About Mr Tev Aho

Mr Tev Aho is a consultant urologist working in the NHS at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. He works pivately in Cambridge and at the Princess Grace Hospital in London. He specialises in treating men with bothersome urinary symptoms and catheter-dependent urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). He is highly experienced at advising men who have BPH in order for them to feel comfortable in selecting the best treatment for their own personal situation. He offers a wide range of procedures in order to cater to any BPH scenario.

Mr Aho moved from New Zealand to the UK to become a Clinical Fellow in Uro-oncology at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge in 2003. The following year he was appointed Consultant Urological Surgeon. He is the most experienced surgeon in the UK for performing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). He has performed more than 4,000 HoLEP procedures with outcomes amongst the best in the world and which have been published in the international urological literature. Other urologists often refer patients with complex prostate problems to Mr Aho for HoLEP surgery, including men whose prostates are too large for other prostate disobstructing procedures and those who have had previous prostate procedures that have failed such as TURP, Urolift, rezum, greenlight prostatectomy and prostate artery embolisation. As a specialist Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) surgeon Mr Aho also offers other BPO procedures including Ejaculation-sparing HoLEP, Urolift, Rezum and Aquablation.. He has been offering HoLEP since 2002, Ejaculation-sparing HoLEP since 2006, Urolift since 2015 and Rezum since 2020. He was one of the first surgeons to introduce Aquablation to the UK in 2016.

Mr Aho has been heavily involved in BPH research for many years.  He first became active in HoLEP research since the procedure's earliest days in New Zealand when he worked with the team who developed it . He introduced HoLEP to Cambridge in 2004, where it became and remains the treatment of choice for men seeking treatment for bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary retention.

Additionally, he commits a significant amount of his time to medical education. He lectures on HoLEP at national and international conferences and hosts an annual HoLEP course in Cambridge which has been held since 2005. He is also the founding president of the UK Holmium User Group (HUG) and has mentored many trainee doctors and consultant urologists in HoLEP since 2004.

Mr Aho was one of the first UK surgeons to perform Aquablation. He was an investigator for the first international randomised clinical trial assessing Aquablation (the WATER study) and continues to offer it as a treatment option for BPO.

Mr Aho's personal life is enriched with a wide range of interests including marathon running, wild swimming, military history, supporting the All Blacks rugby team, playing the cornet and trumpet and attending music festivals, the cinema and theatre.

I had HoLEP surgery in January 2026 with Tev Aho, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. The procedure went very smoothly, and my recovery was remarkably fast. I experienced no incontinence, no leakage, and no issues with erectile function, which made the whole experience even more reassuring. Dr. Aho is an exceptional surgeon—skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring. He listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find someone who combines such high-level expertise with such a human touch. I highly recommend him to anyone considering HoLEP surgery.

This procedure was recommended by a friend who was extremely pleased with his treatment and outcome. I had been taking Finasteride for around 15 years, and my disturbed sleep was gradually getting worse, typically having to the loo 3 or 4 times every night.

Mr Aho performed HoLEP surgery on my enlarged prostate. He was very reassuring pre-op taking the time to explain everything fully and not rushing to finish the consultation. I had no pain at all from the procedure and left hospital the next day. Mr Aho explained what to expect post op and I have had no pain at any time. I now have a vastly better flow and am up once a night rather than three times. It has been an excellent decision to have the procedure. I would recommend Mr Aho to any one seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate.

From first consultation to final discharge the process was carried out with friendly approach and profound professionalism. Every step was explained with potential outcomes. The nursing care was exemplary. Overall a very straightforward procedure and thankfully a successful outcome.

After suffering for many years with what I now know was a restriction of my urethra due to the bladder neck applying pressure, I contacted David, Mr Aho's secretary. It was the best phone call I have made in decades! I was urinating up to 15 times daily,5 times during the night and I became totally exhausted due to lack of sleep. My quality of life was literally 1/10. I did my research and Tev Aho is the best in the world at Holep and it's not surprising as patients travel from USA and beyond for his expertise. Mr Aho removed part of my prostate and I opted for an ejaculating sparring method with a brilliant result! My prostate was also squeezing my bladder neck and this pressure was the cause of numerous toilet visits. After the operation I was left with an overactive bladder which was severe and within 3 months Mr Aho placed me on medication. This has been wonderful alongside the operation. My quality of life is now 9/10 . I go to the toilet roughly every 2-3 hours and my bladder can now hold a huge 600 ml ! During the night I go once, sometimes twice, but I'm confident this will improve to zero or once , after I complete this course of bladder calming medication. At 59 I am possibly one of the younger patients and I shouldn't have left my symptoms for the length I did. Mr Aho is a wonderful,caring and incredibly skilled surgeon. Don't even hesitate in contacting his pa, David. Thank you for everything you did for me Mr Aho. I am truly grateful. John B.
