About
Dr. John Hines is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for bladder and prostate cancers. His primary contributions center on refining robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion, where he developed the innovative "pyramid neobladder" technique (70 citations)—a method that has improved surgical precision and patient recovery. Hines has critically evaluated outcomes, demonstrating that intracorporeal diversion offers comparable oncological safety to open surgery while reducing complications, particularly for patients with low cardiorespiratory fitness (32 citations). His work on erectile function recovery after radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer (34 citations) provides crucial, evidence-based guidance for patient counseling. Beyond surgical technique, Hines has led impactful health systems research, including cost analyses of major cancer service reconfigurations (13 citations) and safety protocols for non-emergency surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 250 cumulative citations, his studies on transfusion requirements and postoperative complication patterns have directly shaped perioperative care standards. Dr. Hines’s blend of technical innovation, rigorous outcomes analysis, and health policy insight makes him a leading voice in modern urologic oncology.
