Background Information

Mr Milan Thomas is an expert Urological Surgeon and is Lead Clinician for the Cancer MDT, Department of Urology at East Kent NHS Trust. He qualified in Medicine at University College London, Medical School in 2004. Milan is committed to offering an honest opinion and will endeavour to provide the most evidence-based treatment options.

He is a specialist in robotic surgical treatment of kidney cancer and performs more complex-major operations to the kidney than any other surgeon in Kent (according to BAUS accredited national database figures). The Da Vinci X robot is exclusively offered at Kent and Canterbury Hospital in East Kent.

In the NHS he runs a dedicated diagnostic clinic for blood in urine (haematuria) and male LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms) – symptoms related to benign enlarged prostates. He is therefore pleased to offer his expert skills in these services privately. Milan will explain the various technologies and suit the appropriate treatment to your needs.

Milan is  passionate about teaching and is an assigned educational supervisor for higher surgical trainees in Urology in the KSS Deanery. He received a Trust Award for Recognition of Training at East Kent Hospitals. He has published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences. He also recently co-authored a book chapter on kidney cancer surgery. He supports national charities in Urology Cancer, through presentations and sporting challenges.

In addition he was a clinical lead for the introduction of a new IT healthcare system to East Kent NHS Trust, which is revolutionising the safe management of patient care through electronic systems.

He welcomes patient feedback, which is readily available on online platforms for patients to review.
