Hubert John, Formation in Urology in Winterthur, Zurich, Boston MA and Syracuse NY. Chief of Urology, Kantonsspital Winterthur, Switzerland. Focused in minimal invasive urology and innovative new urological procedures. Several international clinical and basic research awards, as AUA-ACMI-prize 2002, Alken-prize 2001, Munich Innovation prize 2001. Swiss national research foundation and several competitive grants since 10 years. Published over 100 original papers, description of several new operative techniques in radical prostatectomy and urinary incontinence and more than 400 scientific contributions. Editor of the Textbook "Robotic Urology", together with P. Wiklund (Springer, 2008), second edition 2013. First urologic daVinci-procedures in Switzerland 2002. One of the most experienced DaVinci-console surgeons in Europe with over 1000 console surgeon daVinci-procedures including radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, pyeloplasty, partial nephrectomy and many live, and guest proctorships abroad.
