Dr Kayvan Haghighi

Dr Haghighi is the Head of the Department of Urology at Campbelltown Hospital and the Head of the Medical Advisory Council at Cambelltown Private Hospital.  He also operates at Liverpool Hospital and Sydney Southwest Private Hospital.  Dr Haghighi consults in our offices at Campbelltown, SOMA at Gregory Hills, Bowral and Liverpool.

Dr Haghighi specialises in Robotic Surgery for Prostate and Kidney Cancer using the da Vinci Robot.  He honed his skills in this highly specialised area of Urology by undertaking an acclaimed International Fellowship followed by a da Vinci Robot Preceptorship in San Francisco.  Dr Haghighi has undertaken the most Urological Cancer operations in the Southwest of Sydney.

He is one of only two Urologists in the area who is able to offer Robotic Prostate and Kidney Cancer Surgery to both public and private patients through his appointments at Campbelltown Private and Liverpool Hospitals.  As Dr Haghighi is a very high volume Robotic Surgeon and was an early adopter of this challenging technique, he has been a proctor (surgical mentor) for other Urologists in the Southwest of Sydney and beyond.  In doing so he continues to pass on his expertise to Urologists who are less experienced, in order to assist them in developing their skills in Robotic Surgery.

Apart from his specialised practice in da Vinci Robotic Cancer Surgery, Dr Haghighi is also a proponent of the most innovative treatments for men with urinary problems especially due to an enlarged Prostate (BPH).  Dr Haghighi was a key player in establishing Laser Prostate Surgery for this condition at Campbelltown Private Hospital, following a Masterclass undertaken in Berlin, Germany.

Dr Haghighi also offers treatment for Kidney Stone disease and has been integral in the expansion of Campbelltown Hospital as one of the largest Kidney Stone Surgery units in Australia.  Furthermore, Dr Haghighi has a passion for Male Sexual Dysfunction and is a local expert in Penile Prosthesis Surgery for Erectile Dysfunction (including post Prostate Cancer Surgery) and Penile Reconstructive Surgery for Peyronie’s Disease (Penile Curvature).  He can also provide care for patients with blood in their urine (Haematuria), men who require a Vasectomy or Circumcision and Testicular complaints.

Whilst his patients are his driving passion, Dr Haghighi is also actively involved in Research and Education.  Before commencing as the Head of the Urology Department at Campbelltown Hospital, he was the Training and Education Representative for our Urology Trainees at both Liverpool and Campbelltown Hospitals.  Furthermore, he is internationally published and is actively involved in research through the Ingham Institute at Liverpool Hospital primarily in the field of the Patient Experience following a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer.
