Professor Raj Persad

Consultant Urologist

ChM, FRCS (Eng), FRCS (Urol), FEBU

Specialises in

  • Vasectomy reversal
  • Prostate surgery
  • SpaceOAR Hydrogel
  • UroLift
  • Vasectomy

I am a Consultant Urologist at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Southmead Hospital. My main practice area is the detection and treatment of prostate cancer using the latest, minimally invasive treatments; such as HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound), Green Light laser and robotic assisted prostatectomy. My other main specialty is male sexual health and fertility.

My main interest is the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. This includes both the use of advanced surgical techniques and minimally invasive intervention. I am also experienced in microsurgical reversal of vasectomy, with an overall success rate of over 90%.

My training has been in London, Bristol and Cambridge. Other major interests include bladder cancer (radical surgery and reconstruction) and male sexual health.

I currently run a prostate screening clinic at the Spire Bristol Hospital.
