Dr David Ende is a Specialist Urologist with current appointments at St Vincent’s General Hospital, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and Clinic, Norwest Private Hospital, Blacktown Hospital (South Western Area Health) and Westmead Private Hospital.
Dr Ende completed his Urological training in 2000. He also completed a PhD in Cancer Medicine at Sydney University in 1996. His research focused on magnetic resonance spectroscopy in evaluating the biochemical changes in colonic polyps and cancers.
His interests include benign and malignant prostate disease, voiding dysfunction in men and women, stone disease/laser surgery. Dr Ende also has experience with bladder cancers and neo-bladder formation.
Dr Ende performs Robotic and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for prostate and kidney cancers.
Dr Ende also participates in medical education as an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Notre Dame in Sydney, as well as Urology registrar training and lectures for nursing staff. Other interests include ongoing research into prostate cancer.
He has also been involved in both the state and federal committees of the Urology Society Of Australia and New Zealand.

Dr Ende has recently been involved in several studies:
A multicentre, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose-response study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single treatment of Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) purified Neurotoxin Complex injected into the prostate for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Dr Ende has also presented on multiple urological topics including stone disease, bladder cancer, prostate cancer and men’s health to various forums in both hospital and the public arena.
