Common Children's Urology Issues We Treat:
- **PUJO (Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction):**
- A blockage at the junction where the kidney meets the ureter, leading to urine buildup and kidney swelling (hydronephrosis).
- **Treatment:** Often involves surgical correction called Pyeloplasty, which can often be performed minimally invasively (laparoscopic or open, depending on the case).
- **Hypospadias:**
- A birth defect in boys where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis but on the underside.
- **Treatment:** Surgical correction (Hypospadias repair) to bring the urethral opening to its proper position and straighten any associated penile curvature.
- **PUV (Posterior Urethral Valves):**
- A condition in boys where abnormal flaps of tissue in the urethra block urine flow from the bladder, potentially causing damage to the bladder and kidneys.
- **Treatment:** Endoscopic incision of the valves (valve ablation) to relieve the obstruction.
- **Undescended Testes (Cryptorchidism):**
- When one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum.
- **Treatment:** Surgical procedure called Orchiopexy to bring the testicle(s) down into the scrotum, usually recommended before 1-2 years of age to preserve fertility and reduce cancer risk.
- **Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR):**
- A condition where urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters and sometimes to the kidneys, increasing risk of UTIs and kidney damage.
- **Treatment:** Medical management (antibiotics to prevent UTIs), watchful waiting, or surgical correction in more severe cases.
- **Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in Children:**
- Thorough investigation to identify underlying causes like VUR or bladder dysfunction.
- **Treatment:** Antibiotics, preventive measures, and addressing any anatomical issues.
- **Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis):**
- Evaluation for underlying medical causes or bladder issues.
- **Treatment:** Behavioral therapy, alarm therapy, and sometimes medication.
- **Kidney Stones in Children:**
- Diagnosis and treatment tailored for pediatric patients, often including dietary changes and minimally invasive procedures when required.
