Pediatric Urology

Pediatric urology is a medical subspecialty that focuses on the urinary tract and reproductive system of children, from newborns to late adolescence. This field of study is important because it focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating issues that can occur during these critical stages of development. Such issues can include conditions such as urinary tract infections, undescended testes, and prostate disorders. Pediatric urologists also use techniques such as minimally-invasive surgery, endoscopic procedures, and robotic surgery to address complicated conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment of these issues can help avoid complications and ensure that children remain healthy and happy.
