Fellowship Overview
The Male Sexual Health and Reproductive Medicine fellowship is a one-year fellowship designed to provide fellows with comprehensive postgraduate training in the disciplines of male sexual medicine, genitourinary prosthetics, male reproductive medicine and management of male hypogonadism. The fellowship has a particularly strong focus on penile prosthetics, with a broad surgical experience in both the penoscrotal and infrapubic surgical approaches to the procedure. Our center serves as a referral hub for complicated revision and removal replacement of penile implants. Our faculty also performs treatment of complex penile deformities and curvatures with combined penile implantation and grafting. Fellows will additionally gain proficiency in reproductive microsurgery, with a robust experience in microsurgical varicocelectomy, vasectomy reversal and microdissection testicular sperm extraction.
The fellow will be trained in penile duplex ultrasound, intracavernosal injections, intralesional collagenase (Xiaflex) injections for Peyronies disease and office-based sperm retrieval techniques. By program completion, fellows will have the expertise needed to provide comprehensive subspecialty care for male sexual dysfunction and male fertility.
This is a specialized clinical program focusing on the management of male sexual health and reproductive medicine. Male sexual health is a focus of all three of our faculty members, with Dr. Eid serving as one of the highest volume penile prosthetic surgeons in the nation. Dr. Berookhim and Dr. Harris Nagler focus on male fertility and microsurgery as well. Dr. Nagler is the former President of Beth Israel Medical Center in NY, and former chairman of the department of urology there. He is also a past president of the Society for the Study of Male Reproduction (SSMR) and the Society of Male Reproduction and Urology (SMRU) He is currently President of the Urology Care Foundation.
Research Focus
Clinical research in penile prosthesis surgical outcomes, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease, hypogonadism, and male reproductive medicine. Fellows are encouraged and will have the opportunity to produce abstracts and surgical videos for presentation at national meetings.
