Ms. Christine Gan

Miss Christine Gan qualified from Oxford University in 2008, before completing Urology specialty training in the North-West London deanery. She was appointed Consultant Urological Surgeon at Lister Hospital in 2019, and practices privately at the Ramsay Pinehill Hospital in Hitchin. Miss Gan has a specialist interest in the assessment and management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men, particularly those caused by an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). She regularly treats men with urinary symptoms such as poor urinary flow, urgency, incontinence, night time urination, and urinary retention. She established and runs a one-stop benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) clinic at the Lister Hospital, providing streamlined assessment and treatment planning for men with urinary symptoms. Miss Gan offers a full range of modern surgical treatments for enlarged prostates. She has extensive experience in holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), an advanced surgical technique suitable for large prostates, and has a particular interest in day-case HoLEP pathways, enabling selected patients to undergo effective surgical treatment with rapid recovery and same-day discharge. She also offers Aquablation therapy, a robotically guided waterjet ablation technique, and Rezum water vapour therapy for suitable patients, particularly those seeking minimally invasive options while preserving sexual function. Having experience over a wide range of surgical techniques allows Miss Gan to provide a tailored treatment plan according to individual patient priorities, including recovery time, avoidance of long-term catheterisation, and preservation of sexual function. Aside from BPH, Miss Gan also has an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of Urological cancers. She developed and currently runs the transurethral laser ablation (TULA) service for outpatient management of small bladder tumours. Miss Gan has published widely and has presented at national and international Urology conferences. She is also active in training Urology residents and providing teaching sessions for GPs.
