Mr Rowland Rees is a Consultant Urological Surgeon and Andrologist at Welbeck’s Urology and Men's Health centres in London, specialising in male reproductive and sexual health. He has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, male infertility and urinary incontinence. His practice also covers urethral strictures (narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body), varicoceles, hydroceles, scrotal lumps and swellings, and foreskin problems.

Mr Rees offers a wide range of specialist reconstructive and prosthetic procedures, performing more than 300 operations each year. These include urethroplasty and Optilume Treatment to treat narrowing of the urethra, penile implants for erectile dysfunction and vasectomy reversal to restore fertility. He also performs micro-TESE to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles, Nesbit and Lue procedures to correct penile curvature, and surgery for male urinary incontinence using artificial urinary sphincters or male slings. His approach focuses on selecting the most appropriate treatment for each patient's condition and individual needs.

Alongside his private practice, Mr Rees leads a specialist men's health clinic at University Hospital Southampton and is an Honorary Consultant at University College London Hospital (UCLH). He has led the regional andrology service for Wessex for more than a decade and provides a specialist service at UCLH for penile cancer and penile prosthesis surgery, supporting patients referred with complex conditions.
