Genital and urinary organ reconstruction rebuilds damaged structures in your genitals and urinary system. We provide the most advanced and minimally invasive reconstructive procedures available. We’re passionate about helping you understand your options and using our expertise to improve your health and quality of life.
Genitourinary reconstruction is always a delicate procedure. Our expertise extends to the most high-risk and complex reconstructions. We use a collaborative approach to work closely with all the specialists on your care team.
We use the full range of available methods for urologic reconstruction. Our treatment options include artificial urinary sphincters, mesh complication repair, pelvic floor restoration, penile implants, plastic surgery and skin grafts.
Our state-of-the-art robotic procedures allow us the precision needed to protect your nerves during surgery. These minimally invasive procedures use small incisions and have shorter recovery times than other methods.
Reconstructive urology involves surgery to repair your genitourinary tract to restore genital and urinary function.
Bladder fistulas are abnormal openings in your bladder.
Congenital abnormalities are structure problems that were present at birth.
Erectile dysfunction can make it hard to achieve or maintain an erection. Reconstructive surgery can often correct erectile dysfunction when it stems from structural problems.
Injuries to your genitals or urinary system may occur from accidents, cancer treatment, sports or surgery. They can also happen as complications of diseases or procedures.
Your pelvic floor supports your bladder, reproductive organs and other structures in your lower abdomen. Pelvic floor disorders can cause incontinence, pain, pelvic organ prolapse and other symptoms.
Urethral strictures happen when scar tissue forms in your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder out of your body). This damage is typically due to an injury. The stricture narrows your urethra, often causing urinary problems.
Incontinence may cause you to leak urine by accident or have frequent or sudden urges to urinate even if your bladder isn’t full.
We have expertise in performing all types of urologic reconstruction. From removing blockages to repairing organs, our urologic surgery team has a solution that will work for you.
A urinary sphincter implant (prosthesis) replaces the muscles around your urethra that let you decide when to urinate. This device treats urinary incontinence and prevent urine leakage.
We perform bladder reconstruction to correct damage or problems caused by congenital conditions, injury, radiation treatment and tumor removal.
We specialize in repairing fistulae that affect the bladder, vagina or other genitourinary structures.
Cancer surgery, injuries or conditions such as Peyronie’s disease can damage your genitals. We use a variety of techniques, including plastic surgery and robotic-assisted procedures, to restore genital appearance and function.
We provide options for pelvic slings and other pelvic support devices. We also perform reconstructive surgery for pelvic prolapse.
A penile implant is an inflatable or movable device placed inside the penis that helps a man achieve an erection. We offer three different penile implant options for treating erectile dysfunction.
Cancer surgery and radiation can damage organs. After cancer treatment, our specialists can repair all types of damage to genitourinary structures.
We perform scar tissue removal and urethra reconstruction for urethral strictures. We also offer a procedure which reconstructs or compresses the urinary sphincter to help with bladder control.
