Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute Outcomes

Reconstructive urologists continue to perform a high volume of open abdominal and pelvic surgical procedures for reconstruction of the lower urinary tract for a variety of congenital and acquired conditions. This includes cystectomy with urinary diversion, bladder augmentation, continent catheterizable channels, and fistula repairs. Forty procedures were done in both 2021 and 2022. This extensive experience in open abdominal and pelvic reconstruction continues to foster a local, regional and national referral base for these difficult problems, and provides valuable training for residents and fellows as a high percentage of oncologic operations in the department are now being done robotically.
