MR MATTEO MASSANOVA

My strong interest in robotic surgery has led me to travel a lot, attending numerous centers of excellence both at national and European level. The comparison with different professional realities and the possibility of working in contact with the best surgeons at an international level, has allowed me to refine my technique, establish myself in the field of robotic surgery and consequently offer all patients who rely on my care , the most advanced treatments. Robotic surgery has made great strides in recent years, evolving continuously and I with it, constantly updating myself to achieve goals considered impossible until a decade ago.

Since 2020 I have been working permanently in the UK and in 2021 I was hired as a Consultant Urologist at Southend-on-Sea University Hospital, becoming the youngest to hold this role in the NHS, at the age of 30. Despite my young age, however, I boast first-rate experience, having participated in over 1000 robotic surgery operations, of which more than 350 as first operator. Since the beginning of my experience as a consultant, I have contributed to the introduction of the robotic radical cystectomy (bladder removal) service and, currently, I am the only surgeon in the region to offer my patients with bladder cancer, robotic intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder, one of the most complex urological interventions.
