Majid Eshghi, M.D., M.B.A., was one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to successfully perform and develop the technique of percutaneous stone surgery and ureteroscopic lithotripsy. His field of expertise includes comprehensive management of urolithiasis and endourology, and laparoscopic surgery. Residents are given graded responsibilities for these procedures depending on their growth in the program and level of skill acquisition. Under his guidance, residents will be trained in the work up and treatment of complex urinary stone disease, obstructive uropathy, and reconstruction. To assist in this regard, Dr. Eshghi also directs the program’s fellowship in endourology which complements the resident experience.
