-- Santis Health has received a 2026 Global Recognition Award in Innovation for its work in prostate cancer surgery, which combines specialized robotic practice, intra-operative pathology and a sustained focus on patient recovery. The London clinic was recognized for pioneering surgical methods to consistently maximise cancer control, urinary continence and sexual function. Its model reflects the clinical reality that radical prostatectomy must remove cancer effectively, while still protecting the important anatomical structures surrounding it that define post-operative quality of life.
The recognition concerns a clinical process rather than the use of a single surgical system, because Santis Health combines procedural planning, surgical execution, pathology review and follow-up assessment within one specialist practice. The clinic performs nearly 200 prostate cancer operations annually, and this caseload gives its team regular experience with complex decisions that can affect both disease management and life after treatment. Santis Health also presents clinical findings at international scientific meetings and publishes results, while its multidisciplinary process brings several medical specialties into treatment planning before an operation takes place.

Integrated Surgical Methods
Santis Health uses the Retzius-sparing technique in all suitable prostatectomy cases, preserving anatomical structures just above the prostate that contribute to urinary control after surgery. Surgeons work through a robotic platform that provides magnified visualisation and controlled instrument movement, while they navigate anatomy that is closely related to continence and sexual function. The technique does not replace clinical judgment, but it provides a structured method for pursuing cancer removal without treating functional recovery as a separate concern.
The clinic also uses the da Vinci Single Port robotic system, which supports minimally invasive surgical access through a single-port platform and enhances post-operative recovery. Santis Health pairs this technology with a team that has worked together for 15 years, and that continuity supports coordinated decisions before, during and after each procedure.
Pathology And Clinical Accountability
Intra-operative NeuroSAFE pathology is integrated into Santis Health’s surgical practice, allowing tissue to be assessed microscopically during the operation rather than only after the procedure has ended. The process gives surgeons information about cancer margins at a time when they can most valuably use this information, allowing them to consistently maximise both cancer clearance and the retention of structures associated with sexual and bladder function.
Santis Health uses multidisciplinary review to add clinical accountability to its care pathway, and specialists in urology, oncology, pathology, radiology and nuclear medicine assess imaging and proposed treatment plans. The process connects diagnosis with treatment planning and surgical delivery, while it reduces the risk that a decision rests solely on one specialist’s perspective. “The work behind this recognition rests on a structured clinical process,” said a Santis Health representative, “and robotic access, anatomical preservation and intra-operative pathology are used together because each addresses a distinct part of the decision-making required in prostate cancer surgery.”
Final Words
“Santis Health demonstrates exceptional qualities through its ability to connect advanced surgical methods with careful clinical judgment, measurable outcomes and a sustained commitment to the needs of patients,” said Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards. “Its selection in Innovation reflects a disciplined contribution to prostate cancer treatment, where cancer control and the preservation of function are treated as connected responsibilities rather than competing goals.” The award assessment used the Rasch model to create a linear measurement scale across innovation, leadership, service and clinical impact, which allowed the judging panel to compare Santis Health with other shortlisted recipients.
Santis Health earned the recognition because its care model links robotic surgery, anatomical preservation, intra-operative pathology, multidisciplinary planning and outcomes reporting within a specialist clinic. The clinic’s work shows that technical capability must be applied through reliable clinical systems, because equipment alone cannot determine the quality or appropriateness of surgical decisions. High surgical volume, a long-standing team and the publication of clinical results provide the basis for an award that recognizes an approach to prostate cancer surgery rather than an isolated technology.
