Outstanding urology services at London Bridge Hospital
Urology is the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the male genitourinary tract and female urinary organs. London Bridge Hospital has an extensive service within this very personalised and diverse field of medicine. Here we attract some of the leading urological and genitourinary consultants in the country. In order to support these consultants at the height of their clinical practice, London Bridge Hospital provides outstanding facilities for all conditions and treatment, from the routine to the highly complex and rare.
Our patients have rapid access to consultations, screening, diagnosis and treatment for the full range of conditions, including the bladder and kidneys, prostate and the male reproductive system. Our consultants, often from London’s distinguished teaching hospitals, are among London’s clinical leaders in their urological subspecialty. These consultants continue to improve outcomes for our patients by using the latest proven, ever-more-precise techniques, including advanced robotics and laparoscopy.

Inpatients at our Private Care at Guy’s centre

Featuring theatres, chemotherapy bays, oncology and surgical wards, and a four-bed intensive care unit – with an intensive care consultant resident 24 hours a day – we can offer a level of support rarely found in private hospitals.
On site is the da Vinci® Xi Surgical System: a robot helping surgeons to perform the most complex, delicate procedures. Our urology team features some of the most experienced robotic surgeons in the UK and, unusually for a private hospital, a robotic surgical assistant present on site too.

Robotics technology
We are dedicated to investing in the latest technology to enable surgeons to perform the latest procedures such as the da Vinci® Xi robot at Private Care at Guy’s. Its dual console system allows surgeons even greater control and enhanced vision whilst performing keyhole surgery. It features intra-operative ultrasound and the Firefly® system for intra-operative identification of tissue vascularity.
