Urogynecology Specialists

Louisville Pelvic Floor Research GROUP Research Center

Overview

The Pelvic Floor Research Center at Urogynecology Specialists of Kentucky provides urogynecological services for patients throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Dr. Michael Heit introduced the practice of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery to this area in 1994. Until recently, our physicians were affiliated with the University of Louisville Health Science Center. We are now private practice physicians with affiliations at Norton Healthcare facilities, Jewish Hospital, Baptist Hospital East and Hardin Memorial Hospital.

In conjunction with Urogynecology Specialists of Kentuckiana, our on-site Continence Center provides urodynamic and anorectal physiological testing for women with pelvic floor disorders such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and anal incontinence, and constipation.

The Research Center is headed by two fellowship-trained urogynecologists with experience in completing both basic science and clinical research. Our full-time urogynecological-specific research nurse coordinates all of the activity at the Center. In addition, we have a fellowship program to train fellows in clinical care and research. Each of these fellows will complete a Masters of Science program in clinical investigative sciences during their fellowship program.

Our Center is dedicated to finding ways to improve the quality of life for women through both our clinical and research activities.
