More than 500 salvage radical prostatectomies!!! Yep it would be fair enough to describe Dr Paul Cathcart as being "experienced" in the most challenging scenario  we face as prostate cancer surgeons. Surgery for cancer recurrence in the prostate following radiotherapy or various forms of ablative therapy is never easy, and can all too often lead to issues with healing and quality of life recovery due to the impact of prior failed treatments, so we are always keen to see how we can improve outcomes.  Paul dropped into the GU Cast studio when back in Melbourne this week, a little over ten years on from his Fellowship training here. He is a Consultant Urologist at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London, where his main area of expertise is indeed salvage robotic radical prostatectomy. Paul shares his perspectives and tips and tricks for performing this procedure to try and give patients the best possible outcome, and also explains why he prefers the da Vinci Surgical System over the new robot kids on the block. This is a Themed Podcast supported by our Silver Partners, Device Technologies, distributors of the da Vinci Surgical System. Even better on our YouTube channel
