research on varicoceles, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer both locally
and nationally.
Dr. Gitlin then
pursued a fellowship in pediatric urology. The first year
of this fellowship was spent in the basic science laboratory of Dr. Henry (T.T.)
Sun.
This research focused on understanding the genetic link in patients with
vesico-ureteral reflux. This research was recently summarized and published
in Kidney International. 
Dr. Gitlin
performed his clinical fellowship at the Riley Children’s Hospital
in Indianapolis, Indiana. This intense training covered all aspects of
pediatric
urology, but a special emphasis was placed on reconstructive surgery of the
bladder, kidney and penis/urethra. Dr. Gitlin’s research on catheterizable
channels, and pregnancy in women with bladder augmentations was
presented both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Gitlin was on
the faculty of Montefiore Children’s Hospital before joining

pediatric urology.
