Dr. Bernard H.Bochner

Dr. Bernard H. Bochner, MD, FACS, is a distinguished urologic surgeon specializing in the surgical treatment of genitourinary cancers, including bladder, prostate, kidney, and testicular malignancies. He is a faculty member at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which he joined in 2000, and serves as coordinator of the bladder cancer multidisciplinary working group and co-director of the pelvic reconstruction and surgery group. His clinical expertise centers on radical surgical procedures for invasive bladder cancer and complex reconstructive surgery of the urinary system following radical cystectomy or pelvic exenteration. His approach integrates function-sparing techniques, including preservation of nerves responsible for erectile function and advanced reconstructive procedures that restore the natural urination pathway after bladder removal, with the goal of maximizing both oncologic outcomes and postoperative quality of life.
