Reginald Wyndham Lloyd Davies (1934-25 March 2023) was a British urologist and head of clinical urology at St Thomas' Hospital, London, who completed early studies of the bladder epithelium with an electron microscope.

He co-authored A Colour Atlas of Urology, first published in 1983.

Early life and education

Wyndham Lloyd-Davies was born in 1934 and spent his childhood in Wolverhampton.[1] He completed his early education from Rugby school, where he sustained a fracture of the tibia during a rugby game; the injury kept him confined for a year.[1] In 1952, he gained admission to study medicine at St Thomas' Hospital.[1]

Career

At St Thomas' Lloyd-Davies assisted in setting up a dialysis unit.[1] He gained a Master of Science degree after completing a year of research in San Francisco.[1] There, in 1970 with Frank Hinman and in collaboration with the Donner Laboratory, University of California, he completed early studies of the bladder epithelium with an scanning electron microscope, comparing its appearance to the moon's surface.[2][3] They photographed the surface of the bladder and urethra at a magnification of 30,000 times, and found it to be far from regular.[2][4] They noted that the irregularity became exacerbated by infection, hindering washout.[2] They found that the irregularities resolved with urethral and bladder distension.[2][4]

He later became head of clinical urology at St Thomas' and was on the list of honorary medical staff at King Edward VII's Hospital.[5]

He co-authored A Colour Atlas of Urology, first published in 1983.[6] It contains images including those of pathological specimens, photographs of the bladder at endoscopy and diagrams that explain diagnostic procedures.[7] 70 images relate to lesions of the penis and scrotum.[7]

Personal and family

From his first marriage to Elizabeth he had two daughters; Vanessa Lloyd-Davies, a Major in the RAMC, and Fiona, a documentary film maker.[1]

Death

Lloyd-Davies died from metastatic pancreatic cancer on 25 March 2023, aged 88.[1]
