About
Dickon Hayne is a leading urological oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes for prostate cancer patients through the integration of exercise and precision surgical assessment. His most impactful work investigates the timing of supervised exercise interventions, comparing prehabilitation (exercise before surgery) with traditional rehabilitation (exercise after surgery) in men undergoing prostatectomy. This landmark 2023 study, with 17 citations, demonstrated that commencing exercise prior to surgery can improve objective and patient-reported outcomes, reduce hospital length of stay, and mitigate urinary incontinence—a finding that challenges standard postoperative care protocols. Hayne has also pioneered the use of ultrasensitive prostate specific antigen (PSA) assays following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, using this technology as an outcome measure to define the surgical learning curve and improve quality control. His work bridges the gap between surgical technique and holistic patient recovery, offering evidence-based strategies to enhance both clinical and functional results. With a career dedicated to refining prostate cancer management, Hayne’s contributions are shaping how clinicians approach perioperative care and long-term survivorship.
