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.

Aquablation therapy
Aquablation therapy is the latest advancement in surgical treatment for conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
At HCA UK we use the AquaBeam robotic system, a heat-free robotic system that uses advanced surgical mapping to create a bespoke surgical plan, and real-time imaging to safely remove enlarged prostate tissue, offering relief from urinary symptoms while preserving urinary and sexual function.
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.
