About

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust stands at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery, establishing itself as one of the most influential clinical research institutions in the field globally. Based in London, this world-renowned NHS trust has built an exceptional reputation through pioneering the adoption, evaluation, and refinement of robot-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for bladder, prostate, and renal cancers. The trust's most defining contribution has been its leadership in robotic radical cystectomy research. The landmark CORAL trial — a rare randomised controlled three-arm comparison of open, robotic, and laparoscopic approaches to bladder cancer surgery — has been cited over 330 times and remains a cornerstone reference in urological oncology. Complementing this, the trust's participation in pivotal multicentre studies, including the iROC trial comparing intracorporeal robotic cystectomy against open surgery, has directly shaped international clinical guidelines and surgical practice. Beyond oncological outcomes, researchers here have made substantial contributions to surgical training and simulation. Their work validating virtual reality robotic surgery simulators, developing non-technical skills assessment tools such as the ICARS system, and establishing centralized simulation curricula reflects a deep institutional commitment to surgical education and patient safety — an increasingly critical area as robotic platforms proliferate worldwide. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 1,800 citations across key studies, Guy's and St Thomas' represents an extraordinary environment where clinical innovation meets rigorous scientific evaluation. Prospective collaborators and trainees will find a dynamic, internationally connected institution where cutting-edge robotic surgery, outcomes research, and next-generation surgical education converge under one prestigious roof.
