Private prostate surgery in Yorkshire

Last updated: 9 June 2026 · Reviewed by Mr Sanjay Rajpal, Consultant Urological Surgeon · GMC 6106646

Mr Sanjay Rajpal offers private assessment and treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms in Yorkshire, with clinics at Spire Leeds Hospital and The Yorkshire Clinic in Bingley. This page brings the local prostate surgery information into one stronger hub rather than separate thin city pages.

Clinic access: Leeds patients are usually seen at Spire Leeds Hospital. Bradford, Bingley, Shipley, Saltaire, Keighley and Ilkley patients are usually seen at The Yorkshire Clinic. Patients from Harrogate, York, Wakefield and Halifax can also be assessed at the most convenient of these two private clinic settings.

When prostate surgery may be considered

Many men with urinary symptoms do not need an operation. Surgery is usually considered when symptoms remain troublesome despite lifestyle changes or medication, when the bladder is not emptying properly, when infections or bleeding recur, or when prostate size makes a more durable procedure sensible.

Symptoms that often start the discussion

Slow flow, hesitancy or stopping and starting.
Urgency, frequency or needing to pass urine several times at night.
A feeling that the bladder has not emptied.
Recurrent urinary infections or bladder stones linked to obstruction.
Retention of urine or repeated catheter problems.

How the right procedure is chosen

The best operation depends on prostate size and shape, bleeding risk, catheter history, bladder function, medication, general health and personal priorities such as ejaculation preservation. A consultation may include symptom scoring, flow testing, bladder scan, urine testing, PSA review, cystoscopy or imaging where needed.

Private prostate treatment options

HoLEP surgery in Yorkshire - a durable laser enucleation option, particularly useful for larger prostates.
GreenLight laser - laser vaporisation, often considered when bleeding risk and recovery profile are important.
Aquablation - robotic water-jet treatment for selected men.
BPH assessment - a broader guide to symptoms, tests and non-surgical options.

What to bring to consultation

Bring PSA results, urine tests, medication lists, GP letters, scan reports and any previous prostate or bladder investigations. If you have a catheter, recurrent infections, blood in the urine or previous prostate surgery, those details are important because they change the safest treatment plan.

Fees and insurance

An initial consultation is £220 and follow-up is £140. Most major private medical insurers are recognised, including AXA Health, Aviva, WPA and Cigna. Self-paying patients are welcome, and insured patients should check authorisation before the first appointment.
