About
Mr Alaiyi West is a Consultant Urological Surgeon with specialist expertise in treating enlarged prostates and kidney stones. Following specialist urology training and research at Newcastle University, he was appointed Consultant Urologist at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where he leads services for men requiring surgery for enlarged prostates.
One of the UK's most experienced HoLEP surgeons, Mr West regularly receives referrals from fellow urologists to treat patients with large or complex prostates, including men whose previous treatments have not been successful. HoLEP can be used to treat prostates of any size or shape, making it an effective option for patients who may not be suitable for other procedures.
Mr West takes a personalised approach to care, ensuring each patient receives the investigation, advice and treatment best suited to their individual needs.
Patient Testimonial: HoLEP Surgery
“It gives me great pleasure to inform you both and your
nursing team how happy I am with the HOLEP procedure Mr West carried out at the
Nuffield Health Tees Hospital on my Prostate gland.
It has made me so happy and I am now enjoying life to the fullest having suffered for many years with BPH. The procedure I have to say was totally pain free and a trip to the dentist was more of a unpleasant experience! To this day, 5 weeks post-op I have not taken a painkiller at all.
Memory’s (sic) that I will never forget during my hospital procedure, the anaesthetist and the nurse that wheeled me into the operating theatre, the smile, warmth and personalities from these two happy faces was such a joy and confidence boosting for me obviously being anxious and tense for what was to come, two lovely dedicated people.
The aftercare following my morning procedure was unbelievable - every 10 minutes a nurse entered my private room to check on me on an ongoing basis that went on for hours.
The morning after the op (Yes - nurses checking in on me throughout the whole midnight hours)a nurse removed my catheter and 3 hours after a memory I will never, “ever” forget my bladder emptied naturally, and having had endured 14 months previously with a indwelling catheter this was an absolute delight!!
Mr West with his expertise, skill and experience, and his nursing team I have to say VERY PROFESSIONAL!! Thank you for giving me back what my body was designed to do and the ability to empty my bladder naturally!!
Kindest of Regards to Mr West and the Nuffield Tees Hospital nursing team.”
