Nesbit Visiting Professor
Mani Menon, MD
Clinical Professor and Director of Strategy and Innovation
Mount Sinai Hospital
New York, NY
Dr. Mani Menon is an internationally recognized pioneer of robotic surgery in urology, best known for performing the first robotic radical prostatectomy in the United States and refining it—through four randomized trials—into what is now the global standard of care for localized prostate cancer.
Trained at JIPMER in Pondicherry, India, he completed his urology residency under Dr. Patrick Walsh at the Brady Urological Institute, Johns Hopkins. He became Chairman of Urology at Henry Ford Hospital in 1997, where he founded the world's first cancer-focused robotics program and the Vattikuti Urology Institute. There he developed landmark techniques including the "veil" nerve-sparing prostatectomy, robotic kidney transplantation with regional hypothermia, and the precision (Menon) prostatectomy. He later held senior roles at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Now retired from clinical practice, he runs the Menon Academic Partnership, facilitating academic exchange across the US and internationally.
He has published over 1,000 papers, chapters, and abstracts, trained more than 80 robotic surgeons, and helped establish 35+ robotic programs worldwide. His honors include the AUA Gold Cystoscope and Hugh Hampton Young Awards, the Keyes Medal, India's Dr. B.C. Roy National Award, and induction into the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars.
