About

John M. Corman is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has centered on advancing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate cancer. He is best known for his pioneering investigations into the mechanical reliability of the da Vinci robotic system, with his landmark 2007 study on its failure rate (69 citations) providing critical data for preoperative patient counseling and surgical safety. Corman has also made significant contributions to improving postoperative outcomes, including a randomized study on belladonna and opium suppositories for pain management following robotic prostatectomy (17 citations) and research linking post-operative drain output to bladder neck contracture (13 citations). His innovative work extends to novel surgical techniques, such as using indocyanine green for ureteral identification during colorectal resections (31 citations), and practical cost-saving measures, including a study questioning the necessity of routine preoperative blood typing (2 citations). With a career spanning over two decades, Corman’s research has directly influenced surgical protocols, enhanced patient safety, and optimized recovery pathways, making him a respected authority in the field of robotic urologic oncology.
