Kapil is a Melbourne-trained urologist with expertise in a wide variety of general and specialised urological care.
He has a postgraduate doctorate from the University of Melbourne for his research in kidney cancer and is a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
Education & Training
Kapil has particular expertise in Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP), having undertaken advanced fellowship training under Professor Andreas Gross in Hamburg — a global leader in minimally invasive urology. He is recognised for his skill in delivering the full spectrum of minimally invasive BPH treatments, including HoLEP laser prostate surgery and Rezum steam therapy. He also specialises in robotic-assisted urological surgery for kidney and prostate conditions, using advanced technology to maximise precision and recovery.
His sub-specialty training includes a fellowship at the Austin Hospital and overseas fellowships in Germany and the UK. In Hamburg, he was the first Australasian-trained Robotics fellow at the Martini Klinik, the world’s highest-volume prostate cancer robotic surgery centre (performing over 2,500 cases annually). He later completed a further robotic fellowship at the highly regarded Stepping Hill Hospital in Manchester.
Other Achievements
Kapil has volunteered as a doctor for asylum seekers with no other access to medical care in Melbourne. He was awarded the Villis Marshall prize for best scientific research by the Urological Society of ANZ, the Austin Prize in Surgery for research, and he has also presented his work internationally. Kapil has authored many peer-reviewed papers and is a reviewer for internationally recognised urology journals.
He is a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Melbourne across three hospital campuses and is actively involved in state cancer strategy advisory groups. He has introduced new BPH technology programs into a number of tertiary Melbourne hospitals, taught other urologists HoLEP and robotic surgery, and is considered a key opinion leader in this space.
