Consultant Urological Surgeon

Mr Mohammed Aldiwani, MBChB, FRCS (Urology), is a Consultant Urological Surgeon specialising in robotic kidney surgery, prostate diagnostics, and kidney stone disease. He qualified in medicine at the University of Manchester in 2010, completed higher surgical training in London, and completed subspecialist cancer training at the Royal Marsden Hospital. He undertook a dedicated Royal College of Surgeons-accredited fellowship in robotic retroperitoneal kidney surgery at the Frimley Renal Cancer Centre, one of the highest-volume renal cancer centres in the UK.

Practicing at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, Spire Leeds Hospital, and Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital, Mr Aldiwani’s clinical practice is founded on thorough, unhurried consultations. He ensures patients receive clear, jargon-free explanations, prioritising organ preservation and minimally invasive robotic techniques tailored to each individual’s quality of life.

Robotic Kidney Surgery: The Retroperitoneal Approach

Mr Aldiwani is one of only a few specialist urological surgeons in the UK who routinely performs robotic kidney surgery using the advanced retroperitoneal approach. By accessing the kidney directly from the flank rather than traversing the abdominal cavity, this refined technique offers distinct clinical benefits over traditional robotic approaches.

Faster Recovery & Shorter Hospital Stay

Because surgery avoids the peritoneal cavity, patients experience significantly less abdominal discomfort, early mobilisation, and a faster return home—often within 24 to 48 hours.

Minimal Blood Loss & Enhanced Precision

Ultra-precise Da Vinci robotic instrumentation paired with high-definition 3D magnification allows delicate dissection and accurate tumour excision, minimising blood loss and preserving healthy kidney tissue.

Zero Bowel Mobilisation

Accessing the kidney directly from the back eliminates the need to move or handle the intestines. This dramatically lowers the risk of post-operative ileus (bowel shutdown), bloating, and future abdominal adhesions.

Shorter Operating Times & Rapid Rehabilitation

Direct anatomical exposure allows for streamlined operative duration and an expedited return to normal daily routines and active living.

Procedures offered

Enlarged Prostate Treatment, Built Around You

“The best treatment is not simply the newest procedure. It is the treatment that best matches your prostate size, anatomy, symptoms, priorities and long-term goals.”

After a full assessment, covering symptom score, flow rate, PSA and imaging, Mr Aldiwani agrees a plan with you using a clear decision-aid. In-house options include Bipolar TURP, UroLift and Rezūm, with HoLEP for selected cases.
