Professor Christopher Eden

Christopher is the UK’s most experienced prostate cancer surgeon, having been the UK pioneer of keyhole surgery for this condition since 2000 and has introduced a number of technical modifications, such as the Retzius-sparing approach, that appear to lead to significantly better preservation of bladder and sexual function compared to conventional robotic surgery.
