About Richard Graham Hindley
Richard Graham Hindley Personal Profile
Richard’s expertise in treating BPH led to his involvement in introducing Rezum therapy to the UK in 2018, enhancing the portfolio of treatment options for this condition to provide patients with a choice and the opportunity for minimally invasive options, allowing a rapid recovery and return to normal activities.
Richard’s time as a research fellow in Brighton triggered his interest in voiding problems, during which time he set up and recruited to a randomised trial of drugs to try and facilitate bladder emptying. Within a year of his appointment as a Consultant in 2004 he had successfully introduced the Greenlight laser technology to his new day unit at Hampshire Hospitals.
Over the intervening time period he has acted as an expert adviser to NICE committees assessing various BPH treatments including Greenlight laser, Aquablation and Rezum water vapour therapy.
In 2017 he was awarded a visiting professor position at the University of Winchester, where he is currently working on a project with the department of psychology exploring decision making for men facing an expanding portfolio of BPH treatment options.
In 2017 he was the first UK surgeon to perform a Rezum procedure, and has now performed over 1000 procedures using this minimally invasive technology. He is now recognised as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in the field of BPH management, and is regularly asked to lecture both at national and international meetings and conferences.
In 2021 Richard was asked to chair the GIRFT bladder outlet obstruction academy, subsequently publishing a guide on best practice for UK management for men with symptoms due to benign prostatic obstruction. With experience in all BPH minimally invasive treatment options he is well placed to advise men looking for alleviation of symptoms with a low risk of side-effects.
Alongside treating BPH, Richard specialises in the diagnosis of prostate cancer following a pathway combining MRI scan and fusion biopsies to access the most accurate method of diagnosis, thereby facilitating the patient’s decision for treatment options. Richard also offers High Intensity Focal Ultrasound Treatment (HIFU) to those patients who this is suitable for.
Using these techniques for prostate cancer diagnosis ensures he can exclude any cancer concerns before addressing benign prostate symptoms
