About
Mr Aniruddha Chakravarti qualified as a medical graduate in 1990 and attained post-graduate training in general surgery before embarking on an extensive training in Urology. In addition to his experience in General Urology, Mr Chakravarti has developed a special interest in Robotic and Laparoscopic surgery of the upper urinary tract. Also all surgical procedures for benign prostatic enlargement including all types of laser surgery and UROLIFT procedure and stone disease. He has received intensive laparoscopy training from the European Institute of Telesurgery in Strasbourg, France, and has obtained a Diploma in Laparoscopic Surgery from the Institute.
He works as a Consultant Urological Surgeon at the Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust and regularly performs da Vinci Robot-assisted and pure laparoscopic surgery of the upper urinary tract to provide a service for treating kidney cancers.
He has also been through intensive training and has over four years of experience of using all kinds of lasers for prostatic surgery and is one of the few surgeons experienced in Holmium-YAG laser enucleation and morcellation of prostate as well as the least invasive UROLIFT procedure in suitable cases.
A primary advantage of HoLEP over other laser prostatectomy techniques is that it can rapidly create a large cavity by immediately removing obstructing tissue, rendering it suitable for large prostates of up to 100 grams. The coagulative ability of the holmium laser effectively seals tissue planes as the operation progresses, which makes HoLEP a relatively bloodless operation with a concomitant reduction in transfusion requirement, and also avoids the dangers of systemic fluid absorption.
The principal advantage of the UROLIFT procedure is providing symptom relief while maintaining sexual function and the procedure is mostly done as a day case with no catheter required at the end of the procedure.

Extremely relaxed yet highly professional consultation clear and precise explanation given

I found Mr Chakravarti very easy to communicate with and his explanations and advice concise and sensitive. I will forever be grateful for his medical expertise and the professional manner with which he executed the whole prosedure. All together a very satisfying experience.

Thank you Mr Chakravarti for your reassuring manner when I first went to see you regarding my enlarged prostate. At that time I had a catheter fitted and I had fears that because of the length of time that the catheter had been in, might cause me problems once my op was completed. You talked me through what I could, possibly, have to deal with postop, but instilled a confidence in me with the way you envisaged of how you thought things would go. You were correct!! Holep procedure went according to plan and I left the hospital 2 days later without the catheter. Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic. I was advised I would have to wait for my operation on NHS for at least 3 years +. Mr Chakravarti came recommended by another surgeon. From the time we met until the day I was signed off he was a perfect gentleman. Explained everything to me including the pros and cons of my operation. His bedside manor is wonderful and he is very thorough. I have now had the operation and recovered well and back to my normal self. I Would highly recommend the Spires Hospital and also Mr Chakravarti. Thank you for giving me my life back.

Very polite and informed me every part of the way in procedures.

My first contact with Mr Chakravarti was via an online consultation. I had already carried out some research on the various options to address my BPH condition and was seeking confirmation that HOLEP was the best way forward. His calm manner coupled with his knowledge, experience and expertise gave me the confidence I needed to proceed and that he was the right person to help me. In terms of the operation itself everything went smoothly both pre and post operation outcomes were inline with what had been explained to me. 3 months after the operation I attended a face to face consultation with Mr Chakravarti and was able to thank him for his help - I remember saying "I’m glad I found you! "

UrologyMr Chakravarti is a consultant urologist of the highest standing in my opinion. I have in the past worked with him for several years, and although he moved to another centre, I still turn to him for professional advice for my patients with his unfailing knowledge and skill. It is rare to get a combination of such skill, knowledge and experience as well as empathy towards patients. I regard him as a friend and colleague to turn to when difficult decisions are to be made. He is indeed also the ‘doctor's doctor’ in my opinion.
