Mr Anthony Bates

Mr Anthony Bates is a highly skilled Consultant Urological Surgeon specialising in robotic prostate cancer surgery and pelvic uro-oncology. With a patient-centred approach, he provides comprehensive care for individuals facing prostate cancer diagnoses, elevated PSA levels, and abnormal prostate MRI results. Mr Bates is dedicated to delivering clear, evidence-based guidance, helping patients navigate their treatment options, including active surveillance, robotic prostatectomy, and nerve-sparing surgery, with confidence and reassurance. His clinical practice is heavily focused on achieving optimal outcomes in cancer control, continence recovery, and the preservation of sexual function.

In addition to his sub-specialist focus on high-volume prostate cancer surgery, Mr Bates offers expert management for a wide range of general urological and andrological conditions. His expertise encompasses the investigation and treatment of bladder and kidney diseases, urinary tract injuries, and benign diseases of the prostate. He routinely performs essential diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including transperineal prostate biopsies, bladder investigations such as cystoscopy, bladder lesion removal, circumcision, and hydrocele surgery. Patients seeking a second opinion or detailed treatment planning can expect a holistic, data-driven discussion tailored to their unique anatomical needs.
