Professional statement
*Please note that Mr Laniado is still consulting (both face-to-face and remotely) during COVID-19*
Mr Marc Laniado offers men with prostate enlargement or early prostate cancer treatments that benefit with less chance of side-effects. He uses the most advanced techniques that have a consistently better success rate. These are personalised to the individual needs and values of each man he sees.
Prostate cancer:
- highly accurate diagnostic tests with the least side-effects (enhanced MRI, transperineal prostate biopsies, and genomic testing)
- treatments for early prostate cancer that can preserve bladder control and erections more consistently than conventional treatments (focal therapy by HIFU, Retzius-sparing prostatectomy with nerve-sparing (NeuroSAFE), and seeds, a.ka. brachytherapy)
- active surveillance: close monitoring for men who do not need immediate treatment
Prostate Enlargement (BPH):
- minimally invasive treatments for small to medium-sized prostate that can improve urinary symptoms and maintain erections & ejaculation (Rezum and UroLift)
- treatments for large prostates that improve urinary symptoms with a faster and more comfortable recovery (Aquablation, laser prostatectomy, HoLEP)
- assessment for Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)
He is a highly experienced urologist and works full time in the direct clinical care of men with prostate problems. Annually, he performs about 100 Retzius-sparing prostatectomies, as well as HIFU, and 100 or more treatments for BPH.
He is the joint chairman of the prostate cancer multidisciplinary team for private patients at the Wellington Hospital and the Princess Grace Hospital where he operates and sees patients. He also sees patients at The London Clinic.
Mr Laniado was appointed as a consultant in 2002 and started performing conventional robotic prostatectomies in 2008. In 2016, He switched to the Retzius-sparing approach because of the much better bladder control and recovery of erections with similar cancer outcomes. He trains surgeons learning how to perform Retzius-sparing prostatectomies at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. NHS patients consult with him at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Wexham Park Hospital (Frimley Health), where he is the lead for urological cancer.
Mr Laniado graduated from Guy's Hospital Medical School in 1989, having previously gained a BSc in physiology. Following specialist urology training in London, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Urology) in 2000, going on to complete his MD in prostate cancer research, Fellow of the European Board of Urology in 2002, and become an international member of the American Urological Association. Before taking up his career as a consultant, Mr Laniado extended his knowledge and skills on a Visiting Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the USA, where he trained in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Mr Laniado chooses treatments wherever possible for prostate problems that maximise the benefit-to-risk ratio, which are often less readily available. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate the chance or impact of after-effects after treatment, although the risk and impact are minimalised as much as possible.

Mr Laniado performed robotic surgery to remove my prostate following a cancer diagnosis. He is very confidence inspiring with focus on nerve sparing, making sure all the margins are clear and he uses an SPC. Two days after catheter removal I have needed no pads, even at night.

5 stars on every count! The announcement by Chris Hoy resulting in so many internet searches on prostate cancer reminded me that I really ought to have reviewed Mr. Laniado before now. My husband remains cancer free after the robotic prostatectomy by Mr. Laniado 18 months ago.

Mr Laniado is extremely professional yet friendly and easy to talk to. More importantly he is highly skilled in the most up to date treatments and surgical procedures. My treatment to date is successful, and I can recommend him with confidence to anyone requiring his service
