George E. Haleblian, MD
 Haleblian is an assistant professor of urologic surgery and co-director of the Section of Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. He received his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College in 1994. After earning his MD degree from the University of Southern California in 1999, he began his urologic training at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. While at the University of Massachusetts, Haleblian had the opportunity to spend one year at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London, England focusing on pediatric urology and laparoscopic approaches to treatment of childhood urologic disorders. After completing his residency in Urology, Haleblian became a fellow in endourology/laparoscopic and robotic surgery for two years in the Division of Urologic Surgery at Duke University Medical Center. It is there that he developed expertise in minimally invasive robotic surgery for prostate, bladder, and kidney disease, laparoscopic techniques for treatment of all urologic disorders. He brings those skills with him to Rhode Island where he is active in The Miriam Hospital’s Robotic Surgery Program.
His clinical interests include the minimally invasive management of prostate, kidney and bladder malignancies. In addition he has clinical and research interests in the minimally invasive management of urinary tract stones as well as performance of comprehensive metabolic evaluation and preventative medical treatment for urinary tract stones. Other clinical areas of interest include minimally invasive management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and ureteral strictures, as well as alternative approaches for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Research interests include dietary manipulation for prevention of urinary tract stone formation and development of new technologies for minimally invasive procedures. Haleblian has had experience in the development of endoscopic instrumentation for minimally invasive urologic procedures during his time at Duke.
Haleblian has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and has been invited to write several book chapters. He has also directed 5 video productions that review complex endoscopic techniques. He has been named as a teaching faculty member for several laparoscopic and enoruological courses and has presented his research at both national and international meetings.
