Urologist specializing in advanced robotic surgery joins Marshall medical faculty

Dr. James C. Jensen, a urologist with extensive experience in advanced robotic surgery for prostate cancer, will join the faculty of the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in September.
 
Based on industry statistics, Jensen is among the top 20 robotic surgeons in the world. His Salt Lake City robotic prostate surgery program is one of the busiest in the western United States. He has performed hundreds of robotic surgeries, including more than 200 of the complex surgeries to remove the prostate gland.

As part of University Urological Associates, Jensen will use Cabell Huntington Hospital’s new advanced robotic surgical technology, the da Vinci Surgical System. His specialty interests include general and urologic oncology, reconstructive urology, urodynamics, and male and female urinary dysfunction and incontinence.

Jensen graduated magna cum laude from the University of Utah, where he was selected for membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He received his medical degree from the University of Chicago and his residency training at the UCLA Medical Center, where he served as the chief resident in urology. He did his fellowship training in urologic oncology at the National Cancer Institute and the University of Utah. A board-certified urologist, he also is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
