Consultant Urological Surgeon
Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust
Mr Amr Emara is a Consultant Urologist and Professor of Urology at Urology Partners, internationally recognised for advanced, minimally invasive treatment of prostate and kidney conditions. He holds dual doctoral qualifications (a Master's degree and a PhD) and fellowships from both the European Board of Urology and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, combining academic depth with leading-edge clinical practice in London, Surrey and Hampshire.
Prostate treatment: BPH, laser and robotic options
Mr Emara specialises in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and offers the full range of modern, minimally invasive therapies, including:
- GreenLight Laser prostate surgery
- Rezūm water vapour (steam) therapy
- Aquablation therapy
As one of the pioneers of minimally invasive BPH treatment in the UK, he helped introduce and develop these technologies in NHS and private practice, giving patients effective symptom relief with faster recovery and fewer side effects than traditional surgery.
Kidney cancer and robotic surgery
A highly experienced uro-oncological surgeon, Mr Emara has performed over 1,500 laparoscopic kidney surgeries and was the first urologist in the UK to use the latest Da Vinci 5 (five) robotic surgical system — placing him at the forefront of robotic kidney cancer surgery in the country.
Prostate cancer: focal therapy and HIFU
Mr Emara is a core member of a specialist focal therapy team, with particular expertise in MRI-guided prostate diagnostics and targeted treatments such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). This allows personalised, organ-preserving prostate cancer care for suitable patients, avoiding the side effects associated with whole-gland treatment.
