Dr. Steven Brandes, Chief of Reconstructive Urologic Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center and world-renowned expert and thought leader in urologic reconstructive surgery, explains his area of specialization.

Reconstructive Urology is focused on the repair and treatment of complex urologic complications and injuries that are the result of cancer surgery and treatments, surgical complications, radiation therapy, and urologic trauma. This may include reconstruction of the urethra, bladder, ureter, penis, and external genitalia, as well as other less common urogenital disorders (including congenital disorders). These types of procedures are also referred to as genitourinary reconstruction.
