Surgery
The da Vinci® robot
The London Clinic uses the da Vinci® Surgical
System, the latest robotic-assisted surgery technique, which is
used to treat prostate cancer by removing the prostate through
keyhole surgery. There are only a few such ‘robots’ in the UK. At
The London Clinic our staff affectionately refer to the robot as
Leonardo.
Aesthetic surgery
Located in a self-contained wing of the hospital, The London
Clinic's dedicated plastic and aesthetic surgery unit has 12
ensuite single rooms. Specialist surgical procedures undertaken
here at the Clinic include general breast surgery, breast
augmentation, mastectomy for breast cancer (single or bilateral),
prophylactic mastectomy and breast reconstruction after mastectomy,
as well as many other general plastics and aesthetic
procedures.
The sisters and charge nurses in the unit all hold specialist
plastic surgery qualifications and have extensive experience in
cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery. Every
patient on the unit benefits from their specialist skills and
knowledge.
The unit has a specialist treatment room for dressing changes
and certain minor procedures.
All plastic surgeons based at The London Clinic are fully
accredited members of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons
(BAPS) and the British Association of Aesthetics Plastic Surgeons
(BAAPS).
