in 2005, kirby established the prostate centre in wimpole street, london. he had previously been watching the development of robotic prostatectomies, which provided better vision of the pelvic nerves, and in 2005, for the purpose of performing laparoscopic prostatectomies, a da vinci surgical robot was purchased by the centre. this provided better vision of the pelvic nerves and at the age of 55, he became one of the first surgeons in england to use one. from 2005, the centre therefore offered minimally invasive laparoscopic prostatectomy with a more holistic approach, advising on a wide range of men's health, including diet and exercise.
