at The London Clinic

graphic scenes of a surgical nature
The London Clinic is one of Europe's
busiest robotic surgery centres with over 500 robotic
prostatectomies performed here since November 2005.
The da Vinci® Surgical System is the
latest advancement in high definition technology which enables our
surgeons to treat prostate cancer by removing the prostate
laparoscopically. They carry out this extremely precise
surgery through tiny surgical openings called 'ports' or
'keyholes.' For the majority of patients, this could mean less pain
and blood loss following surgery and a faster recovery compared to
conventional open surgery. Recent studies also suggest that the da
Vinci S-HD® prostatectomy may reduce the risk of urinary
incontinence and erectile dysfunction following surgery.
Why choose The London Clinic?
The da Vinci® Surgical System has been successfully
used in thousands of prostate procedures world-wide. However, our
‘robot’ at The London Clinic - affectionately known as ‘Leonardo’ -
is one of only a few currently available in the UK.
