My follow up consultation with Mr. Anderson on 13th January was very reassuring. He was most helpful about future check ups and I have complete confidence in him.

I am hugely grateful to Mr Anderson for the attentive, experienced and skilful attention he afforded me when I needed to have a cancerous kidney removed. Hugely thankful.

I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I received under the care of Chris Anderson at St George's Hospital. Seven years ago I was lucky enough to have a kidney transplant which had been functioning well until last summer when a sizeable tumour was discovered. Until I saw Mr Anderson the only option given the size and position of the tumor was removal of the kidney and dialysis. He took a great deal of time and effort to research, explain and carry out a complex pioneering partial nephrectomy using a 3D model. The outcome was a swift recovery with the kidney still functioning well and a quality of life I did not think possible to retain. My family and I will be eternally grateful to him for his skill and care.

Profile

Mr Christopher Anderson is a consultant Urological surgeon with a general Urological practise as well as a specialist interest in renal and prostate cancer. In his general Urological practise he manages a wide spectrum of conditions : urinary infections, voiding and bladder problems, enlarged prostates (BPH), haematuria (blood in urine), circumcision, fertility workup, vasectomy / reversal vasectomy and erectile dysfunction. He has particular expertise in minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgical approaches. Mr Anderson completed his undergraduate work at Stellenbosch and his postgraduate training in Cape Town, South Africa, before taking up a substantive consultant post at St George's Healthcare in 1999. He undertook fellowships to Cleveland, the University of Miami and Detroit in the United States before travelling to the University of Leipzig in Germany to further his training in both renal and prostate cancer surgery. Mr Anderson was one of the first to adopt laparoscopic techniques in urology surgery in the UK. In 2004 he introduced laparoscopic renal cryotherapy, also the first operation of its kind in the UK. He continued to develop this technique and has the largest series with long term follow-up in the country. He was an integral member of the team that pioneered robotic surgery in the UK, introducing the robotic surgery programme to St George's Healthcare in July 2008, and has successfully developed the service as lead robotic surgeon.
