The Vattikuti Urology Institute (VUI) at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan is a clinical and research center for urological care.〔(Henry Ford Hospital - The Vattikuti Urology Institute )〕 The VUI is notable for being the first institute to establish robotic surgery as a treatment for patients with prostate cancer.〔〔(Science Daily - "Fast Track" )〕〔(MSNBC - Robots Invade The Operating Room )〕 To date, the VUI has performed more than 5,000 robotic procedures.〔 The institute currently has 110 regular staff members, 19 full-time senior staff members, 14 clinical staff members and 5 full-time Ph.D scientists.〔 Ranked consistently high by U.S. News and World Report, VUI is also one of the largest and most active urology departments in the United States, with nearly 50,000 patients annually from all 50 states and nearly 25 countries.〔
== History ==
The Henry Ford Hospital recruited Dr. Mani Menon, a urologist, to revive the prostate cancer program in 1997.〔(Henry Ford Hospital - Mani Menon, MD )〕 In 1999, a Michigan philanthropist, Raj Vattikuti announced a research initiative to help patients with prostate cancer. The University of Michigan, William Beaumont Hospital and Henry Ford Hospital competed for the funds. Menon’s proposal, submitted by Henry Ford Hospital, was to establish an institute to develop techniques of minimally invasive surgery for prostate cancer. This proposal was accepted by the Vattikuti Foundation and the Vattikuti Urology Institute was initialized in 2001.〔(All Businesses - Two Michigan Hospitals Get $40 Million For Cancer Research )〕
