Background

Arun K. Srinivasan, MD, MRCS, is an attending pediatric urologist in the Division of Urology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He is also a staff urologist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and an assistant professor of urology in surgery at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Srinivasan works closely with patients and families to identify the best treatment and care options available to them. It is important to him that families feel secure and confident in the decisions they make. He wants his patients to feel comfortable asking any questions, and he considers communication an essential piece to his work.

Dr. Srinivasan has extensive experience in minimally invasive urologic surgery, laparoscopy and robotic-assisted procedures. He has a special interest in treating infants, children and teens with pediatric stone disease, vesicoureteral reflux, urinary tract obstruction and neurogenic bladder disorders.

Dr. Srinivasan’s approach to care is compassionate, individualized and evidence-based. He believes a child’s well being and happiness are the most important measures of his success as a pediatric urologist.

“Making a child better, getting a smile on their face, makes a long, hard day totally worth it,” explains Dr. Srinivasan. “My specialty allows me this luxury every day.”

Dr. Srinivasan earned his bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery degree (MBBS) from Stanley Medical College in Madras, India. He earned Membership in the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) of England, United Kingdom, and completed a residency in cardiothoracic surgery at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool, UK.

In 2004, Dr. Srinivasan decided to change his surgical focus to pediatric urology and came to the United States to further his training. He completed general surgery and urology residencies at the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System in New York. Dr. Srinivasan continued his urologic training with a fellowship in pediatric urology at Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in Georgia.

In 2012, Dr. Srinivasan joined Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as an attending physician in the Division of Urology.

Dr. Srinivasan is an active member of multiple professional organizations and societies including the American Urological Association, The Society of Fetal Urology and the Enodurological Society. In addition, he is a member of the American College of Surgeons, the American Medical Association and the European Association of Thoracic Surgeons.

Research is an important component of Dr. Srinivasan’s work. He is excited about the future of minimally invasive treatment options and is currently pursuing research into robotic and laparoscopic surgery, as well as pediatric stone disease. He was awarded a grant from the Empire Clinical Research Investigator Program (ECRIP) for his research on kidney ischemia, a renal disease caused by blood deficiency in one or both kidneys. He won prizes for best clinical research in 2008 and 2010 from the New York Chapter of American College of Surgeons. His present research interests include new techniques in minimal invasive surgery, novel tools in management of voiding dysfunction and neurogenic bladders, and design and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic devices in urology.

Dr. Srinivasan has published extensively, serving as author or co-author on numerous urologic publications, including textbook chapters, articles and editorials.  Dr. Srinivasan has presented more than 30 times at national and international conferences. He is also a reviewer for the Journal of Urology, the Journal of Endourology and the British Journal of Urology.
