Principles of Tissue Transfer in Reconstructive Urology

Summary:

Joel Gelman, MD, discusses the basic plastic surgery principles of tissue transfer in reconstructive urology. Specifically, he describes plastic surgery applications for urethral strictures, pelvic fractures, and hypospadias. Furthermore, he explains how these principles can improve surgery best practices and patient outcomes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Joel Gelman, MD

Dr. Gelman is a Professor of Urology and the Director of the Center for Reconstructive Urology in the Department of Urology at the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Gelman completed his urology residency at the UCLA Medical Center in 1995 and a Fellowship in Adult and Pediatric Male Genitourinary Reconstruction under Dr. Gerald Jordan at the Devine-Jordan Center in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1997. He has performed over 1800 urethral-penile reconstructive surgeries at UC Irvine over the past couple of decades, and his practice has always been limited to his area of expertise in male urethral and penile/genital reconstructive surgery, with a focus on urethral stricture disease and penile-scrotal surgery. Dr. Gelman is the Director of the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons-approved Fellowship Program in Male GU Reconstruction at UC Irvine, and his research interests include both urethral stricture disease and tissue engineering basic science. He has presented and published numerous papers on the subject of male reconstructive surgery, including new surgical techniques for urethroplasty, and has served on the Board of Directors of the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons.
