Mr Gudaru takes the time to understand what matters most to each patient, clearly explaining findings and discussing all available treatment options. He actively involves patients in their care decisions, ensuring the next steps are always clear and reassuring.

Procedures covered: General urology; robotic urological surgery; prostate cancer; benign prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms; endourology and urinary stone disease.

Royal college uro-oncology fellowship at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge (2024); advanced endourology, laparoscopy and robotics fellowship at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Prince of Wales Hospital (2019). Current clinical practice includes robotic assisted Uro-oncology, endoscopic prostate and bladder surgery, ureteroscopy and stone treatment, general urological surgery including penile and scrotal surgery.

Mr Gudaru completed two postgraduate research dissertations. His MCh research was a prospective study with ethics approval, for which he was principal investigator. He has formal training in biostatistics, epidemiology and clinical research methodology, alongside NIHR Good Clinical Practice training.

He has authored and co-authored multiple peer reviewed publications, including original research, systematic reviews and international collaborative studies. His published work spans prostate surgery, robotic surgery, the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic on surgical and urological services, and medical education. His research has appeared in journals including European Urology, Annals of Surgery, European Urology Focus, BJUI, Andrologia and Neurourology and Urodynamics.

He contributes to prostate cancer clinical research at King’s and Guy’s, recruiting patients to the Elipse trial as part of the departmental research team, supporting the ProFocal focal therapy research programme and contributing to FRAME PCa work addressing inequalities in prostate cancer care.

He took part in the UK’s first robotic telesurgery between London and Gibraltar, coordinating locally in Gibraltar and providing bedside surgical support while the operating surgeon controlled the robot remotely from London.

His continuing research interests include prostate cancer, robotic surgery, access to care and the responsible use of technology in clinical practice and medical education.
