Juraj Letko, MD, is a urogynecologist and reconstructive pelvic surgeon specializing in the treatment of pelvic floor disorders and complex pelvic conditions. His extensive training in both obstetrics and gynecology and urology gives him a comprehensive understanding of the female reproductive and urinary systems.
Dr. Letko specializes in pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and voiding disorders, and complex pelvic reconstructive surgery. He has particular expertise in caring for patients with complications from previous pelvic surgery, such as mesh complications, urinary tract injuries, and genitourinary and rectovaginal fistulas.
A major focus of his practice is advanced minimally invasive surgery. He performs vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic procedures, including prolapse reconstruction, sacrocolpopexy, minimally invasive hysterectomy, incontinence procedures and complex fistula repairs.
Dr. Letko believes treatment should be individualized to each patient's symptoms, anatomy, lifestyle, and goals. He offers a wide range of nonsurgical and surgical therapies and emphasizes shared decision-making. For complex conditions, he collaborates with specialists across UChicago Medicine's multidisciplinary pelvic health program.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Letko is actively involved in research, surgical innovation and education. He teaches medical students, residents and fellows, and has trained surgeons nationally and internationally through advanced surgical courses and hands-on training programs. He has a particular interest in surgical simulation and developing new approaches to minimally invasive and reconstructive pelvic surgery. Dr. Letko has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented his work nationally and internationally.

Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
If you are a patient at UChicago Medicine and would like more information about your physician’s external relationships, please talk with your physician. You may also visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments website at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ . CMS Open Payments is a national disclosure program that promotes a more transparent and accountable health care system. It houses a publicly accessible database of payments that reporting entities, including drug and medical device companies, make to covered recipients like physicians and hospitals.
Information in the CMS Open Payments database could potentially contain inaccurately reported and out of date payment information. All information is open to personal interpretation, if there are questions about the data, patients and their advocates should speak directly to their health care provider for a better understanding.
