Any suggestions about choosing a surgeon?

[heyjulie]

My 2nd post and thank you all for providing the detailed info in the previous one.

My dad has decided to opt for radical prostatectomy. Do you have any specific surgeon in the UK that you would recommend? I am not quite certain about the criteria for choosing the best surgeon. Does the positive margin rate come first for consideration?

I would really appreciate it if you could post your recommendations here or if it is not convenient, please pm me. Thanks again!

Here are some questions to ask (adapt as required):

High volume, 10 years experience with robotic equipment and routine use of frozen sections, also referred as intra-operational quick biopsy, were my selection criteria.

It is not just the surgeon but the operating suite and hospital that dictates success. So high volume, familiarity with robotics (if so), hospitalisation period (shorter the better usually), first hand feedback from patients...
