Urologist Dr. Nejd Alsikafi serves patients who have prostate, bladder, kidney or testicular cancer. He consults with medical oncologists and patients on available treatment options, performs surgery and monitors patients who may need surgical intervention in the future.
Procedures Dr. Alsikafi performs include robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies and genitourinary reconstructive surgery. He also treats kidney stones, kidney and bladder infections, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, male infertility and prostate disorders.
Dr. Alsikafi is fellowship-trained in urologic reconstruction, which includes prosthetics (i.e. penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincters). This is especially important for men who decide to get treatment for their prostate cancer and are concerned about both incontinence and impotence.
After earning a medical degree from the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago, Dr. Alsikafi completed both a general surgery and urology residency at the University of Chicago. Additionally, he completed a fellowship in urologic trauma and reconstruction at the University of California, San Francisco. He served as Clinical Associate Professor at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, where he served as co-director of the urologic reconstruction fellowship.
Dr. Alsikafi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Urology. He has been published in the Journal of Urology, a publication for which he also serves as a reviewer. He is a member of several professional organizations including, the American Urological Association, Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons and the Chicago Urologic Society.
Inspired to become a doctor because of his desire to help people, Dr. Alsikafi says: “My father was a physician who was an excellent role model. I chose urology specifically because it was a beautiful blend of surgery and medical management. It also dealt with sensitive topics, which I felt my personality was well suited to discuss with patients.”
