Pediatric Urology

COMMON UROLOGIC ISSUES

These include circumcisions, hernia and hydrocele repairs as well as correcting undescended testicles, a condition that occurs when one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum before birth.
Kidney conditions: Caregivers use a multi-disciplinary approach to diagnose and treat conditions including kidney infections, vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis—when the kidney swells because of a back-up of urine—congenital kidney anomalies and kidney cancer.

SPINA BIFIDA

Spina bifida is a birth defect of the spinal cord, which can lead to neurologic problems of the lower extremities, bowel and bladder. Our team of pediatric urologists collaborates in a multi-disciplinary clinic and incorporates minimally invasive treatments for the bladder and bowel dysfunction that can occur with spina bifida.

DYSFUNCTIONAL ELIMİNATION SYNDROME

Urologists work with children to improve problems with bladder and bowel function. We also treat enuresis, urinary accidents which can occur during the day or at night.

HYPOSPADIAS

This is an abnormality of the penis in which the urethra opens on the underside. Hypospadias typically treated with surgery.

NEUROGENIC BLADDER

Typically a disease of the central nervous system or peripheral nerves, neurogenic bladder is a condition that causes the bladder to become overactive or underactive. This can lead to chronic infections, problems with urinary accidents and harm to the kidneys.

BLADDER EXSTROPHY

A congenital condition in which the bladder and associated structures are malformed.

VARICOCELE

An enlargement of the veins from the testicle, which can lead to the appearance of scrotal swelling and potentially impair fertility.

UROLOGIC CANCERS

These conditions include testicular, kidney and bladder masses.
