Mr Ketan Agarwal is a Consultant Urological Surgeon with a specialist interest in robotic and minimally invasive surgery for urological cancer. He is a full-time NHS consultant and is pleased to offer private consultations and treatment at Fairfield Independent Hospital.

Mr Agarwal graduated from the University of Liverpool before completing specialist urological training across Merseyside. He subsequently achieved the FRCS (Urol) qualification following successful completion of higher surgical training and the Intercollegiate Specialty Board Examinations. Alongside his clinical training, he completed Master's degrees in both Research and Urology, reflecting his commitment to evidence-based practice and continual professional development.

To further develop his expertise, Mr Agarwal completed an advanced Fellowship in Robotic Uro-Oncological Surgery, gaining extensive experience in complex robotic procedures. He has remained at the forefront of innovation within his specialty and was the first Urology Fellow in the UK to gain experience with the pioneering da Vinci Single Port robotic platform. More recently, he became the first surgeon in the country to successfully perform a robotic radical prostatectomy using the latest da Vinci 5 surgical system, demonstrating his commitment to advancing surgical care through the adoption of new technologies and techniques.

Alongside his specialist surgical expertise, Mr Agarwal is passionate about delivering care that is tailored to each individual patient. He understands that many urological symptoms and diagnoses can be worrying, and believes that patients should feel fully informed, listened to and supported throughout their treatment journey. He places great importance on clear communication and shared decision-making, taking time to explain investigations, treatment options and expected outcomes so that patients can make informed choices about their care.

As a full-time NHS Consultant Urological Surgeon, Mr Agarwal works closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality care across a broad range of urological conditions. In addition to his clinical practice, he is actively involved in education and training as a Urology Training Lead within the NHS, supervising and mentoring resident doctors, surgical trainees and medical students.

Mr Agarwal also maintains a strong interest in research and academic activity. He has presented at both national and international scientific meetings and published work in peer-reviewed journals. Through ongoing involvement in research, education and professional conferences, he ensures his practice remains aligned with the latest developments in urological care.

Patients and colleagues consistently describe Mr Agarwal as approachable, professional and compassionate. He believes that technical excellence should always be accompanied by kindness, honesty and respect, and strives to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care from their first consultation through to treatment and follow-up.

Outside of work, Mr Agarwal enjoys spending time with his family and friends and making the most of time with his young daughter as she grows up.
