Rajveer Purohit is an Indian-born American physician, Director of Reconstructive Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, and Associate Professor in its Department of Urology.Purohit co-developed the first staging system for anterior urethral strictures known as the Purohit-Blaivas anterior urethral stricture staging system.
This system permits a standardization of description and analysis of urethral strictures.
It is described in the Journal of Urology as providing “a practical syntax for staging stricture severity that makes good sense and is sorely needed”.In 2018, Mt.
Sinai appointed him co-director of its first fellowship in Reconstructive Urology (one of 17 such fellowships worldwide as of 2019) that trains methods of gender affirmation surgery including vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty and phalloplasty.
