Mr Ashwin Sridhar is a distinguished Consultant Urologist with a particular expertise in robotic surgery and surgical technology.

His primary focus lies in the realm of minimally invasive surgery, image-guided surgery in Urology, and the digitalization of surgical procedures and education. His overarching goal is to provide world-class cancer care to patients dealing with pelvic urological cancers and those requiring robotic pelvic urological reconstructive surgery. Moreover, he aspires to establish a state-of-the-art multispecialty robotic training environment to facilitate continuous professional development.

Having completed specialised Urology training, with a particular emphasis on Uro-oncology and Robotic surgery, he went on to attain a Master's degree (with distinction) in Surgical Technology from Imperial College London. His remarkable thesis on Augmented Reality Image Guidance for Robotic Prostatectomy showcases his expertise in the field. In addition, Mr Sridhar successfully obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in clinical education, intending to develop an innovative interactive learning environment rooted in established educational theories, ultimately enhancing surgical skills development.

Currently, he serves as a consultant Urologist in the NHS at UCLH, dedicating his efforts to bladder and prostate cancer management and reconstructive surgery. His special interest revolves around optimising outcomes for patients post-treatment. Impressively, Mr Sridhar has completed the EAU/ERUS curriculum and independently conducted over 1000 robotic procedures in pelvic cancer cases. As a Proctor with Intuitive Surgical, he passionately imparts his knowledge, training surgeons across the UK and Europe in specialised surgical techniques, including Robotic Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Reconstruction, Robotic Prostatectomy (including Retzius-sparing technique), Robotic Salvage Prostatectomy, and Robotic Reconstructive Surgery for Benign Procedures.
