Mr Abou Chedid earned his medical degree from the University of Saint Joseph in Beirut before completing his urology specialist training at Henry Mondor University Hospital in Paris.
He further honed his skills through fellowships in minimally invasive and robotic surgery at Saint Augustin Clinic in Bordeaux and the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in Guildford.
He was then appointed as a consultant urological surgeon at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in February 2022. His robust academic background, including multiple postgraduate diplomas in Andrology, Laparoscopic surgery, urodynamics and pelviperineology, a master's degree in biomedical sciences and a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, provides a solid foundation for his work.
Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid has distinguished himself as a leader in the field, particularly in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive procedures for prostate cancer and benign prostatic enlargement.

Dr Wissam provided exceptional medical service in undertaking my prostatectomy. The pre and post surgery support and explanation was professional and had clarity. My recovery, 9 weeks, since surgery has gone better than I could have imagined and I am positive with life ahead due to the exceptional and speedy treatment I received through Dr Wissam’s team. Highly rated and respected surgeon.

Mr Abou-Chedid's clear and honest explanation of the procedure inspired confidence at a worrying time. From a patient perspective the process was clear and straightforward, and the side-effects much milder than I was expecting. Clearly an excellent surgeon!

Mr. Abou-Chedid could not have done more to put both my wife and me at ease from our initial meeting. He was empathetic, professional and reassuring. His explanations were thorough and totally plausible and from the outset I wanted to put my trust in him and let him undertake my surgery. All pre and post operative care has been first class: his staff are excellent and the specialist nurses are wonderful.

Mr Chedid dealt with my prostate operation/treatment. I have no hesitation to recommend him and his team who were first class from start to finish. I felt totally informed every step of the process, and felt able to contact the team with any questions/queries at any time.
5
I had no previous experience of urological procedures or consultants, so my choice of professional was based upon research. The factors I looked for were: broad experience of relevant procedures, up-to-date knowledge in the field and patient reviews. I was happy that all my requirements were fully met.
5
From the moment I was recommended to Mr Abou-Chedid I have been very well cared for, kept informed and offered the information to make decisions about my care. My operation has been a complete success. He took a real personal interest in how I was doing . This included giving up his Sunday morning to see me before I was discharged.

I was told by a nurse to "write this man's name down" and I am very grateful to them. Mr Abou-Chedid's care was second to none. He was always available when needed showing a rare combination of skill, knowledge and compassion. This man's in the right job! Heartily recommend.

This year’s exclusive course in #roboticsurgery at IRCAD brought together 44 participants from 17 countries, all united in their commitment to advancing their robotic surgical skills. Through immersive hands-on sessions, attendees performed robotic prostatectomy, cystectomy, and partial nephrectomy on cadavers, gaining invaluable practical experience. The event fostered a dynamic environment of innovation and learning. Thought-provoking discussions covered cutting-edge developments in the field, while renowned experts delivered lectures exploring intricate surgical techniques. Live surgery video sessions offered practical tips and real-time insights, enriching the educational experience. I was delighted to contribute by speaking about #Retzius_sparing robotic #prostatectomy and sharing my own experience with this technique. With international representation from Brazil, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Spain, the UK, and the USA, the IRCAD #urologyfamily, brought together by Thierry Piechaud, continues to lead the way not only in innovation and excellence in robotic surgery, but also in shaping the next generation through world-class teaching.

It was a pleasure to attend the #AUA25 meeting in Las Vegas and reconnect with friends and colleagues from around the world to discuss innovations and advances in #roboticsurgery and the treatment of #prostatecancer and benign prostatic enlargement. I had the opportunity to present the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust data on two initiatives focused on improving patient experience and quality of life: - Self-removal of suprapubic catheters by patients following #clipless_Retzius_sparing robotic prostatectomy, promoting greater independence after surgery - The use of Penthrox for patients undergoing transperineal prostate biopsies, helping to significantly reduce discomfort during the procedure. I look forward to welcoming friends and colleagues to the UK for #ERUS25 and #EAU26, both of which will be held in London.

It was a pleasure to host my colleagues Michel Wirtz, Gian Luca Soscia, and Naoufel Miaadi from Luxembourg, Belgium, and France at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust! We had some brilliant conversations around the latest in robotic prostatectomy, especially exciting developments like day-case surgery, patient-led catheter removal, and running high-efficiency theatre lists. I performed two #clipless_Retzius_sparing prostatectomies to showcase this technique, which continues to deliver excellent outcomes for our patients. I also demonstrated how we’re using #Arista to control bleeding effectively while preserving functional results. Big thanks to Cédric Louradour, Geoffrey Deffontaine, and Philippe Wartel from the BD team, and of course to our amazing #TeamAwesome, for pulling everything together and making it such a great day. Plenty of innovation ahead in #roboticsurgery for #prostatecancer. Always a pleasure to share, learn, and grow together!

I had a great day at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust where I joined my good friend and talented surgeon Constantinos Adamou to proctor two #clipless_Retzius_sparing robotic prostatectomies. It was a proud moment to help bring this technique to the Midlands, a meaningful milestone as we continue to grow the use of clipless Retzius-sparing surgery across the UK. It’s a game-changer for so many patients, and seeing it take root in more centres is genuinely rewarding. Even more than the cases themselves, what stood out was the chance to connect with the wider team. We had some brilliant conversations about driving innovation in surgical care, from #daycase prostatectomy and #selfremoval of catheters to #highintensity theatre lists. There’s a real appetite for innovation geared toward enhancing patient experience and optimising use of resources. Huge thanks to the team Anup Krishnan, Omer Altan, Donald MacDonald and Kieran Jefferson for the warm welcome and for making the visit such a pleasure. | 10 comments on LinkedIn
