Benjamin's clear advice and excellent surgical skills have mitigated my worst fear - incontinence. I have been 'dry' since the catheter was removed.

Thank you for the feedback. I am delighted that you were continent so soon after your robotic prostatectomy. One of the benefits of retzius sparing prostatectomy, which I perform routinely for my patients, is the rapid recovery of urinary control. Good luck with the rest of your recovery.

Mr Benjamin Lamb is highly professional, patient, informative and caring. He took the time to explain everything fully and answered all of my questions. This really helped to put me and my wife completely at ease. He carefully explained my MRI result and even drew a picture which I found extremely helpful in understanding my diagnosis. My wife and I left the consultation feeling very reassured about my chosen treatment and very confident in the medical care I would receive. Thank you Mr Benjamin Lamb!

Mr Lamb carried out my prostatectomy in may this year. At my first consultation he provided me and my wife details of the procedure, the risks and what the future may entail. He was very professional and reassuring during what was a difficult time On the morning of my operation he again explained what was going to happen during the procedure and explained about the possibility of nerve damage and nerve saving I am pleased to say my procedure went very well and some three months later I am fully recovered and have no issues with incontinence etc I can’t thank him enough

Explanation

I was referred by my GP to Mr. Lamb at Addenbrooke's as a result of a raised PSA test. A further consultation following an MRI resulted in a CT and biopsy, with the conclusion being that a Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy was the optimal treatment. Everything went extraordinarily well with the surgery, and my post-operative recovery has been spectacularly good. Throughout the whole experience Mr. Lamb was highly professional, informative, reassuring, and above all approachable and humane. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been put under his care, and will be forever grateful for his exceptional care.
