Dr Fenner

After completing her urology training in Geneva, where Dr Fenner acquired a solid base of knowledge and experience as a Junior then Senior Registrar, she continued her specialization with two fellowships, firstly in Reconstructive and Functional Urology then in Neuro-Urology in London at the renowned University College London Hospitals.


This training enabled her to develop advanced skills in the surgical treatment of male and female urinary incontinence, urinary tract reconstruction, as well as in the management of neurogenic bladders. Dr Fenner is also one of the few urologists in Switzerland with expertise in the treatment of male and female complex urethral strictures by reconstructive surgery (urethroplasty), and every year treats a large number of patients referred to her from all over Switzerland and abroad.


Dr Fenner has had the opportunity to put this expertise to good use, first as a urological surgeon consultant at the HUG, and since September 2022 as a private Urologist based in Meyrin. She also remained a consultant at the HUG, where she continues to contribute her experience in reconstructive surgery once a week.

Dr Fenner also specializes in the investigation and management of all common urological pathologies, including kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, urinary tract cancers and external genitalia cancers, voiding and erectile disorders, and vasectomy.
