About

Justin Houman is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, patient outcomes, and health technology. His key research areas include robotic urologic surgery, postoperative recovery optimization, and the use of wearable activity monitors in surgical care. Houman’s most impactful contribution is a landmark 2019 study on wearable activity monitors, which demonstrated that objective ambulation tracking can predict length of stay after major surgery—a finding cited over 150 times and with the potential to reshape postoperative protocols. He has also made significant contributions to robotic surgery safety and technique, authoring influential analyses of FDA-reported adverse events and litigation trends in robotic urology, as well as pioneering reports on robotic repair of complex post-cystectomy strictures and single-site pyeloplasty. His work on robotic ureteroileal anastomotic stricture repair and transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site pyeloplasty provides stepwise technical guidance for challenging procedures. With over 200 combined citations across his most-cited papers, Houman’s research bridges surgical precision, patient safety, and data-driven recovery—offering practical insights for urologists and surgeons seeking to improve outcomes through technology and evidence-based practice.
