Face to Face with Chris Heyns.wmv

Face to Face is a monthly interview series with personalities in the urology field. As a successor to BJUI's Conversations, Face to Face is patterned after the highly-acclaimed BBC television series of the same name where former British politician John Freeman interviewed famous men and women with an insightful and probing style.

In this edition of Face to Face, I talk with Chris Heyns, who has been head of the Department of Urology at Tygerberg Hospital since 1995. In addition, he is President of the College of Urologists of South Africa, a position he was elected to in 2000. Prof. Heyns obtained his medical degrees (MB ChB) in 1973 and completed a Master of Medicine degree in Urology at the University of Stellenbosch in 1986. His PhD thesis in 1990 dealt with testicular descent in the fetus and the aetiology of cryptorchidism. His current research interests include urological oncology, urethral stricture disease and urogenital trauma. Recently, I interviewed him from his office in Parow, Cape Town.
