Mr Karan Wadhwa

Mr Karan Wadhwa is an experienced consultant urological surgeon practising in Essex. He can treat a wide range of urological conditions, including prostate cancer diagnosis, benign prostate enlargement, urinary tract infections/prostatitis, foreskin/scrotum problems and blood in the urine.

Mr Wadhwa did his undergraduate studies at the University of Nottingham in 2006 before undertaking his medical training in Nottinghamshire and surgical training in the Southwest. As an academic clinical fellow, he completed his urological training in the East of England with Cambridge University, where he would also be awarded a PhD for his research in the detection of prostate cancer in 2015, funded by a competitive grant from the Medical Research Council. This has led to the innovation of the use of MRI imaging scans in diagnostics for prostate cancer. He trained further at other hospitals in the region, including Addenbrookes, Ipswich, and the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.

Aside from being a dedicated urologist, Mr Wadhwa is also passionate about education and is an associate fellow of the Higher Education Academy. As both an associate and honorary clinical lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, he leads educational programmes and mentors cohorts of medical students. Mr Wadhwa has multiple publications covering a range of urological topics, which have been presented at several national and international conferences and have been recognised with awards and prizes. His clinical interests include minimally invasive renal surgical techniques including robotic total and robotic partial nephrectomy. He is also actively involved in diagnostic urology, treatment of urological infections, and penoscrotal conditions. Currently, he is the clinical lead for the Department of Urology at Broomfield Hospital and has contributed to pioneering research projects to improve patient outcomes.
