Dr. Oluwarotimi Nettey is an assistant professor at Scott Department of Urology, Baylor College of Medicine. She graduated from Harvard University with a degree in biomedical engineering and attended Yale University School of Medicine where she was awarded a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Fellowship. She completed her urology residency at Northwestern University with a Certificate in Global Health and fellowship training in the Division of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the department of urology at UCLA Medical Center under the leadership of Dr. Victor Nitti.

Her clinical and research interests are centered on reconstructive urology including: male and female voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence, vaginal surgery, pelvic organ prolapse, urethral stricture, genitourinary fistula, and pelvic floor dysfunction. She has published extensively in these areas and has been invited to speak on these topics at several national and international conferences.

Female Urethra Stricture Disease: Evaluation and Surgical Management

Female Urethra Stricture Disease: Evaluation and Surgical Management

Posted by | Oct 2024

Oluwarotimi S. Nettey, MD, MHS, discusses the complexities of female urethral stricture disease, which, although less common than in men, often goes underdiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms and rarity.

In this 18-minute talk, Dr. Nettey shares this disease often coincides with lower urinary tract symptoms. While its exact causes are largely idiopathic, medical procedures like catheterization, radiation, and surgeries, as well as conditions like vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women, can increase the risk.

Diagnosis typically involves cystoscopy, with additional imaging options providing insights into stricture location and bladder morphology. Uroflowmetry and video urodynamics offer further understanding of urinary dynamics, helping tailor treatment approaches. Non-surgical management includes vaginal estrogen and corticosteroids.

Nettey shares that endoscopic dilation is a first-line treatment but has diminishing returns with repeated procedures, while open surgical repair becomes essential in complex cases. She underscores the need for individualized management and referrals to reconstructive specialists for challenging cases, emphasizing the importance of a methodical approach in addressing this underrecognized condition.

Native Tissue Approaches for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: What’s New?

Native Tissue Approaches for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: What’s New?

Posted by | Dec 2023

Oluwarotimi S. Nettey, MD, MHS, discusses the anatomy and pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse. She underscores the importance of native tissue repair, as opposed to the use of mesh, in maintaining the pelvic floor’s natural anatomical integrity and function. This approach minimizes the risks associated with synthetic materials, such as mesh erosion and infection.
The lecture details various native tissue repair techniques, including vaginal, such as anterior and posterior colporrhaphy, and uterosacral ligament suspension, and abdominal approaches, such as sacrocolpopexy. Dr. Nettey highlights recent innovations in suture materials and surgical instruments that enhance the precision and durability of native tissue repairs.
