Prostate cancer is one of the diseases that most worries men all over the world, and the Canary Islands is no exception. According to data from the Spanish Association Against Cancer, 1552 cases of prostate cancer were registered in this region in 2022. In the fight against this disease, a transcendental step has been taken that places the Canary Islands on the map of world medical excellence.
Dr. Richard Gaston has performed more than 10,000 radical prostatectomies during his distinguished career. His pioneering work in the field of laparoscopic surgery made him the first person in the world to perform a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. In addition, he is an authority in urological robotic surgery today. His experience and expertise have been instrumental in the evolution of surgical techniques for the treatment of prostate cancer.
The arrival of the renowned urologist Richard Gaston to Gran Canaria, pioneer and world reference in prostate cancer surgery, is a great step forward in the Canarian healthcare system, thanks to the collaboration established for the training of the medical team led by Dr. Pablo Juarez del Dago, director of the Robotic Surgery Unit of GUA Urology and Andrology and HUSR.
Dr. Richard Gaston has pushed the limits of what other urologists can offer today. His surgical techniques not only have a high success rate in curing prostate cancer, but also focus on minimizing side effects. This means that patients operated on by Dr. Gaston and Dr. Juarez del Dago have a 99% certainty that they will not experience urinary problems after surgery and that their sexual function will not be affected. These are sequelae that, without experience and the proper equipment, are very difficult to avoid.
Dr. Pablo Juarez del Dago, has extensive experience in urological robotic surgery at national and international level. For more than 10 years, he has been collaborating with Dr. Richard Gaston in the field of robotic surgery.
Professor Richard Gaston adds: " I am delighted to be here because I will find the same technology that we have in the big cities in France and in Europe and, in addition, I have known Pablo Juarez del Dago for many years. I have seen his urological education and evolution at the Puigvert Foundation and in many centers of excellence in Europe. I am very happy to join him in this adventure.
