About

Dr. Jonathan Mobley is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on enhancing the safety and precision of robot-assisted renal surgery. His most impactful contribution is the introduction of the "second time-out" safety checklist for lengthy robotic procedures, a protocol designed to mitigate peri-operative risks and address the unique challenges of extended surgeries—a paper that has garnered 46 citations and influenced surgical best practices. Dr. Mobley has also advanced the understanding of kidney function preservation, demonstrating that patients with pathologically proven renal disease experience similar declines in renal function following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) as those without, a finding with 5 citations that informs patient counseling and surgical decision-making. Additionally, his work on retroperitoneal access techniques for robotic renal surgery, cited 3 times, provides a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to optimize minimally invasive approaches. Through these contributions, Dr. Mobley has helped refine both the procedural safety and the functional outcomes of robotic urologic surgery, making a lasting impact on the field.
