Clinical interests
Mr Elfar is a highly experienced Consultant Urological Surgeon with over 25 years of specialist practice in urology, providing expert, patient-centred care across both the NHS and private sector in the North West of England. He is based at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is recognised for delivering advanced, minimally invasive urological surgery with consistently excellent clinical outcomes.
His practice covers the full spectrum of modern urology, with particular expertise in urological cancers (prostate, bladder and kidney), complex stone disease, benign prostate conditions, female recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and the management of chronic pelvic and testicular pain in men. He has a strong reputation for providing rapid diagnosis and definitive treatment using the latest evidence-based techniques, with a focus on minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, and high patient satisfaction.
Mr Elfar has extensive experience in modern prostate cancer diagnostics and treatment pathways, including MRI-led assessment, transperineal prostate biopsy under local anaesthesia, and targeted cancer detection strategies. He is also highly experienced in advanced endoscopic and laser techniques for bladder and upper urinary tract cancers.
In the treatment of kidney stones and complex stone disease, he routinely performs flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), laser stone fragmentation, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), offering patients highly effective, minimally invasive alternatives to open surgery.
For benign prostate enlargement, he offers a full range of modern treatment options including TURP, laser prostate surgery, and plasma vaporisation techniques, tailored to individual patient needs and lifestyle goals.
He also has experience in the assessment and management of female recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), providing structured evaluation and tailored treatment strategies for patients with persistent or recurrent infections.
Patient-Focused Care
Mr Elfar is committed to delivering a modern, discreet, and highly personalised private urology service. He is known for clear communication, thorough assessment, and shared decision-making, ensuring patients fully understand their condition and treatment options.
His philosophy is simple: to combine surgical excellence with compassion, clarity, and the most advanced minimally invasive techniques available - delivering the best possible outcomes with minimal disruption to patients’ lives.
Professional Memberships
• Member of the British association of Urological surgeons (BAUS) • Member of the urological association of Urology (EAU) • Member of The Endourology society • Medical protection Society (MOS)
Academic Background
He completed advanced fellowship training in complex stone surgery and laparoscopic urology at Eastbourne District General Hospital, a high-volume tertiary referral centre for urological cancer and stone disease. Earlier training at Cairo University Hospitals provided extensive exposure to reconstructive urology, paediatric urology, and major open surgical procedures, forming the foundation of his broad surgical expertise.
Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Elfar has held senior leadership roles in regional and national urology services. He served for over six years as Chair of the Merseyside and Cheshire Urology Cancer Care Quality Group, where he led major service improvements including streamlined prostate cancer diagnostic pathways, regional MRI reporting standards, rapid access cancer services, and innovative remote follow-up programmes.
At national level, he contributes as a Committee Member and Urology Expert on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee (IPAC), helping to evaluate and guide the safe introduction of new surgical technologies within the NHS.
He holds a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from Queen’s University Belfast, with a research focus on prostate cancer epigenetics, tumour biomarkers, and molecular pathology. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and presented widely at national and international conferences.
