About

Mr Shaw offers services in most areas of Urological practice, offering an opinion across a range of problems. He specialises in prostate assessment, prostate surgery and complex renal stone surgery using the latest minimally invasive techniques. He is a high volume prostate surgeon using medicine-based and endoscopic management techniques such as holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and the minimally invasive technique, Rezum. Mr Shaw is a leading kidney stone surgeon who performs a range of laser-assisted minimally invasive techniques, together with percutaneous (through a skin puncture) surgery and non-invasive external shockwave lithotripsy.

Mr Shaw graduated from the University of Oxford (Oriel College) before completing a Urology research fellowship at The James Whitcomb Riley Children’s Hospital, Indiana University, USA. His Doctorate was performed in the development of the obstructed bladder, a topic relevant to both adults and children. He received his specialist Urology training in the North East of England and was appointed Consultant Urological Surgeon in 2009.

Mr Shaw has worked with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the creation of National quality standards for the management of male urinary symptoms together with advising on the role of metallic ureteric stents and prostate biopsy techniques used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. He has a particular interest in surgical innovation and research. He has introduced several minimally-invasive surgical procedures to the region, including HoLEP and the prostate steam treatment, Rezum. He is widely published in the International Medical Literature, with publications & presentations relating to the development of the obstructed bladder, stone surgery and ureteric stricture management. He is currently Principal Investigator on the NIHR-sponsored PETS trial, looking at factors affecting thromboembolism in surgery.

Mr Shaw also works at Wansbeck General Hospital, Ashington where he treats male and female bladder problems, prostate disease (benign and malignant), penile and scrotal problems, kidney stones and incontinence.

Mr Shaw spends his spare time outdoors with his family, both in the countryside and his garden. He loves cycling, running, gardening and keeps Japanese Koi carp.
