The FRCS (Urol) syllabus in bite-sized episodes, one topic at a time, each about fifteen minutes. Written by a urology registrar sitting the exam and grounded in current EAU, NICE and BAUS guidance, so what you hear is what the exam actually rewards. Revise on the commute, on the ward round, or in the last three days before the paper. These episodes are free. The full library of 30+ episodes, the original SBA question bank, the guideline-cited crib sheets and the live AI viva examiner are at thamesuro.com.

Episodes

  1. Sep 20

    Start here: prostate cancer, from screening to recurrence

    The best place to begin: the highest-yield topic in the exam, at the pace the rest of the series runs. What the screening trials really show and why they only look contradictory, the MRI-first pathway and biparametric scanning, why the biopsy left the operating theatre, the T2 change people miss, who actually needs staging imaging, why three surgery-versus-monitoring trials disagree, when a benign biopsy is not reassuring, and the two recurrence definitions you must not mix up.

  2. Sep 19

    Bladder cancer and upper tract TCC

    The haematuria pathway now it is risk-stratified, why the chest scan you were taught to order has largely gone, where NICE and the EAU genuinely disagree on follow-up, what counts as BCG failure and what you can offer when it happens, muscle-invasive disease including the chemotherapy substitution that costs a cure, first-line metastatic treatment, who needs a second resection, and why the upper tract behaves differently.

  3. Sep 18

    Kidney and adrenal: the small renal mass and the incidentaloma

    Choosing by the patient rather than the tumour in the small renal mass, what the Bosniak system is actually measuring and where surgery overtreats, when a biopsy helps and the scan that reads mitochondria, the one piece of biology that explains why the drugs work, why removing the kidney in metastatic disease is no longer automatic, and a safe approach to the adrenal incidentaloma.

  4. Sep 17

    Stone disease: acute management to metabolic prevention

    The infected obstructed kidney and the stent you should not place, why five to six millimetres decides so much, why you should not believe a patient who says the stone has passed, what the expulsive therapy evidence really says, what PUrE changed for lower pole stones, how the rules reverse in pregnancy, why restricting dietary calcium makes things worse, and the two stones where chemistry is the treatment.

  5. Sep 16

    Testicular cancer: the small mass, markers and treatment

    The impalpable lesion on a scan and whether he needs to lose a testis to find out, tumour markers that mislead in both directions, fertility and the retrieval option people forget, how the prognostic groups actually work, stage one and the surveillance-or-treat decision, what to do with what is left after chemotherapy, the lumps that are not germ cell tumours, and why a node dissection costs ejaculation.

  6. Sep 15

    BPH and male LUTS: assessment to intervention

    What you want at the first appointment and what you do not, how a flow meter works and how to read the trace, what the flow number really tells you about obstruction, the medical therapy trials worth quoting, the surgical trade-off between keeping ejaculation and how long the operation lasts, the reoperation rates that settle it, and the man in chronic retention where the question is when, not whether.

  7. Sep 14

    Urological trauma: kidney, bladder and urethra

    What drives management before any grading, how to answer on the AAST scale and what the 2025 revision changed, what you are actually trying to achieve when you open a bleeding kidney, ureteric injury and its damage-control option, the pelvic fracture patterns that should make you look at the bladder, and the urethral and genital injuries that turn up in the viva as much as the paper.
