Special interests
Dr Malone has a special interest in prosthetic surgery for severe impotence and urinary incontinence in men. For more information on penile prosthesis surgery, please visit his website Penile Prosthesis Doctor or watch the video available here.
Dr Malone performed the first robotic partial nephrectomy (kidney preservation surgery for renal cancer) in Queensland in 2010, and has now applied this surgical approach to more than 80 complex renal cancer patients. This surgical approach is also utilised for total nephrectomy plus nephroureterectomy for differing forms of kidney and urinary tract cancer.
Dr Malone also uses the Da Vinci robotic surgical system in the management of other cancerous and benign urological conditions such as Robotic Vasectomy Reversal.
