I conducted a multicentric RCT on the effect of circumcision in boys with posterior urethral valves and am currently conducting another trial on the effect of oxybutynin on bladder function in PUV. We are also studying prognostic factors in pelvi-ureteric obstruction as well as long-term sexual function in men with hypospadias.
I am keen on promoting multicentric and international collaboration in research in Pediatric Urology. Coordinator Urotherapy Department. My main areas of interest are lower urinary tract symptoms, urotherapy, bladder and bowel management, conservative treatment of bladder anomalies, behavioral therapy, CIC and anxiety. Together with my team, I am responsible of the inpatient and outpatient coordination of care of children with lower urinary tract symptoms.
Furthermore, I coordinate educational programs for urotherapists, physiotherapist, nationally and internationally.
I like scientific research as a basis for further professionalization and improvement of quality of care. My research is focused on behavioral aspects of treatment of children with bowel and bladder problems, the ongoing search to the etiology of LUTS and development of technological, digital solutions or devices as supporting treatment tools. I also have interests in the impact of the microbiome on urinary tract health.
