Pediatric Urology focuses on the surgical management of genitourinary disorders affecting children. This field addresses a range of conditions involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and genitalia.
- Renal cysts, tumors, and stones
- Strictures at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) and ureterovesical junction (UVJ)
- Ureteral enlargement and stones
- Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
- Urinary bladder infections and stones
- Exstrophy Vesica: This condition involves the protrusion of the anterior bladder wall through the lower abdominal wall, due to incomplete closure during fetal development.
- Hypospadias: A congenital defect where the urethral opening is positioned abnormally on the underside of the penis.
- Undescended testis, hydrocele, and spermatic cord cysts
- Genital and urinary tract infections, including epididymorchitis, balanitis, postitis, and prostatitis
- Surgical procedures like circumcision
- Ovarian cysts and torsion, imperforate hymen, and labial adhesions in females.
Diagnostic and Treatment Techniques:
- Minimally invasive surgeries including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures
- Comprehensive endoscopic examinations: Esophagoscopy, gastroscopy, duodenoscopy, colonoscopy, rectoscopy, anoscopy, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and bronchoscopy
- Advanced diagnostic studies such as urodynamic testing, cystometry, uroflowmetry, motility studies, esophageal manometry, anal manometry, and pH measurements for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux (GER)
These specialized medical practices ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment tailored to the unique needs of pediatric patients.
