This lab coat belonged to Dr. Mani Menon, an Indian American surgeon trained in India and the United States. His professional career led him to Detroit, Michigan. Together with Raj Vattikuti and Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, they established the Vattikuti Urology Institute to innovate robotic surgery. By implementing robotic surgery, the recovery time and results of many patients have significantly improved. Since his first robotic prostatectomy at the Vattikuti Urology Institute, Dr. Menon has worked to become known worldwide for pioneering robotic surgery for prostate cancer and many of his innovations have made robotic prostatectomy the surgical standard in handling prostate cancer patients.
