Award-winning Consultant Urologist Stella Ivaz talks about why she wants to encourage more women to be surgeons and being the first female in Europe to use Hydros - the latest Robotic System utilising an innovative AI-platform for prostate operations.

“I knew that I would be a surgeon very early on as a medical student. Urological surgery was part of my core surgical training. I loved the patient mix - we look after all genders and all ages- the surgery is varied from open and endoscopic to robotic. We utilise the latest technology, and I am proud to say that urological surgeons were one of the first to develop robotic techniques and put them into practice.

“My specialty is still very male dominated, there is a need for change, and I hope to inspire new generations of female surgeons.

“Being at the forefront of innovation and the use of the latest technology is hugely important to me. So, when the new Hydros machine arrived, I made sure I was the first urological surgeon in Europe to get training on it and was the first female urologist to treat patients with it. “

🌍 History made at The London Clinic!

We’re proud to announce a UK-first in medical innovation — our world-leading robotic urological surgeon, Professor Prokar Dasgupta, has performed the country’s first-ever remote robot-assisted telesurgery, operating on a patient 2,400km away in Gibraltar.

In collaboration with the Gibraltar Health Authority, St Bernard’s Hospital, and supported by Presidio, this groundbreaking operation was carried out with a delay of just 48 milliseconds using the state-of-the-art Toumai Robotic System manufactured by Microport.

This moment marks an exciting step forward in the future of surgery — bringing expert care to patients, wherever they are in the world. 💙✨

Common symptoms include:

* Persistent bloating
* Pelvic or abdominal pain
* Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly

Dr Khurum Khan, consultant medical oncologist at The London Clinic, talks to The Marylebone Journal on how genomic testing is changing the face of cancer treatment.

When asked, ‘What is The London Clinic doing to improve access to genomic testing?’ Dr Khan says, “At the moment, The London Clinic is able to offer most of the available commercial genomic panels, allowing patients access to the same tests used internationally. However, these are largely run by external laboratories, often overseas, which adds to cost, legal complexities and turnaround time.

“I am privileged to be working in partnership with Northwestern University in Chicago to develop in-house genomic testing at The London Clinic, which could significantly reduce costs. It would also shorten turnaround times and allow us to build our own genomic database, improving continuity of care and helping guide future treatment and research.”

When Daria Svalova, 32, first walked into a pole dance studio, she found a passion for pole dancing she didn’t know would become a real love.

But in December 2023, everything came crashing down — quite literally — during a single move that pushed her body beyond its limit.

Months of rest and specific physio and exercises didn’t solve the issue. A scan revealed the truth – it wasn’t inflammation but a tear in her supraspinatus tendon and she needed surgery.

Throughout her recovery, Daria relied heavily on Rochelle Francois, a Senior Physio at The London Clinic to help build up her strength and remind her of her progress and eventual recovery and return to the pole.

Every three minutes, someone in the UK dies from cardiovascular disease and according to the World Health Organisation, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide.

As February is Heart Month it seemed apt to find out more about London Clinic Consultant Cardiologist Professor Ghosh, who happens to be the UK’s first Cardio-Oncologist, looking after all heart issues in cancer patients.

But what is cardio-oncology?

Professor Ghosh says, "In the simplest of terms, cardio-oncology is the cardiac care of cancer patients. This care can be because a cancer patient has pre-existing heart disease, or it can be that the treatment that's offered to a cancer patient may potentially cause heart disease, or it can also be directed to a cancer patient who's finished treatment and has, as a result, developed heart disease."

Bunions are a common condition with 1 in 4 people having a bunion. Whilst men can also develop bunions, they are more prevalent in women (9:1 ratio). For most people, it is inherited; family history and genetics play a large role in the likelihood of getting bunions, with conditions such as flat feet and lax ligaments may also play a part.

A bunion occurs when the long bone (metatarsal) that connects to the big toe, deviates inward. This movement creates the bunion prominence on the inside of the foot. The prominence is normal bone in the wrong position rather than the growth of new bone.

A common misconception is footwear being an initial cause of bunions. This is generally not the case but can make an existing bunion worse.

The most common symptoms are pain and discomfort.

Patrick Barnes’ family, the awards were inspired by their experiences with the nurses who looked after Patrick during his illness and eventual passing.

Mandy was nominated by our Head of Operations for Cancer Care, Matthew, who shared: “Mandy is an exceptional nurse who provides outstanding care to every patient undergoing radiotherapy.

“Mandy treats each patient with the utmost dignity and respect, going above and beyond to meet their needs. She is deeply respected by patients, who often return just to update her on their progress and to express their gratitude.”
