Evalynn Vasquez

Evalynn Vasquez is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology, specializing in pediatric urology and congenital genitourinary anomalies. Her clinical and research work focuses on neurogenic bladder management in children with spina bifida, bladder exstrophy, and other congenital anomalies. She has collaborated in multi-institutional studies such as the UMPIRE consortium, contributing to advancements in diagnostic criteria and surgical outcomes for pediatric urological conditions. Her research spans imaging biomarkers for renal disorders, psychosocial impacts of congenital anomalies, and refinements in urodynamic assessment protocols.

Dr. Vasquez’s research interests emphasize improving diagnostic accuracy for conditions like hydronephrosis and myelomeningocele complications, as well as optimizing surgical interventions for pediatric patients. Her publications highlight case reports addressing rare anomalies such as urogenital sinus malformations and ovarian teratomas mimicking bladder diverticula.

Her work frequently integrates clinical practice with translational research, particularly in refining definitions of bladder hostility and predicting postnatal surgical needs based on prenatal imaging. She has also investigated the psychosocial challenges faced by children with bladder exstrophy and epispadias, advocating for holistic care approaches.

Dr. Vasquez is actively involved in the Society for Fetal Urology, contributing case reports and clinical insights to advance fetal and neonatal urology practices. Her collaborative efforts include the Bladder Exstrophy Consortium, aiming to standardize primary surgical techniques and long-term care strategies for affected patients.
