Urology

Top-Ranked Urology Program

U.S. News & World Report ranks our urology program among the best in the nation. Our doctors are expert leaders in their field and several are on Chicago magazine's annual "Top Doctors" list.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Our urologists have been innovators in developing and using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our team has performed more than 6,000 robotic urologic surgery procedures, more than any program in Illinois. We collaborate with other UChicago Medicine specialists to provide our patients with a personalized, comprehensive approach.

Pediatric Urology

Our pediatric urology team provides compassionate care to children with conditions affecting the kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra, penis and testicles. Our urologists work with a multidisciplinary team of experts including fetal medicine specialists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons.

World-Renowned Urologists

Our team is comprised of fellowship-trained urologists who have unparalleled expertise in their specialty. Each one of our faculty members also sub-specializes in a small number of urologic diseases, where they gain vast experience and become a master in that field. We pair patients with the physician who is the most experienced and skillful in managing their particular condition.

Quality-of-Life Issues

UChicago Medicine experts are sensitive to quality-of-life issues, particularly related to the patient's ability to urinate normally and to retain sexual functioning after cancer surgery. We provide a comprehensive treatment approach that effectively treats disease while preserving the patient's quality of life at the same time. We use minimally invasive surgery techniques to ensure a faster recovery, less scarring and a shorter hospital stay. 

Leaders in Urologic Research

UChicago Medicine has a rich tradition in urologic research that has led the way in the treatment of benign disease and cancer. Our research is focused on the patients and how we can improve their lives.
