Dr. Amir Zarrabi’s Specialities
Oncology
Dr. Amir provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment options for prostate, kidney, penis, testicular, and bladder cancer.
Stones in the Kidney and Bladder
Built-up minerals in the kidneys or bladder can eventually turn into painful stones, which carry an additional risk of urinary blockages and infection. Dr. Amir offers minimally invasive bladder and kidney stones treatment that utilises cutting-edge laser technology.
Varicocele
Varicocele is the painful enlargement of the veins in the scrotum and may result in diminished sperm production in affected patients. We perform varicocele treatment through minimally invasive surgery that both enhances fertility and alleviates the associated pain.
Circumcision
We gladly perform circumcision for both medical and personal reasons using techniques that ensure maximal comfort, quick healing and an excellent cosmetic outcome.
Prostate Enlargement (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement, is a medical condition in which the prostate increases in size, which can lead in turn to a loss of bladder control and difficulties with urination. We treat BPH with medication, surgery, or minimally invasive therapies depending on every patient’s unique case.
Microsurgery for Male Infertility
Dr Amir’s expertise in male infertility microsurgery includes a wide variety of treatments to enable previously infertile men to become fathers. These include varicocele repair, sperm retrieval (micro-TESE) and delicate reconstruction procedures.
Reconstruction
Peyronie's disease is characterised by curved penile erections requiring corrective surgery, while damaged urethral structures may impede urine flow. We offer urethroplasty and other reconstructive surgical procedures aimed at relieving pain and restoring healthy organ function.
Vasectomy
A vasectomy procedure is a permanent contraception method that requires a surgeon to cut and seal the internal tubes that transport sperm. Dr. Amir is one of only a handful of specialists in New Zealand offering no-needle vasectomy, a less painful alternative to the traditional method.
