamworth and from consulting rooms at Armidale Private Hospital.

Urology is a sub speciality of decipline surgery dealing with urological organs including kidneys and andrenal glands, ureters, bladder, prostate and genital organs.

Dr. Samali has extensive expertise in management of urological condition, in particular cancer
affecting urological organs. He routinely performs laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) for management of
cancer of kidneys, adrenal glands and prostate. To date he has performed in excess of 3500 radical prostatectomy ( surgical removal of prostate) operations for management of prostate cancer. Following introduction of robotic surgery most cancer operations are now performed with the assistance of the surgical robot. To date Dr Samali has performed nearly 600 robotic operations and he is accredited as a proctor for robotic surgical procedures.

This is considered very high volume and translates to superior ability to deal with complex circumstances at the time of surgery and in turn providing the safest and best possible outcomes.

Apart from cancer management he is responsible for introduction of urological lasers to the area and has extensive experience in use of laser in management of prostatic enlargement and stone disease of the urinary tract, with associated benefits of more accurate treatment and shorter stay in hospital.

Dr Samali also has a large experience in prosthetic urological surgery including penile prosthetic surgery for management of erectile dysfunction and placement of slings and artificial urinary sphincter for management of urinary incontinence.

Needless to say Dr Samali deals with all manner of urological problems from the most routine to the most complex. If you have the need to discuss or seek advice or management for any urological problems you should expect an open dialogue, a friendly and understanding discussion without use of medical jargon and above all plenty of experience to guide you through what could be a very stressful situation. This is what Dr Samali promises to bring to the table.
