About

Andrew Dickinson is a leading urological surgeon whose work has helped define national standards for complex cancer surgery. His research focuses on benchmarking outcomes for radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy, using large-scale, real-world data from the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Complex Operations Database. By analyzing thousands of procedures performed across England between 2016 and 2018, Dickinson established comprehensive, evidence-based standards that allow surgeons and hospitals to compare their practice against national averages. His landmark studies, including "Setting standards for cystectomy" and "A ‘real-world’ standard for radical prostatectomy," provide critical benchmarks for complication rates, length of stay, and oncological outcomes. This work has been instrumental in driving quality improvement in urological surgery, offering patients and clinicians transparent, data-driven expectations. Through his rigorous analysis of national registry data, Dickinson has made a lasting contribution to surgical accountability and patient safety, shaping how complex urological procedures are evaluated and performed across the UK.
