FAQs
Mr. Ogden specializes in robotic surgery, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer, laparoscopic surgery for kidney disorders, major pelvic surgery, and urological malignancy.
Named as one of the world’s leading robotic surgeons by BBC’s Horizon, Mr Chris Ogden is a consultant uro-oncologist at The Harley Street Clinic and The Princess Grace Hospital, both part of HCA Healthcare UK.
Mr. Ogden is an experienced, high-volume surgeon and a pioneer in the field of robotic surgery. He performed the first private robotic surgery in the UK and has since conducted thousands of robotically assisted procedures. He was the first consultant in the country to perform transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) of the prostate and remains one of the few in the world currently able to carry out this procedure.
TPLA is a micro-invasive treatment that presents a unique offering for patients – a day case, low-risk procedure with excellent outcomes.
As part of the team at The Princess Grace Hospital, Mr. Ogden continues to set, rather than follow, the pace. Along with Dr. Jihad Kaouk of the USA-based Cleveland Clinic, he carried out Europe’s first radical robotic perineal prostatectomy and has since worked in close partnership with the NHS to develop this approach.
One of the first urologists to use the ground-breaking high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, Mr. Ogden was also the first in the world to assess and present the comparisons between whole gland HIFU and robotic surgery.
He was the first UK surgeon to be invited to join the faculty of the European Robotic Urology Symposium and the first urological surgeon from the UK to be invited to join the faculty of international experts at the World Robotic Symposium.
Passionate about developing the level of care in this field, Mr. Ogden is a respected trainer in minimally invasive transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) and continues to carry out research in the field alongside his private practice.
