About me

My main interest is laser prostate surgery and currently I have performed the highest number of 50 Watt laser prostatectomies (HoLEP) in the UK (over 800 cases) with excellent outcomes. I have presented my outcome data at national and international meetings (Europe, USA and UK) given the advantage of laser surgery and patient benefits over the traditional electrocautery surgery (TURP) and am a national mentor for laser prostate surgery around the UK. Furthermore, I am the course director for a laser prostate surgery Masterclass that I run twice yearly for Consultants who wish to learn this technique. In addition, I offer laser stone surgery and the breadth of diagnostic urology services including prostate cancer detection (PSA testing and MRI scans) and investigation of blood in the urine (haematuria) along with core urological conditions such as male and female urinary tract infections, inguino-scrotal surgery, circumcisions and continence.

Research interests

I have collected extensive outcome data as the lead centre in the UK for 50 Watt laser prostate surgery. To date I have completed over 800 such cases, the highest in the UK, (NHS & private sector) and I provide mentorship to surgeons in the UK for this technique. I run a twice yearly Laser Prostate Surgery Masterclass demonstrating and teaching the technique to UK & Irish Consultants and our unit is the reference centre in 50 Watt laser prostate surgery.

In the past investigated the spatial anatomy of penile nerves responsible for erections in relation to their better preservation during complex prostate cancer surgery. At present collect outcome data across all our practice to highlight the cost-effective delivery of a high quality service in the NHS.

Personal interests

Enjoy relaxing with my family and spending time together, often on long walks, given my busy NHS and private practice schedule.

Keen desire one day to complete a private pilots licence (PPL), having had lessons, and to uphold a strong family tradition whereupon both my father and uncle held this many years back.
