I have now seen Professor PS twice and could not have been more impressed. His expertise is beyond doubt but he also manages to convey important information in a way that is both calming and easy to understand. He is also supported by an excellent team. Indeed, on my recent visit to the LSDC London clinic, his reception manager went out of her way to ensure i could have tests taken the same day.

Prof PS was wonderful to have as my urologist. After an abnormal finding on a whole-body screening, I knew immediately that I wanted Prof PS to review my case. My initial consultation took place over the Christmas period, and I was extremely fortunate that Simmon (PA) managed to schedule a last-minute appointment despite the holiday period. Thanks to this, I was able to see Prof PS promptly and had a follow-up MRI arranged within just 3–4 days, which was especially impressive given the time of year. I am very happy with the excellent service, efficiency, and level of care I received. I highly recommend Prof PS and the team.

Being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer isn't much fun, even when you're told it is low grade stage 2, and shouldn't cause you any problems. Finding out it is actually locally advanced stage 3 is distinctly unsettling! Luckily for me, I only found out the second part by getting myself referred to Prof PS, who removed the offending tumour for me. I cannot praise PS and his team, and the care I received from them, highly enough. He inspired confidence from the moment I first met him, and dealt with my cancer in a very matter of fact, down to earth way, putting me at ease throughout the whole experience.

It was a short but as excellent of an experience as one would hope for when receiving high PSA results. The secretarial team of Prof PS was extremely responsive, including after hours. Prof PS took the matter seriously and head on, without wasting any time. He was also clear in explaining various steps. It meant a lot that he was clearly looking for the best interest of his patient and to get ahead of any problem. 5 stars every step of the way.

It is difficult to put into words how knowledgeable and skilful a surgeon Prof PS is, it is unlikely that one could find better care anywhere else.

Excellent care from Prof PS. I always felt very reassured from my first consultation right through to post-op care. The operation went very well and my rate of recovery is better than expected. Thank you so much Prof PS!

I have to say that my overall experience has been excellent. I went into this procedure full of concern mainly due to the fact that I am still relatively young at age 51 and Prof Prasanna directed me towards the right procedure for my condition of an enlarged prostate. I have undergone an Aquablation procedure and the outcome and recovery has been good. Highly recommended!

Prostate Cancer Surgery Options
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
A minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure used to remove the prostate with a high degree of precision. This approach allows the surgeon to operate with enhanced visualisation and control, which can support improved surgical accuracy. For suitable patients, robotic prostatectomy is associated with reduced blood loss, smaller incisions, and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional open surgery. It remains the standard surgical approach for many men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
Retzius-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy
An advanced variation of robotic prostatectomy that uses a different anatomical pathway to access the prostate. By avoiding disruption of key supporting structures, this technique is designed to support improved early recovery following surgery. For selected patients, this approach has been associated with faster return of urinary continence, while maintaining the principles of effective cancer control. It is a highly specialised technique performed by surgeons with specific expertise in this method.
Nerve-Sparing Prostatectomy
A specialised surgical approach focused on preserving the delicate nerves responsible for urinary control and erectile function. These structures run very close to the prostate and require careful handling during surgery. Where clinically appropriate, nerve-sparing techniques are used to help maintain quality of life after treatment. The decision to preserve nerves depends on cancer characteristics and safety, with the priority always being complete cancer removal.
