The Foundation catapulted the advancement of robotic surgery to improve outcomes for patients with prostate cancer with a noteworthy contribution of $20 Million to form the Vattikuti Urology Institute at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan.   Under the vision of pioneer urologist, Dr. Mani Menon and team introduced and perfected a new methodology for prostate surgery with the “Vattikuti Institute Prostatectomy.”   Notoriety spread of the success in using robots to assist surgeons for prostate cancer, showcasing the value of computer-assisted surgery to the world.  Minimally invasive robotic surgery applications now are soaring and well-accepted by the patients and surgeons alike, becoming the standard of care across the globe.

Coinciding with the advancements in robotic surgery for prostate surgery, the VF bestowed $20 Million to the William Beaumont Hospital in Michigan to build the state-of-the-art Vattikuti Digital Breast Diagnostic Center.  Over the last two decades,  thousands of women have received expert diagnosis and care with the technology, equipment and advancements underwritten by the VF.

The Foundation continuously conducts international training activities and forums, leads the adoption of robotic surgery and partners across hospitals in four continents to teach, contribute surgical data, share surgical techniques and collaborate through professional organizations.

The VF prides itself as a vital interface between emerging technologies and applications on human subjects to improve lives.    One of its near-term goals is to implement home monitored patient care (outside-the-hospital) using technology-driven approaches to cut the cost of treatment and improve treatment outcomes.

The VF also is dedicated to uplift the ultra-poor strata of society and help to bring people above the poverty line.  Empowering, enriching, enlightening and improving the lives of generations to come is the quest at the Vattikuti Foundation.
