Johns Hopkins Urology - From the Director
Johns Hopkins Urology Fall 2014
From the Director
Date: October 16, 2014
Our goal with Johns Hopkins Urology is to highlight the extensive research and clinical work that we’re doing here at the Brady Urological Institute in a variety of areas. In this issue:
- Pravin Rao is bringing new hope to men with azoospermia using innovative procedures, including microdissection testicular sperm extraction.
- At our Pelvic Health Center, urologist Jamie Wright performs complex pelvic reconstruction and other procedures to restore quality of life to women with a host of conditions.
- Ardavan Akhavan’s minimally invasive pediatric surgery program aims to improve the surgical care of children with a variety of disorders involving the kidney, ureter, bladder, gonads and genitals.
- Mohamad Allaf is internationally renowned for his innovative robotic procedures, including nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, partial and radical nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, adrenalectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.
- For men with metastatic prostate cancer, Ashley Ross is starting a small clinical trial using cryotherapy to make the prostate more susceptible to immunotherapy, and then a PD-1-blocking drug to help the immune system fight off cancer.
Please call on us to discover how we can contribute to your practice.
