 Established Leadership


Shlomo Raz, M.D.
Under the leadership and direction of Shlomo Raz, M.D. since 1975, the Division of Pelvic Medicine, Incontinence and Reconstructive Surgery has been a recognized leader in developing new treatments for female urology conditions for over 28 years. Dr. Raz pioneered many of the innovations that today are the standards of care worldwide for such conditions as vaginal and uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor disorders, voiding dysfunction, and surgical reconstruction after cancer for urethral abnormalities.

With his numerous surgical innovations, as well as his involvement in the development of new pharmacological and surgical treatments of urologic conditions, Dr. Raz has helped define the field of female urology and reconstruction for the past two decades.

Larissa Rodriguez, M.D. joined the UCLA faculty in 2001 as co-director of the Division of Pelvic Medicine, Incontinence and Reconstructive Surgery, and Director of Female Urology Research. Dr. Rodríguez is involved in all aspects of Pelvic Medicine, Incontinence and Reconstructive Surgery, and brings a solid background in clinical research on benign urologic conditions such as incontinence, prolapse, interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder. As Director of Female Urology Research at UCLA, Dr. Rodríguez collaborates with a team of scientists on basic science research aimed at finding new treatments and cures to the diseases that affect our patients.

Compassion & Innovation

Through ongoing research and continuous innovation, the division has pioneered many of the pelvic medicine treatments that today have become the standards of care worldwide. Pelvic Medicine, Incontinence and Reconstructive Surgery patients at UCLA receive the latest information on pelvic medicine disorders, as well as access to the newest treatments that evolve from our research.

Our Goal

Our goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care to women suffering from these conditions, restoring their quality of life as optimally as possible. Both male and female patients will have access to a full range of non-surgical, minimally invasive, surgical and alternative treatments for urinary incontinence and voiding dysfunction.
