Peter Sutherland

Dr Peter Sutherland trained in Australia, the USA and the UK and has since gained over twenty five years experience in Urological practice. He is currently the Head of the Urology Department at Adelaide’s largest teaching hospital, The Royal Adelaide. With the University of Adelaide’s Department of Surgery, he manages a team of researchers offering trials of new drugs and techniques for many Urological conditions.

Dr Sutherland’s private practice in Adelaide incorporates Australasia’s first accredited stand-alone Urology Day Surgery. His particular areas of interest are prostate cancer, laser treatment of prostatic obstruction, kidney disease and erectile dysfunction.

Dr Sutherland was instrumental in leading the first surgical team to introduce robotic radical prostatectomy into the Australian public health system. He has performed over 750 da Vinci procedures and has been the leading mentor for Australian and New Zealand Urological surgeons whilst providing Robotic Fellowship training at The Royal Adelaide Hospital.

As a result of his dedication to research and education for erectile dysfunction, Dr Sutherland is an active member of a number of national advisory boards in Australia.
