An article in the Evening Standard this week announced that Londoners would now get ‘robotic’ cancer surgery for the first time.
At The Princess Grace Hospital we have been offering robotic surgery of the prostate since 2004 and were the first private hospital to offer this pioneering treatment. Consultant Urologist, Mr Chris Ogden, was the first doctor in the UK to be recognised to perform robotic prostatectomies and has since treated more than 800 patients.
The positive outcomes of this minimally invasive procedure are well recognised and Mr Ogden has published several papers to show the positive effect on patients requiring prostate surgery.
Robotically assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is at the cutting edge of prostate cancer treatment and has been shown to vastly reduce the risks of postoperative side effects such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction. It also has the benefit of being a minimally invasive technique that lessens postoperative pain and recovery time.
