Mani Menon, MD, has been named chief of strategy and innovation in Mount Sinai Health System’s department of urology.
Menon also will serve as professor of urology, director of education and director of the precision prostatectomy program in the department of urology at Icahn Mount Sinai and Center of Excellence for Prostate Cancer at The Tisch Cancer Institute.
“Dr. Menon is an outstanding leader whose pioneering work in robotic surgery has dramatically transformed the world of surgery,” Ashutosh “Ash” K. Tewari, MD, chair of the Milton and Carroll Petrie department of urology at Icahn Mount Sinai, said in a press release. “Having been his resident and fellow during the early days of robotics, it is now with renewed energy and honor that I look forward to working with Dr. Menon on expanding our programs in urologic innovation and education.”
Menon — who has performed more than 6,000 robotic prostatectomy surgeries — previously served as emeritus director for Vattikuti Urology Institute at Henry Ford Health System. While there, he incorporated computer-integrated surgical systems into clinical practice and established the first cancer-oriented robotics program.
“I am thrilled to join the committed and highly respected team of physicians at Mount Sinai who share my dedication to providing compassionate care to patients,” Menon said in the release. “I look forward to working together to mentor future generations of urologists, to move the needle on urological research and, most importantly, to provide safe and exceptional care to the patients we serve.”
