Treatments

PSA, or Prostate Specific Antigen, is an enzyme made by the prostate. It is present in low levels in all men (except those who have had their prostate removed!). Elevated levels of PSA in the blood are found in benign prostate enlargement, prostate inflammation & in prostate cancer. It can be difficult to distinguish between these causes without specialist knowledge or skills.

Drug treatments can help many people with prostate problems, especially those with relatively mild symptoms. Drugs can be used to improve flow & reduce the size of the prostate. Other drugs can help reduce frequency & the urgent need to pass urine.

Benign prostate enlargement can cause bothersome urinary symptoms. These may respond to drug treatments but surgical options can give better, long-lasting improvements.

Now there are more treatments available it’s important to find the treatment that suits you. Whether it’s TURP/TURIS or laser or UroLift we have years of experience in treating urinary symptoms due to benign prostate enlargement.

Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) using the da vinci surgical robot has become the gold standard surgical treatment for prostate cancer, allowing the surgeon to more accurately & precisely perform surgery. This means better outcomes for patients with shorter hospital stays (now usually just 1 night) & lower complication rates.

I helped bring the da vinci robot to Eastbourne & performed the first robotic prostatectomy in Sussex in 2015.
