Mr Antoine Kass-Iliyya is a highly skilled consultant urological surgeon based in York who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract stones, including kidney, ureter and bladder stones. With over 15 years’ experience, Mr Kass Iliyya is also an expert in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, trans perineal biopsy procedures of the prostate, bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as andrology (erectile dysfunction) and the initial assessment of incontinence. He sees private patients at Nuffield Health York Hospital.

Mr Kass-Iliyya originally qualified from the University of Aleppo in 2004. He completed his basic surgical training in Staffordshire, Darlington, Stockton on Tees and Middlesbrough before going on to accomplish higher specialist training across Swindon, London, York, Bristol and Plymouth, acquiring vast experience in all aspects of general urology, stone disease and benign and malignant prostate disorders.
