As a fellow he honed his surgical and diagnostic skills in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, genitourinary fistulae, urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction and neurourological disorders. He is well-versed in the latest treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical, for male and female pelvic floor disorders including robotic surgery, sacral neuromodulation, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, Botox® and other injectable therapies.  Dr. Krlin has published multiple articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals, authored textbook chapters in his subspeciality and presents at national meetings.  He is a member of the American Urological Association and the Society for Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction.  His clinical practice is part of the LSU Health Urology Group, delivering state of the art care to both English and Spanish-speaking patients at their offices in New Orleans and Metairie.
