He has been at the forefront of developing robotic minimally invasive surgery working as an advisor and technology developer with Intuitive Surgical and the DaVinci robotic system. He has developed techniques that allow the majority of his patients to benefit from this more precise and also gentler way of doing surgery, widening the applicability of this technology to a wide range of situations and conditions. Whilst technical surgical excellence is the heart of his approach, Mr Routledge is very much focused on patient experience and support for patients' families during the challenging time that surrounds any surgical treatment, and has built a team at London Bridge Hospital and across HCA London to achieve this.
Mr Routledge continues to be a key opinion leader in robotic
thoracic surgery across Europe and the UK, having developed many of the core
techniques and trained many other senior surgeons. His personal
experience and expertise thus exceed many other surgeons ion this field,
especially in the treatment of tumours, cancerous and otherwise.
A recent significant advance in the treatments he offers is
surgery using the Intuitive Da Vinci SP (Single Port) robotic platform. https://www.intuitive.com/en-us/products-and-services/da-vinci/sp.
This is a treatment unique in the UK currently to HCA London Bridge
Hospital, and Mr Routledge’s surgical practice. It allows robotic surgery
through a 3cm incision underneath the rib cage, rather than several incisions
in between the ribs. Quite simply this allows high complexity thoracic
surgery to be carried out with a dramatic reduction in the discomfort that
follows, and potentially a much more rapid return to full physical activity, and
is a dramatic step forwards benefitting patients through surgical technology
and technique.We are proud to be World leaders in bringing this innovation to
HCA patients.
