Mr Benjamin Lamb. Retzius Sparing Robotically Assisted Prostatectomy with NeuroSAFE. This is my second review of Mr Lamb. The first focussed on his first class aporoach to patient care. This time I want to focus on his expertise and surgical skill. I am 71 years old, fit but slightly overweight. A layman's review. Retzius Sparing: A technique that protects and preserves the nerves surrounding the prostate. In my case the nerves on both sides were fully preserved. At the time of catheter removal seven days post surgery I had been peeing normally for three days. At catheter removal I was delighted to continue as normal, no leakage, no incontinence. Robotically Assisted: I honestly thought the bruising and damage created during this procedure would cause discomfort for quite sometime, but, eight days post op I have no discomfort, the surgical wounds are healing nicely and I am Walking two miles a day. All testimony to the care and surgical technique adopted by Mr Lamb. NeuroSAFE: A technique where tissue is sent to the path lab for testing during surgery to check for cancer at the edges of the surgical site. This allows Mr Lamb, in real time, to either close the procedure or continue shaving tissue at the edge until the lab reports no further cancer cells. Thus I awoke to the knowledge that all the cancer had been removed. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Lamb for his expertise and patient care.

Everyone was very helpful, next steps were clear.

Very efficient whilst feeling very personal. Some confusion at the start of the consultation, whereby the prior background/pre-tests had not been pre-reviewed, however as soon as that was quickly realised, the consultation was personal, informative, relaxed and professional. A most excellent service

Mr Lamb was very approachable and clearly explained his diagnosis and recommendations for the future

Visit and consultation was great. Viewing documents is not great at all. The amount of repetitive details that need to be entered is ridiculous. Can’t view my own document.

The 2 doctors i saw were professional, kind and took time to explain to me this being a new situation to me that i never anticipated.

Benjamin Lamb was an excellent, kind and caring consultant. He helped me beyond my initial cancer appointment to get set up with immediate CT scans on the day, finding me the right surgeon and making a personal introduction. Thank you Benjamin for supporting me at this very difficult time.
