The Fellow will work with the physicians who specialize in endourology and minimally invasive urologic oncology in the Department of Urology and the Kimmel Cancer Center of Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Bagley is responsible for the endourologic aspects of the training and laparoscopy and minimally invasive urologic oncology is managed by Drs. Leonard Gomella, Deborah Glassman, Edouard Trabulsi and Costas Lallas at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The fellowship focuses on ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephroscopy, laparoscopic renal procedures, including nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy and pyeloplasty, as well as laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Pure laparoscopic and robotically assisted procedures are employed. There is also a program in brachytherapy and other techniques in minimally invasive oncology including cryotherapy and radiofrequency ablation. The Fellow attends the Stone Clinic and the Multidisciplinary GU Oncology Clinic. There is a dedicated Endourology Suite at the University hospital with a wide range of endourologic equipment and a DaVinci Robot. The office is equipped with a Holmium laser and instruments for TUMT. The Department of Urology has an active practice that includes both routine endourologic and urologic oncology programs and protocol studies. The fellowship is a two year program certified by the Endourology Society.
