Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid

Mr Abou-Chedid has been exceptional in his professionalism and his bedside manner. It's scary knowing you have cancer but throughout I have been made to feel as comfortable ,assured and also aware of all possibilities. I personally cannot thank you all enough for how I've been treated over the last few months.

I would rate my experience with Mr Abou-Chedid a perfect 10 As a very daunting surgery (my first ever at the age of 68), I was really worried. But after talking to Mr Abou-Chedid, my mind was put at ease and I felt like it was not a major surgery at all and I would breeze throught it. He was right. I was in and out of hospital in a day and took the Catheter out myself after one week at home so a visit back to the hospital wasn,t needed. My recovery exceeded all expectations. No problems with incontinence and now, 10 weeks on, I am back to playing golf and lifting light weights.

I recently underwent a prostatectomy and was very well looked after throughout. Every step of the procedure was explained clearly, which left me feeling informed and comfortable. I was very pleased with the outcome, especially with the minimal surgery and small incisions made. Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid was extremely polite and clear when outlining the process and surgery, which gave me great confidence.

In July 2025 I underwent an elective Retzius-sparing bilateral nerve preserving robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford. Whilst in the run-up to surgery (diagnosis, MRI scan, trans perineal biopsy and follow-up consultations) I saw several Consultants from the Urology team at the Stokes Centre, when it down to the procedure, Mr Abou-Chedid performed this. The literature provided by the NHS ahead of the surgery cautions about the possible side-effects of surgery - with continence and erectile function being my two primary areas of concern. Writing this now, some 8-weeks post op, I find myself in excellent order. The surgery was a complete success, with the Prostate cancer completely excised (I learnt this week). Happily, thanks to Mr Abou-Chedid's surgical excellence, I am experiencing no side-effects: am fully continent and having good erections. I am both grateful and feeling blessed that life has returned to normal with no complications. Having spoken to many other men about their experience of surgery following a Prostate Cancer diagnosis, my story is somewhat more positive than theirs. So, if you are finding yourself in the position of having to consider surgery, and are reading this, I wholeheartedly recommend you seek Mr Abou-Chedid's services, be it via the NHS or through private healthcare.

All aspects of procedure were explained fully before operation. Follow up by Mr Abou-Chedid carried out in morning after overnight stay.

Following referal to Royal Surrey for a radical prostatectomy, I met Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid who provided a clear explanation of the procedure, the recovery pathway and possible outcomes. On the day, surgery went smoothly and Mr Abou-Chedid and his team showed great care and professionalism throughout. Post-op, both speed and quality of recovery has exceeded my expectations and follow up appointments with Mr Abou-Chedid and his team have answered all my questions and concerns.

My operation was two weeks ago for radical robotic prostatectomy and due to Mr Abou-Chedid precision my nerves were preserved. This resulted in no side effects, like incontinence or erection issues. I’m pleased to say I am nearly back to normal. Mr Abou-Chedid on a personal level was very attentive , put me at ease and explained and answered all questions thoroughly. Fantastic Surgeon.

I wish every Doctor/Surgeon were like Wissam Abou-Chedid, he made me feel that everything was going to be ok, and the confidence he had in helping me to overcome my problem made me feel that I was in safe hands. I have nothing but praise for him. It's not often that you meet someone as caring and professional as he is. I consider myself very lucky to have been in his care.

The professionalism was excellent from the moment of the initial consultation through to the post surgical care. The whole process that I was to go through was explained in a clear and concise manner that left me feeling reassured; with all my questions fully answered. The operation was untaken by a very competent and friendly team, who looked after me very well. My post operational recovery has been good with no pain or problems.

Having never had to have spent any time in hospital going in for an operation was a little daunting! However the team at Royal Surrey County Hospital were excellent. Andy the anaesthetist and Jane the theatre nurse made me feel relaxed before the anaesthetic was applied and when I came round in the recovery ward the nurses who looked after me (checking blood pressure etc) were all kind and personable. My surgery was very successful, thanks to the excellent surgical skills of Wissam, and I didn't require any painkillers and have had none of the side effects that are associated with a radical prostatectomy. Before being discharged, the day after surgery, I was visited by the specialist nurses Helen and Maria. They checked my incisions and removed the dressings and answered a few queries that I had. It is now 6 weeks since my operation and all is well. I had my first opportunity to thank Wissam yesterday during our phone appointment for the first class outcome he was able to achieve for me which far exceeded my expectations.
