During his undergraduate career, he was awarded an intercalated 1st Class(Hons) Pathology BSc. Over the subsequent decade he trained in General & Urological Surgery in the North West of England. He successfully completed the FRCS(Urol) examination and was awarded the Keith Yeates Gold Medal for outstanding performance in 2019. Sotonye's specialist interests include the treatment of kidney cancer and upper tract urothelial cancer using open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques. He also has interests in prostate cancer diagnostics and the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).Sotonye Tolofari was the Chairman of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Section of Trainees in 2020 and, as such, sat on the Speciality Advisory Committee (SAC) for Urology. He is the current Clinical Director for Urological Cancers in the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. He has an active involvement in research and quality improvement with multiple authored peer reviewed publications and learning modules.

Mrs Dora Moon, MBChB FRCS(Urol), Consultant Urologist

Dora Moon studied Medicine at the University of Manchester, UK graduating in 2008. She developed a interest in basic science research, further developing this whilst working as a research associate at The University of Vermont College of Medicine in the USA.

Her post-graduate surgical training was based in the North West of England, during which she sat as treasurer and committee member on the national urology trainee committee BSoT for 3 years. Dora works as an NHS consultant in Lancashire, offering a tertiary robotic surgery service for the treatment of renal cell and upper urothelial tract cancer, for patients in Lancashire and South Cumbria.

"The second edition of Imaging and Technology in Urology is a comprehensive 475-page book covering all aspects of urological technology, with contributions from UK-based urology and radiology colleagues. ... The individual chapters are concise, easy to read and well illustrated ... . the text acts as a handy reference manual to dip in and out of, to refresh knowledge on specific techniques, without needing to read the entire book from cover to cover."
