Faculty members in the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at UC Irvine School of Medicine employ a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.

Our trainees are taught by a team that includes urogynecologists, physical therapists and specially trained nurses and technicians. In addition, we have close working relationships with specialists in colorectal surgery, urology, gastroenterology, pain management and radiology.

Together, we teach medical students, residents and fellows to provide comprehensive care using the latest technologies to treat a range of conditions, including prolapse, urinary or fecal incontinence, and other pelvic floor conditions.
