Urology

At Cleveland Clinic London, we care for many genitourinary (also called urogenital) conditions. We offer groundbreaking, not widely available treatments that can lower the risk of side effects. We also perform other minimally invasive surgeries for prostate cancer and benign prostate diseases.

Among the common and complex conditions we treat are:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (enlarged prostate)
• Cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidneys
• Chronic kidney infections and urinary tract infections
• Erectile dysfunction
• Kidney stones
• Lumps, swellings or skin conditions of the testicles or penis
• Male infertility
• Overactive bladder
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Prostatitis
• Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels
• Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ), also known as pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction
• Urethral strictures

At Cleveland Clinic London, our experts combine skill and technology to offer urological cancer tests and treatments that match your needs. Options for urological cancers include:

Rapid prostate diagnostic clinic

Finding prostate cancer early gives you the best chance of successful treatment. If you are between 50 and 80 and have a raised PSA level, are over 40 with a family history of prostate or breast cancer, of Afro-Caribbean ethnicity or Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, you can book a consultation at our one-stop prostate health clinic.

Your visit will include an MRI scan, blood and urine tests and time with one of our urology consultants to talk through your results — all within about two hours. We are here to help you feel informed and supported. If we find any signs of prostate cancer, your consultant will recommend next steps.

Robotic cystectomy

Our internationally recognised bladder cancer surgeons perform this highly complex operation to remove your bladder. We may pair this procedure with something called an ileal conduit urinary diversion, which creates a new way for urine to pass out of your body after bladder removal. Or we may create a new bladder (neobladder) so you won’t have to have an external urine bag. Our specialists are among only a few surgeons in the U.K. to perform these complex procedures entirely robotically.

Robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) 

We can treat cancerous and noncancerous tumours with utmost precision using the latest robotic focal HIFU technology. This day case treatment destroys early-stage prostate cancer with concentrated ultrasound waves. Your consultant guides them using specialised imaging technology. This procedure eliminates the need for surgical incisions, resulting in minimal recovery time and fewer side effects.

Robotic nephrectomy

This procedure removes part or all of your kidney. We also use robotic or open techniques to perform a nephroureterectomy — a procedure to remove the renal pelvis, kidney, ureter and bladder cuff. Our team has extensive experience performing these procedures with consistently exceptional outcomes.  

Robotic prostatectomy

This minimally invasive robotic surgery allows your surgeon to use robotic equipment to remove your prostate. This can result in a shorter recovery, fewer complications and a reduced hospital stay. Using specialised robotic techniques can often prevent side effects like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT)

In this minimally invasive surgery, your surgeon removes early-stage bladder cancers through your urethra. With this option, your surgeon typically doesn’t need to completely remove your bladder.
