Mr Cumberbatch is highly respected among his peers, and he has presented at various international conferences in countries including Japan, Spain and Denmark.

In 2021, Mr Cumberbatch published an international multicentre series showing that robotic surgery can be used even in high-risk situations where kidney function is poor or only one kidney is present. These patients previously may have been facing open surgery or lifelong dialysis, but with robotic techniques can now be offered a keyhole operation to remove the cancer with less complications, faster recovery, and preserved kidney function.
