About me
Professor Abhay Rane OBE
Professor Abhay Rane was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year 2014 Honours List for services to urology.

He is Professor of Urology at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, and Visiting Professor, Canterbury Christ Church University. He was one of the first laparoscopic urological surgeons in the United Kingdom. Instrumental in developing the technique of hand assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy in the UK from 2000, he was the first to described the usefulness of the technique in T3b (advanced) kidney cancers. More recently, he spearheaded the development of laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) in urology as a pioneer and innovator. Having performed the first single port nephrectomy in May 2007 with colleagues in India, he went on to perform the first LESS nephrectomy in Europe in March 2008 at East Surrey Hospital, Redhill. He has been invited to share his experiences at a number of sessions at various cross specialty international meetings, including the American Urological Association and Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
Over the last eighteen years, Professor Rane has mentored laparoscopic skills to other consultants. As a result, of his efforts 18 hospitals in the UK now have a local laparoscopic urology programme. His work on training in laparoscopy has been presented, published and cited extensively.
