Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery
The subspecialties of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) focus on female pelvic health and reconstruction of the urinary tract following injury, cancer, or other trauma to the urogenital area.
Urogynecology
The emerging subspecialty of urogynecology focuses on diseases and conditions of the female urinary tract.
Concerns of the pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organ prolapse, and mesh-related complications all fall under the umbrella of urogynecology. Experts in urogynecology (or "uro-gyn") bridge the space between gynecology and urology, taking on concerns that impact both the female reproductive system and urinary tract.

Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery
Specialists in reconstructive urology walk alongside patients who have experienced urogenital trauma, performing life-changing surgeries and procedures that can help these patients take steps towards living more comfortable lives.
Our surgeons work to restore function that may be limited due to cancer, cancer treatment, congenital deformities, trauma, injuries, and more.
Our team of urologists also serve our transgender community alongside endocrinologists, plastic surgeons, mental health practitioners, gynecologists, speech experts, and more in our UCHealth Integrated Transgender Program (UCH ITP).
