Summary
My primary goal is to gain hands-on experience with clinical research and understand the urology field from different perspectives. I am particularly excited about the prospect of making a contribution in the area of parastomal hernia prevention or prophylactic mesh placement in patients with neurogenic bladder urostomies.
