Desai Sethi Urology Institute, part of the University of Miami Health System, is redefining excellence in academic urology—uniting high-complexity surgical care, translational research, and national-caliber clinical leadership to advance the field and elevate outcomes for patients everywhere.

WHY OUR PROGRAM STANDS OUT

• Destination for high-complexity urologic and genitourinary surgery, including robotic oncology, HoLEP, PCNL, bladder neck contracture, complex reconstruction, and advanced minimally invasive interventions.
• Ranked 14th nationally in NIH urology research, driving breakthroughs in prostate cancer biology, male reproductive health, erectile function, precision diagnostics, and clinical trials.
• A multidisciplinary Institute built of a robust team of urologists, medical oncologists, basic and translational scientists, statisticians, chemists, healthcare technologists, dieticians and AI engineers driving meaningful innovations to improve patient outcomes.
• One of the region’s highest-volume robotic urology, aquablation and BPH programs, with recognized leadership in HoLEP, HIFU and next-generation laser and endoscopic technologies.
• Transforming health care through innovative applications of AI and AR such as enhanced surgical analysis and documentation, AR-guided biopsy for prostate cancer detection, and use of AI for warm ischemia times in partial nephrectomies.
