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.
