The UK Prostate Cancer Advisory Group recently published its vision for prostate cancer services in the next five years. It states:
“Most patients will make decisions about what surgery they have based on clinicians’ surgical outcomes rather than the type of technology used (e.g. laparoscopic or robotic)”
The Birmingham Prostate Clinic is committed to making our results data available and accessible to the public.
We publish a wide range of measurements, based on information which is most clinically relevant and important to patients.
This data has recently been used in a major study to assess how surgeon’s results improve as they undertake increasing numbers of cases.
Alan Doherty, Clinical Director of Birmingham Prostate Clinic, has performed more than 400 laparoscopic (keyhole) prostatectomies. This is a complex operation, undertaken by a very small number of surgeons in the UK.
The audited data, covering every laparoscopic prostatectomy undertaken by Mr Doherty from June 2003 to May 2008, is published here.
