He has held numerous prestigious roles including Director of Surgery at The Christie, Lead Penile Surgeon for the North West of England, Executive Committee member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons Section of Andrology and Genito-Urethral Surgery, and Chair of NHS England's Specialised Urology and Cancer Surgery Clinical Reference Group. He continues with clinical roles in NHS England and chairs the Cancer Stream for eUROGEN (EU rare disease network), amongst his other national and international roles.
Prof. Sangar's clinical interests include blue light cystoscopy, circumcision, hydrocelectomy, inflatable penile prosthesis, prostate biopsy, and vasectomy (male sterilization) and its reversal. He treats conditions such as benign prostate hyperplasia, bladder cancer, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, Peyronie's disease, prostate cancer, and testicular pain. His dedication to advancing urological care and his extensive expertise make him a leading figure in his field.
