At UCLA he was trained in the use of the first successful penile prosthetic implant a fact that launched his interest in male health and sexual function and prosthetic surgery. In fact the first successful prosthetic anti urinary incontinence device the Kaufman prosthesis was invented and developed during his residency and has added to Dr. Melman’s experience with the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence.
At UCLA Dr. Melman was also trained in the art of perineal prostate surgery by one of its inventors, Dr. Elmer Belt. Since then Dr. Melman has utilized the superior Belt radical perineal prostatectomy to surgically treat men with prostate cancer. That method is the procedure of choice for men with prostate cancer who are very obese, have had lower abdominal surgery such as kidney transplant or bowel surgery or lower abdominal radiation.
