About

Mr Marc Laniado is an excellent Consultant Urological surgeon and the prostate cancer chairman of the prostate cancer multidisciplinary team at the HCA Princess Grace Hospital. He specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of men with prostate cancer and urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate (BPH). He offers an individualised approach, tailoring the tests or treatments to the specific values of the man he sees.

For men with urinary symptoms due to BPH, Marc Laniado advises men on lifestyle changes and medications. Where these are unsuccessful, he performs day-case procedures that alleviate urinary symptoms keeping ejaculation (UroLift, Rezum). Some men have unsuitable prostates and need a HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) or Aquablation, which can also preserve erections and ejaculation. Mr Laniado uses an en-bloc technique with early apical sphincter release and a Moses 2.0 holmium laser at the Princess Grace Hospital for best results.

To help men have fewer side effects from radiotherapy, He does SpaceOAR/Barrigel insertions under local anaesthetic.

Prostate cancer is increasingly common and many men are diagnosed with small cancerS potentially suitable for partial ablation, which is also known as focal therapy. For appropriate men, Mr Laniado performs High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and NanoKnife, which preserves continence and erections in most men. He started HIFU in 2005.

Mr Laniado trained in open prostatectomy, started laparoscopic prostatectomies in 2006 and moved onto robotic prostatectomies in 2008/9. He switched from the anterior approach for robotic prostatectomy to the Retzius-sparing technique at the end of 2016. Retzius-sparing prostatectomy, in his experience, allows men to quickly recover bladder control and preserve the structures needed for an erection.

Mr Laniado trains other surgeons in robotic prostatectomy in the European School at Royal Berkshire Hospital. He has driven the development of multiparametric MRI and MRI-targeted fusion biopsies of the prostate to diagnose men accurately. He started MRI-targeted biopsies in 2012 and does over two hundred MRI-targeted fusion biopsies a year. He introduced Retzius sparing prostatectomy at the end of 2016 as his preserved surgical technique as patients recover bladder control and erections faster than normal technique. He does about 100 Retzius-sparing prostatectomies a year.

Mr Laniado grew up in North London and is married with two children. He enjoys windsurfing in Poole, tennis, running and walking his labradors in Windsor Great Park amongst other locations.

Explanation

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Prostate cancer at age 57. I was suitable to avoid a prostatectomy and opt for NanoKnife treatment. This new procedure was recognised by NICE in September 2023, around the time of my diagnosis, and my treatment was at the end of November. The procedure was a complete success and an MRI confirmed the absence of prostate cancer. After one week the catheter was removed and I was able to function normally again, without any more serious side effects than fatigue and regular toilet stops. I had no incontinence and was able to achieve an erection. I can strongly recommend Mr Laniado to other patients with early stage prostate cancer and hope that their treatment is as trouble free and successful as my own.

Mr Laniado is clearly an extremely experienced and knowledgeable consultant. He has a caring, calm and reassuring manner being able to explain everything honestly and factually at every stage. He spent time going through the treatment options in a clear and understandable way, even working evenings and weekends to ensure his patients get the information and support they need at the right times. He and his team are easy to contact and they are on hand and happy to answer questions as they arise. I am really pleased with a successful outcome and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Laniado.

Explanation

The short version is that I cannot recommend Mr Laniado highly enough, he has the most extraordinary gift, is a trailblazer in the field of radical prostatectomy, does everything possible to make your treatment successful and recovery as trouble free as can be, and to enable you to lead as normal life as possible. After a gleason 7 diagnosis an MDT panel of 20 specialists recommended surgery as the preferred treatment. My consultant urologist gave me 3 names for surgeons he would happily go to and mentioned Mr Laniado first. My own research found another 4 highly accomplished and high-volume RALP surgeons. On further research I realised Mr Laniado was ticking every box and more besides. He offered a range of treatment options, such as HIFU if that’s suitable for you and he clearly had an enormous passion for his lifelong career and providing the highest possible standard of patient care and understanding. Crucially though, what shone through was his unrivalled (in my opinion) expertise and relentless pursuit of providing the best possible surgical outcome to remove all the cancer whilst trying to minimise any surgical and recovery complications and maximise the chances of returning to as normal life as possible post-op. At out first appointment he listened to everything I said very carefully and discussed treatment options so that you have all the facts to make your own decision. I could see his incredible attention to every detail as even at this stage, was completely aware of every test/scan/report you’d had and capturing all your relevant medical history through his online portal/questionnaire and use of technology in general to make things as simple, accurate and efficient as possible for everyone. Like an epiphany what really struck me was that his surgical technique had been constantly refined over the years (and would continue to be evolved further if needed ) to a level that was quite extraordinary and that he was the genuine leader and innovator in the field. I now understood why many other urologists and GPs see Mr Laniado as the surgeon of choice for prostate cancer surgery. His PA team were also superb and completely on top of everything, readily available, responsive, showing real compassion and also knew a great deal about every aspect of the the whole treatment journey. Having had the surgery first thing in the morning, Mr Laniado came to see me in the afternoon, evening and both of the next 2 days before I went home. I realized he’d been tracking in real-time via his smartphone and web portal, every post op hospital test result and update from the healthcare team of my latest condition and my own comments to them, whilst orchestrating my post op care/medication. He was also readily available and on top of everything post surgery which was reassuring. The anaesthetist he used and the and team of urology nurses were also highly skilled and most impressive showing a level of expertise and care to me that I was very grateful for, were all available to contact directly whenever needed and they even followed up to check on me. Thank you Marc!

Explanation

Mr Laniado and his team have been excellent and very thorough in managing and carrying out all of my tests and operations to remove my prostate. Following an MRI, biopsy and PET CT scan, he explained all options available to treat my prostate cancer. Guided by Mr Laniado, I decided to have a Retzius sparing prostatectomy which he carried out in the Princess Grace hospital where all of the nursing staff were excellent. My anaesthetist was Dr Dinesh Selvan who was also excellent. My recovery from the operation has been faster and more comfortable than I expected

Explanation

After a PSA test I visited Mr Laniado. From that first meeting i was reassured that i had come to the right place. His knowledge and experience are first class , but maybe more importantly his manner and understanding of my specific situation left me feeling confidant i was in the right hands. he guided me through my MRI results and we agreed that a biopsy would be the best next step. he performed my procedure to the highest standard as evidenced by me suffering very few of the typical side effects and my recovery being far faster than expected. i cannot recommend him highly enough.

From our first consultation, we were very reassured by Mr. Laniado's expertise, knowledge, and caring manner. We also found his explanation of retzius sparing procedure clear and reassuring. This procedure worked very well for me, and I have had a very positive outcome, with far fewer side affects than I had feared. Post-op ten weeks, I feel that I am virtually back to my normal self. I feel that this is down to the skills of Mr. Laniado and his team.
