Our Approach to Reconstructive Urology
Montefiore Einstein Reconstructive Urology provides comprehensive individualized care to adults and children with a wide range of genitourinary (GU) conditions, including congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, neurologic and postsurgical conditions and cancer-related complications involving the GU tract. Our doctors specialize in open and minimally invasive endourologic and robotic reconstructive urology procedures using the latest technologies. Our world-renowned multidisciplinary team includes urologists collaborating closely with plastic surgeons, colorectal surgeons, urogynecologists and gynecologic oncologists to restore GU function and improve quality of life. We’re ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for urology care according to U.S. News & World Report.
We understand that these conditions can be painful, debilitating and difficult to talk about. Our compassionate team of specialists is here to help you regain confidence, restore intimacy and improve your quality of life. Our team is committed to providing individualized care based on the latest techniques to help you achieve your goals, from sexual function to urinary control and beyond. We offer a wide range of treatments and will work closely with you to find the one that best fits your needs.
Advanced Diagnostics & Surgical Techniques
Our multidisciplinary team uses the latest diagnostic testing technologies, including high-resolution 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), abdominal X-ray and ultrasound, advanced cystoscopy techniques and multichannel video urodynamic studies.
We use leading-edge surgical approaches—both open and minimally invasive, including endourologic, laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques—for faster recovery.
Some of the surgeries we perform include the following:
- Robotic-assisted surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse
- Surgical management of mesh and graft complications
- Penile prosthesis implantation for erectile dysfunction
- Artificial urinary sphincter implantation and other incontinence devices
- Ureteral and bladder reconstruction after trauma or cancer treatments (including robotic bladder augmentation and continent urinary diversion)
- Buccal mucosa grafting (using the inner cheek lining) and transurethral approaches for strictures
- Buried penis repair with split-thickness skin grafts
- Penile reconstruction procedures for Peyronie’s disease
- Diverticulectomies for urethral and bladder diverticula
- Surgical management for urogenital fistulas (involving the vagina, urethra, bladder or ureters)
- Urethral sling
- Colposuspension procedures
Research & Clinical Trials
We are spearheading collaborative research and clinical trials, translating novel scientific discoveries into new diagnostics and treatments to help improve clinical outcomes. Some of our research focuses on exploring the underlying mechanisms, developing new treatments and optimizing outcomes for numerous urological conditions—from urethral strictures, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders to GU cancers. As a leader in both basic and translational research in erectile and bladder physiology, our Department has made significant contributions to the field of urology.
