Summary

• Dr. Gelman is a Board Certified Urologist, the Director of the Center for Reconstructive Urology and a Professor in the Department of Urology at the University of California, Irvine. He has performed over 2,500 urethral-penile reconstructive surgeries, and his practice is limited to his area of expertise in male urethral and penile/genital reconstructive surgery.
  
  Dr. Gelman completed his Urology Residency at the UCLA Medical Center in 1995 and a Fellowship in Adult and Pediatric Male Genitourinary reconstruction at the Devine Center in Norfolk, Virginia under Dr. Gerald Jordan.
  
  
  When Dr. Gelman arrived at UC, Irvine, located in Orange County, California, in 1998, there were no doctors in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, or surrounding areas in Southern California or adjacent states who were fellowship trained or exclusively specialized in the treatment of conditions affecting the male urethra, penis, and scrotum. Once at UCI, Dr. Gelman developed a Center for Reconstructive Urology exclusively devoted to the treatment of male urethral and penile disorders, including urethral stricture disease and trauma, Peyronie’s disease and other disorders of penile curvature, erectile dysfunction with an emphasis on penile implant surgery, hypospadias, scrotal lymphoma, hidradenitis, and complications of prostate cancer treatment including radiation strictures, bladder neck contractures, urethral-rectal fistulas and incontinence (artificial urinary sphincter placement). Under the leadership of Dr. Gelman, the Center for Reconstructive Urology is now a regional, national, and international referral center, treating patients who have travelled from 45 states outside of California and 26 other countries specifically to receive their care by Dr. Gelman.
  
  Dr. Gelman is involved in clinical and basic research, and is the Director of a Fellowship in GU Reconstructive Surgery and a past Board Member of the Society of GU Reconstructive Surgeons.
