About
Dr. Majnu John is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques to improve oncologic outcomes, particularly in prostate cancer management. Dr. John’s most notable contribution is the development of the “anatomical retro‐apical technique” for synchronous urethral transection during robotic prostatectomy, a novel approach described in his highly cited 2010 paper (74 citations) that significantly reduces apical margin positivity. He has also led landmark multi-institutional studies examining the surgical learning curve for RARP, analyzing data from nearly 4,000 patients to establish benchmarks for positive margin rates and operating time. His investigations into prostate volume and its correlation with histopathological outcomes, as well as strategies for identifying contralateral cancer involvement in candidates for focal therapy, have provided critical insights for personalized treatment planning. With multiple publications in top-tier journals and consistent citation impact, Dr. John’s work continues to shape surgical best practices and improve patient outcomes in prostate cancer care.
