Dr. Dmitriy Nikolavsky

Reconstructive Urologist for Post-operative Urinary Complications

Dr. Dmitriy Nikolavsky is a highly skilled Reconstructive Urologist and transgender urology expert who offers Metoidioplasty and also treats post-operative urinary complications for patients who have undergone Metoidioplasty and Phalloplasty with urethral construction.

Dr. Nikolavsky is a Professor of Urology, Director of the Reconstructive Urology department and Director of the Reconstructive Urology Fellowship at SUNY Upstate Medical University, in Syracuse NY. He is a Diplomat of the American Board of Urology, and a member of the American Urological Association (AUA), the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons (GURS), and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), among others.

In addition to offering both the Simple Release and Full Metoidioplasty procedures, Dr. Nikolavsky has deep expertise in fixing post-operative urinary complications following gender-affirming genital surgery.

Common urinary complications after Metoidioplasty and Phalloplasty include strictures, fistulas and abscesses. These complications can significantly affect quality of life, and repair surgeries are complex and require specific expertise. A Reconstructive Urologist diagnoses these conditions and provides a care plan to restore normal urinary function.

To stay current on best practices in transgender urology, Dr. Nikolavsky regularly connects with gender reassignment surgeons as well as other Reconstructive Urologists.
