About
Glenn M. Cannon is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, particularly robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. His most cited work, a multi-institutional study on robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux (119 citations), established key safety and efficacy benchmarks for this approach. Cannon has also made significant contributions to pediatric pyeloplasty, including a seminal cost analysis (76 citations) that demonstrated the economic viability of robotic surgery compared to traditional laparoscopy. His research extends to complex reconstructive procedures, such as the Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (59 citations), and he has critically examined postoperative care, including prophylactic antibiotic use after pyeloplasty. Notably, Cannon has addressed transparency in surgical research, authoring a study on conflicts of interest in robotic urology publications (16 citations). With over 300 total citations, his work has shaped clinical guidelines and surgical practice, helping to establish robotic surgery as a safe, effective, and cost-conscious option in pediatric urology.
