“By being able to correct patients problems, often in a timely fashion with rapid results, is gratifying as a surgeon and this aspect in particular drew me to urology. Recognition by way of national and international presentations as well as clinical excellence awards (from the NHS) continues to enthuse me and spur me to share our experience to the benefit of patients across the UK and beyond.”
Mr Khan covers the breath of urological treatments, apart from his subspecialisation in laser prostate surgery. these include investigations and risk calculation for prostate cancer including, the commonest male cancer, along with multiparametric MRI scans as well as blood in the urine diagnostics.
