Consultants with a proven track record
A group of eminent consultant surgeons
Santis’ prostate cancer surgeons are among the most experienced consultants in the world and have recently been voted by their peers as the best urologists in Britain. Santis is the only clinic where all its surgeons have made this List, a testament to their technical expertise and skill, and their pioneering treatments. London Bridge Hospital are proud to work with Professor Christopher Eden and Mr Declan Cahill.
The most advanced equipment in these surgeons’ skilled hands
Dedicated to innovation
Robotic radical prostatectomy
Since pioneering radical prostatectomy in the UK in 2001, Santis consultants have carried out over 7,000 procedures. The team exclusively offers robotically-assisted radical prostatectomy, also known as RARP, a type of minimally invasive laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. During the procedure, the prostate is removed using five small cuts in the lower abdomen. This means clients can expect a quicker recovery time compared to traditional ‘open’ surgery. Lymph nodes are also removed in more advanced prostate cancers.
For robotic radical prostatectomy, Mr Cahill’s results are equivalent to the best-published results in the world for cancer margins, continence and potency. He operates on more than 100 patients with prostate cancer each year, ranking him among the highest volume prostate surgeons in the UK.
