Genital reconstruction surgery

At Penn Medicine, we have the skill and resources to perform all types of urologic and genital reconstruction surgery. With our program, you have access to:

  • Leading experts: Reconstructive urologic surgery requires highly skilled surgeons who specialize in these procedures. Our surgeons are leaders in this advanced area of medicine, performing the most complex and delicate reconstructive urology procedures.
  • Multispecialty teamwork: Our urology surgeons collaborate with other specialties at Penn to provide you with seamless care all in one place. Our urology surgeons regularly partner with Penn plastic surgeons, gastroenterologists, dermatologists, colorectal surgeons and orthopedic surgeons. We also collaborate with cancer experts in our Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Program to provide the most advanced treatment for recurrent or rare genitourinary cancers.
  • Advanced surgical techniques: As a respected academic hospital, our doctors provide the latest advances in genital reconstructive surgery, including surgery for penile trauma. We use robotic and minimally invasive options, when possible, which provide faster recoveries.
  • Groundbreaking urology care: At Penn, you have access to the newest and best advances in reconstructive urology care. For example, our urologists and dermatologists have formed an innovative partnership to treat penile cancer in one procedure. This unique partnership improves care by helping patients avoid a second procedure. First, our dermatologists perform Mohs surgery to remove the cancer with precision. Then, our urologists reconstruct the penis to restore function.
