Written by a patient at Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital

I went to see Mr Yamamoto for a prostate problem for which he treated me with laser surgery. He has been really fantastic from start to finish, he explained everything including all the risks in a diligent manner. Whether I was lucky or not I had no issues at all and can say the problem is now well & truly resolved!! Can't thank him & his team enough.

Profile

I joined Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Hospital NHS Trust in 2016 as a consultant urological surgeon.

I completed my medical undergraduate training at Cambridge University and subsequently obtained a PhD in prostate cancer at University College London funded by a British Urological Foundation scholarship. My postgraduate urological training took place within the South Thames Rotation at centres of excellence including Guy's Hospital, The Royal Marsden Hospital, and King's College London Hospital. I held a joint position during this time as Academic Clinical Lecturer at King’s College London and participated in translational research in prostate and bladder cancer.

My clinical practice encompasses all areas of general urology with specific interests in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and benign prostate enlargement. I specialise in robotic surgery, holmium laser surgery (HoLEP), and transperineal prostate biopsy.

In addition to clinical activities I hold responsibilities at the Trust as the lead for education, prostate cancer diagnostics, and bladder cancer.
