Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery

The Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology consists of a large group of practicing clinicians who strive to provide high-quality care at the cutting edge of science for the women of Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. In addition to superior clinical care, our growing program seeks to become a national leader in education and research. We have enjoyed recent, rapid growth in the division, bringing in highly talented individuals from different programs to provide a broad array of treatment options and research interests. Our diverse backgrounds create an inquisitive and collaborative group that fosters an inclusive environment to nurture our academic and professional growth. We are the only URPS fellowship program in the state of Wisconsin.

Our division is clinically housed in the UW Health Integrated Specialty Care for Women program that is devoted to providing advanced multi-disciplinary care for pelvic floor disorders among other conditions. Through that program we collaborate with specialists in urology, colorectal surgery, gynecology, physical therapy, sexual health, behavioral health, gastroenterology, pain management, and more to provide patients with a truly unique experience for their common or complex problems.

In addition to providing routine care for common urogynecologic conditions, our team specializes in managing obstetrical perineal trauma, complications of urogynecologic and gynecologic surgery, and treating patients who have failed prior attempts to correct their dysfunction. We leverage the resources at UW Health to provide advanced, comprehensive care to these special populations. We use state-of-the-art techniques to provide both office-based and minimally invasive surgical solutions for the most complex of pelvic floor disorders.
