Most people with a lung nodule are told to wait and watch. That's often correct. But when the nodule is growing, the features are suspicious, or the window for cure is narrowing — waiting costs lives. I'm Mr Lawrence Okiror, Consultant Thoracic and Robotic Surgeon at Guy's and St Thomas' — ranked #1 and #2 in the UK (Newsweek World's Best Hospitals 2026) — and London Bridge Hospital, the UK's highest-ranked private hospital at #10. I am one of the highest volume surgeons in the largest Thoracic Surgery Centre in the UK. More than 80% performed robotically or by keyhole. Private practice at HCA London Bridge, Lister Hospital and Canary Wharf with appointments within 2–3 days. No GP referral required. I lead the Central Airways Service and Advanced Emphysema Surgical Service at GSTT, and lead the Cardiothoracic Surgery Robotics Advisory Panel at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
