In 2014 he introduced a prostate arterial embolisation service in association Dr Tarun Sabharwal, Consultant Interventional Radiologist.  This is an alternative to the surgical management of benign prostatic disease avoiding the complications of urinary incontinence, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction.
