Mr Marc Laniado
Urology in Windsor and Central London
Professional statement
Mr Marc Laniado offers men with prostate enlargement or early prostate cancer treatments that benefit with less chance of side-effects. He uses the most advanced techniques that have a consistently better success rate. These are personalised to the individual needs and values of each man he sees.
Prostate cancer:
- highly accurate diagnostic tests with the least side-effects (enhanced MRI, transperineal prostate biopsies, and genomic testing)
- treatments for early prostate cancer that can preserve bladder control and erections more consistently than conventional treatments (focal therapy by HIFU, Retzius-sparing prostatectomy with nerve-sparing (NeuroSAFE), and seeds, a.ka. brachytherapy)
- active surveillance: close monitoring for men who do not need immediate treatment
Prostate Enlargement (BPH):
- minimally invasive treatments for small to medium-sized prostate that can improve urinary symptoms and maintain erections & ejaculation (Rezum and UroLift)
- treatments for large prostates that improve urinary symptoms with a faster and more comfortable recovery (Aquablation, laser prostatectomy, HoLEP)
- assessment for Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)
He is a highly experienced urologist and works full time in the direct clinical care of men with prostate problems. Annually, he performs about 100 Retzius-sparing prostatectomies, as well as HIFU, and 100 or more treatments for BPH.
He is the joint chairman of the prostate cancer multidisciplinary team for private patients at the Wellington Hospital and the Princess Grace Hospital where he operates and sees patients. He also sees patients at The London Clinic.
Mr Laniado was appointed as a consultant in 2002 and started performing conventional robotic prostatectomies in 2008. In 2016, He switched to the Retzius-sparing approach because of the much better bladder control and recovery of erections with similar cancer outcomes. He trains surgeons learning how to perform Retzius-sparing prostatectomies at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. NHS patients consult with him at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Wexham Park Hospital (Frimley Health), where he is the lead for urological cancer.
Mr Laniado graduated from Guy's Hospital Medical School in 1989, having previously gained a BSc in physiology. Following specialist urology training in London, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Urology) in 2000, going on to complete his MD in prostate cancer research, Fellow of the European Board of Urology in 2002, and become an international member of the American Urological Association. Before taking up his career as a consultant, Mr Laniado extended his knowledge and skills on a Visiting Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the USA, where he trained in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Mr Laniado chooses treatments wherever possible for prostate problems that maximise the benefit-to-risk ratio, which are often less readily available. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate the chance or impact of after-effects after treatment, although the risk and impact are minimalised as much as possible.

- Really excellent care, before, during, and post operation Highly recommend Mr Laniado for his calm approach and surgical skills
- From my initial consultation to discussing my complicated surgery requirements Mr Laniado treated me with the utmost care and respect. I am 77 years of age and other consultants were unable to help me but Mr Laniado guided me through the process from biopsy to removal of my prostate and I will always be very grateful to him. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with a Urological problem.
- I was considered a suitable subject for HIFU and everything was organised by Mr Laniado and his efficient team. The procedure was done effectively in a day-case session and everything worked out exactly as Mr Laniado had predicted. The tumour was destroyed completely, sexual function was unaffected and urinary function settled to my previous level after a few days. Altogether, a precise identification of what was required, executed without any fuss and completely successful. What more could you want!
- From diagnosis thru treatment and aftercare Marc provided detailed informational and assistance.
- Professionalism, caring attitude and detailed explanation of options available have been very reassuring and the conduct of the nano knife surgery I received was as stress-free as possible. His team are equally supportive and professional. I unreservedly recommend Mr Laniado
- I’m really surprised by how little I have been beaten up by this procedure, almost no pain and full control of my bladder straight away. I’m very grateful to Mr Laniado and the team who cared for me at Princess Grace Hospital. All done very quickly and smoothly.
- Marc is very approachable and understanding. He explains everything you need to know with a calming and pleasant demeanour. He reassures you and is always available to talk if you have any queries or concerns.
- Mr Laniado has done a great deal to help me in a short space of time. He has provided HOLEP and identified a clear cancer diagnosis and plan for dealing with it. He is very professional, clear and straightforward to deal with. I feel reassured to be under his care. Thank you !
