Santis Health integrates intra-operative pathology and robotic systems for prostate cancer surgery
Precision in Practice: How Santis Health Is Rethinking Prostate Cancer Surgery
Santis Health combines da Vinci Single Port robotics, Retzius-sparing techniques, and NeuroSAFE intra-operative pathology to optimize cancer control while preserving urinary and sexual function. The London clinic's multidisciplinary planning model received a 2026 Global Recognition Award for connecting advanced technology with individualized clinical judgment rather than relying on isolated device capabilities.

he same clinical process. The Work Behind the Recognition Santis Health performs nearly 200 prostate cancer operations each year. That volume gives its surgical team regular experience with a procedure that requires more than just technical control. Radical prostatectomy demands thorough cancer removal, but it also requires careful attention to the nerves and anatomical structures that may affect continence and sexua

h's practice. The platform supports minimally invasive access through a single port, rather than the usual 5–6 ports. However, the clinic's emphasis is not on the device in isolation. Its surgical team has worked together for 15 years, creating continuity across planning, surgery and follow-up. In a field where clinical decisions can change during an operation, a team's familiarity with one another's roles can be as

l function after surgery. The clinic uses the Retzius-sparing approach to robotic prostatectomy, whenever clinically appropriate. This technique preserves the anatomy just in front of the prostate, the area that contains the key anchor points for the urinary control mechanism, which promotes an earlier recovery of continence for most patients. The da Vinci Single Port robotic system forms another part of Santis Healt

Alex Sterling, a spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards. In a specialty shaped by high-stakes choices, the clinic's work suggests that progress is best measured not by the complexity of the equipment in the room, but by the care with which it is used when patients have the most to lose and the most to gain.
