Dr. Mani Menon, M.D., is a pioneer in robotic surgery and
one of the foremost urologists in the United States. His
robotic surgery innovations have made robotic prostatectomy
the surgical standard of care for prostate cancer. Dr.
Menon also developed the first catheter-free approach.
He joined the Henry Ford Hospital in 1997 to invigorate its
prostate cancer program. Since performing the first robotic
prostatectomy at Henry Ford Hospital in 2001, Dr. Menon and
the Vattikuti Urology Institute team continue to have the
longest and largest robotic prostate surgery experience in
the U.S. and the world: nearly 10 years and more than 6,000
robotic prostate surgeries. Prior to that, in the
1980's, he headed the University of Massachusetts
Medical School's Division of Urological and
Transplantation Surgery. Under Dr. Menon's leadership,
the Department of Urology at the University of
Massachusetts became the largest in New England and one of
the best in the country, as ranked by the U.S. News and
World Report.
Trained under the eminent Urologist Patrick Walsh, M.D, at
the Brady Urological Institute, John Hopkins, Dr. Menon
became the youngest tenured clinical faculty member and one
of the first surgeons in the world to perform nerve-sparing
radical prostatectomy.
Dr. Menon has published over 1000 papers and abstracts,
primarily in the field of robotic surgery, renal
transplantation and urolithiasis. His work has appeared in
the major urological journals as well as in the New England
journal of Medicine. He is a past member of the National
Kidney and Urologic Diseases Advisory Board and a trustee
of the American Board of Urology. In addition to running
the Vattikuti Urology Institute at Henry Ford Hospital, Dr.
Menon oversees the Institute's yearly International
Robotic Urology Symposium and lectures at numerous
universities and hospitals throughout the world where he
lectures and performs robotic surgery. He is committed to
training the next generation of urologists.
Profiled in The Best Doctors of America and the
International Who's Who in Biology and Medicine, Dr.
Menon is the recipient of many awards and honors like, the
B.C. Roy National Award for Eminence in Medicine [2008],
Gold Cystoscope Award from the American Urological
Association and Shushruta Award of Distinction in Urology
from the Indian American Urological Association, to name a
few.
Dr. Menon, an alumnus of the Jawaharlal Institute of
Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIMPER)
Pondichery, India, completed his residency in Urology at
the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University
in Baltimore, USA.
