Prof. Addla in surgical scrubs A word from Dr. Sanjai

When patients come to see me, they often carry worries in their hearts. They wonder if they will get better, and if they will enjoy the simple things in life again, like seeing their family smile. There is one thing I remind every patient: hope is real. It is my job as a doctor to help make that hope a reality, and together, we will.

Robotic cancer surgery

Organ function protected wherever possible.

Prof. Addla specialises in surgical treatment for cancers of the prostate, kidney and bladder, using the robotic system for precision in small spaces.

Prostate250+ in the UK

Robotic prostatectomy

Removal of the prostate for localised prostate cancer, with nerve-sparing technique where it is safe, to protect urinary control and sexual function.

Robotic surgical instruments
Robotic instruments: wristed tips that move with more freedom than the human hand.
Kidney150+ in the UK

Robotic partial nephrectomy

Removes the kidney tumour and saves the healthy part of the kidney. Radical nephrectomy when the whole kidney must be removed.

BladderMDT planned

Robotic bladder surgery

Robotic cystectomy for bladder cancer, with reconstruction of the urinary passage, planned with the multidisciplinary cancer team.

Prof. Addla with his surgical team
Every case is planned with a multidisciplinary team.
AdrenalKeyhole

Robotic adrenal surgery

Minimally invasive removal of adrenal tumours, using robotic precision in a hard-to-reach area, with less pain after surgery.

General urology

Prostate problems

The commonest cause of an enlarged prostate is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement that causes weak flow and frequent urination.

Urinary infections

Urinary tract infections are common and troublesome. Repeated infections need proper evaluation.

Erectile dysfunction

Confidential assessment and treatment options, including recovery after prostate surgery.

Kidney & ureteric stones

Small stones in the kidney or ureter cause pain and blockage. Treatment depends on the stone's size and position.

Know cancer

Early signs are easy to miss.

Urological cancers caught early can often be treated with keyhole robotic surgery, and kidneys can often be saved. These are the signs to act on.

Blood in the urine is never normal.

Even once, even without pain. It can be the first sign of bladder or kidney cancer and should always be checked by a urologist.

Haematuria

Blood in urine

Visible in the urine, or found only on a urine test.

Look for
Red, pink or cola-coloured urine
Next step
Urine tests, scan and cystoscopy
Prostate

Prostate cancer

Often causes no symptoms early, so testing matters for men over 50 or with a family history.

Look for
Raised PSA, urinary changes
Next step
PSA test, MRI, biopsy
Renal

Kidney cancer

Often found by chance on a scan done for another reason. Small tumours can often be removed while saving the kidney.

Look for
Blood in urine, flank pain, a lump
Next step
CT scan and specialist review
