Pediatric Urology

The Pediatric Urology Service treats congenital abnormalities of the genitourinary system in children. Reconstructive surgery for hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and other genital abnormalities is usually performed on an ambulatory surgery or short-stay basis. The spectrum of management also includes obstructive uropathy, non-obstructive uropathy, and urinary tract infections. Special services include urological management of spina bifida patients as well as bladder augmentations. Minimally invasive techniques are applied when appropriate.
