Professional profile

I have been a Consultant Urologist for 15 years working in one of the biggest cancer centres in the UK. I am one of the few (if only) surgeons who has performed over 3,000 radical prostatectomies with all three main approaches: robotic, laparoscopic and open. I specialise in nerve sparing and have a tract record or being able to maintain potency in up to 80% of patients.

I also treat benign prostatic diseases, being well known for my enthusiasm for Greenlight Laser but also recognising and using the new technologies such as UROLIFT, a first-line treatment that gets men off BPH medications and allows them to avoid major surgery as well as the more traditional but effective Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).

I am well known for an enthusiasm for PSA screening, but not for prostate biopsy. I am an advocate of pre biopsy MRI. PCA-3 urine gene testing. I provide an MRI fusion mapping template prostate biopsy service.

I am one of the two recognised invasive bladder cancer surgeons at UHB, with one of the largest experience in neobladders.

I also carry out the Rezum procedure, a new treatment for the common problem of enlargement of the prostate.
