Second opinions following a diagnosis or proposed treatment
Not every urological condition requires surgery. The purpose of the consultation is to establish the likely cause of your symptoms, review the available evidence and discuss an appropriate plan.
What Happens During Your First Consultation?
Your first appointment provides an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, medical history, medications and any previous treatment. Dr Bravi will review relevant test results, scans and correspondence when these are available. Depending on the reason for your consultation, an examination may be recommended. Further investigations could include urine or blood tests, imaging, urinary-flow assessment, cystoscopy or another specialist test.
You will receive an explanation of the possible diagnosis, the investigations that may be required and the available treatment options. Where several approaches are reasonable, their respective benefits, limitations and potential risks will be discussed. If possible, please bring copies of any relevant letters, blood-test results, scan reports, medication lists or previous operation records.

Private Robotic Surgery for Northampton Patients
Robotic surgical platforms are not currently available within the private healthcare sector in Northamptonshire. Patients requiring private robotic surgery therefore need to travel to London for their operation. Initial consultation, assessment and subsequent follow-up can still be provided in Northampton. When private robotic surgery is recommended, the operation may be undertaken at The Wellington Hospital in London.
This pathway allows patients from Northamptonshire and surrounding areas to receive much of their care locally while accessing private robotic surgery in London when required.

From Consultation to Treatment
Many assessments and follow-up appointments can be provided in Northampton. If further investigations or treatment are recommended, Dr Bravi will explain where they can be undertaken.
Some procedures may be arranged locally or at another appropriate private hospital, depending on the treatment required and the facilities available.

What patients say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dr. Carlo Bravi performed my father’s prostate cancer surgery, and we are extremely grateful for the excellent outcome. Considering that urinary incontinence can be a common concern after this type of operation, my father recovered remarkably well. Just 8 weeks after surgery, he was doing very well with an excellent recovery and no significant complications.
Thank you, Dr. Bravi, for your skill, care, and professionalism. We highly recommend him to anyone needing prostate cancer surgery.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am very pleased to recommend Mr Bravi, having been under his care during 2026 including him conducting a laparoscopic robot assisted prostatectomy. During initial consultations Mr Bravi and all his colleagues took onboard and understood my reservations about surgery and the potential of life changing side effects. I had no choice but to have surgery. Due to his surgical expertise and precision, the operation was a success and I am relieved not to be showing any sign of the main side effects, for which I am truly grateful.
