Results
We feel it is important for any Surgeon to know his or her results and be able to communicate these effectively to any patient. Very few surgeons do this.
Surgeons with more experience and higher volumes tend to have better results.
Mr Eddy has collected and knows his results in detail.

About
Patients looking for a Surgeon for any operation should ask for those results and ask if they have been presented or published but not all surgeons collect their own outcomes. In addition only very few Surgeons who perform Robotic Prostatectomy have presented or published their results, it’s important for patients to look for these surgeons. Mr Eddy has always collected prospective data on his outcomes and below you will find results and where they have been presented or published.
Outcomes of Robotic Prostatectomy surgery are measured in many ways, operative times, complications, reoperations, hospital stay and readmissions. But also pathological data including what’s called positive margins or cancer at the edge of the specimen and also long term outcomes including recovery of continence, erectile function, cancer recurrence and the need for second line treatments.
