A prostate cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and understanding your treatment options is an important step in making informed decisions. One of the most advanced surgical treatments available today is the radical robotic prostatectomy. But what exactly does that mean—and what sets it apart from traditional surgery? In this post, I will break down the […]

Robotic prostatectomy, also known as robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, is a minimally invasive surgery for treating localised prostate cancer. With its precise instruments and advanced visualisation, robotic surgery has become a preferred choice for many patients seeking effective cancer treatment with reduced side effects. Professor Prokar Dasgupta uses state-of-the-art robotic techniques to achieve excellent outcomes in […]

Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure for treating prostate cancer. With its precision and advanced nerve-sparing techniques, it aims to remove the prostate while preserving urinary and sexual function. Understanding what to expect after surgery is crucial for recovery and achieving the best results. Professor Prokar Dasgupta provides expert care for men undergoing robotic […]

One of the most important considerations in prostate cancer surgery is preserving urinary continence and sexual function while ensuring complete cancer removal. Professor Prokar Dasgupta has pioneered a technique known as SAFE (Saline-Assisted Fascial Exposure) to improve nerve-sparing outcomes during robotic prostatectomy. This blog explains what the SAFE technique is, how it works, and why […]

Robotic prostatectomy, also called robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical technique for treating prostate cancer. Professor Prokar Dasgupta—a leading robotic urology surgeon—has pioneered techniques that combine precision, safety, and faster recovery. This guide explains what patients should know about the procedure, benefits, risks, and recovery. What is Robotic Prostatectomy? Robotic prostatectomy involves removing […]

Prostatectomy, the surgical removal of the prostate gland, is a common treatment for prostate cancer. Patients today can often choose between robot-assisted (robotic) prostatectomy and open prostatectomy. Understanding the differences in procedure, recovery, and outcomes can help patients make informed decisions. Professor Prokar Dasgupta – an expert in robotic urology – offers insights into both […]

Robotic prostatectomy (also called robot-assisted radical prostatectomy) is one of the most advanced surgical techniques for prostate cancer. Professor Prokar Dasgupta—an internationally recognised pioneer of robotic urology—provides expertise in this field. Here we answer the most frequently asked questions from patients considering robotic prostatectomy. What is a robotic prostatectomy? Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive […]

Q: I’ve heard about the PSA test. Isn’t that enough?The PSA blood test has been an important tool for checking prostate health, but it is not perfect. Some aggressive prostate cancers don’t raise PSA at all, so results can look “normal” even when cancer is there. On the other hand, many men with raised PSA […]

A new collaboration with Nonacus Clinical Services enables The London Clinic to offer patients a non-invasive means to test for bladder cancer. May 2025 – Nonacus Clinical Services, the UK laboratory delivering genomic cancer testing services to the NHS and private healthcare providers, is working with The London Clinic to help more patients benefit from […]

In response to recent increased interest about prostate cancer with Sir Chris Hoy’s diagnosis that had spread, we has launched a smart screening program for this disease. There is currently no national screening program because of concerns regarding overdiagnosis of prostate cancer. Smart Screening would involve a blood test called PSA profile, a urine analysis, […]
