UROLOGY FELLOWS

Brian langford. M.D.

Fellowship Host: University of Texas Southwestern
Specialty, Scope and Purpose: Urologic Trauma, Reconstruction, and Prosthetics. Clinical training encompassing all aspects of male genitourinary reconstruction, including urethral reconstruction, Peyronie’s disease, male incontinence and erectile dysfunction, ureteral reconstruction, robotics, urinary diversion, and repair of complex genital deformities, including buried penis.
Scholarship year: 2022

Patients often present with complex issues as a result of injury, prior surgeries, or even as a result of cancer treatments. These issues cause both physical and psychological detriment to not only the patients, but also to their loved ones. As a reconstructive/prosthetic urologist, I will be able to offer these patients the chance to regain functionality as well as improve quality of life and overall well-being.
