Medical expertise in Urology


Vaginal mesh complications, TVT / TOT

Having led a complex Female Urology / Urogynaecology service for over a decade, Mr Moore is highly experienced in the management of complications arising from vaginal mesh devices such as TVT and TOT.  He has provided a substantial number of expert reports and has advised a number of leading UK clinical negligence firms on class action cases.

Obstetric and Gynaecological Injuries to Bladder and Ureter

Mr Moore provides a regional reconstructive urology service assessing and treating women who have sustained injuries during childbirth, Caesarean Section and hysterectomy.  He has provided many Expert reports in this area and recognises the complex and substantial aspects of permanent harm and suffering that result.

Bladder Overdistension Injury

Mr Moore regularly provides care for women who have sustained bladder overdistension injuries after pelvic surgery, Caesarean Section or vaginal delivery. Prolonged bladder can rapidly cause permanent voiding dysfunction with lifelong consequences. He has given expert opinion on a large number of such cases, often resulting in substantial quantum.

Genitourinary trauma, Pelvic Fracture

Mr Moore is regularly instructed by specialist injury lawyers and has a clear understanding of the long term effects of pelvic injury on bladder and sexual function in men and women.

Neurological Trauma, Head Injury / Spinal Cord Injury

Mr Moore is fellowship trained in neurourology and cares for a large population of urology patients with chronic neuropathic bladders.  He routinely advises both claimant and defendant in cases of spinal and brain injury.

Cauda Equina Syndrome

Mr Moore regularly manages patients suffering from the urological consequences that result from the delayed diagnosis of CES. He understands the often devastating lifelong consequences of bladder failure associated with CES and the variable natural history of the condition.

Diagnostic and treatment delay

Mr Moore works in a busy District General Hospital and is responsible for both emergency and diagnostic services in general urology. He has provided expert opinion on a wide variety of general urological matters which although straightforward are often highly litigious:

  • Delayed diagnosis of testicular torsion.
  • Inadequate evaluation of haematuria.
  • Circumcision.
  • UTI and postoperative urinary sepsis.
  • Forgotten ureteric stents.
  • Incontinence after urology surgery.
