About

John L. Phillips is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate disease and adrenal tumors. His most-cited paper, "Prostatectomy for benign prostate disease: open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques" (2015, 55 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of surgical approaches for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), highlighting the evolution from open to minimally invasive methods in the post-MTOPS era. Phillips further explores perioperative outcomes in "Perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches to pheochromocytoma" (2020, 29 citations), comparing safety and efficacy across surgical modalities for this rare adrenal tumor. His contributions extend to surgical education through "Surgical Telementoring and Teleproctoring" (2020, 5 citations), addressing remote guidance in robotic surgery. Phillips also investigates treatment selection in prostate cancer, as seen in "What Is the 'True' Incidence of Active Surveillance and Brachytherapy Candidates in Men Undergoing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy?" (2010, 4 citations), which correlates clinical low-risk cancers with pathologic outcomes. With a focus on iatrogenic and doulogenic complications in robotic surgery (2010, 2 citations), Phillips’ work informs safer, more effective urologic care, bridging innovation and patient outcomes.
