Paediatric Urology

Paediatric urology care focuses on addressing a wide range of urological conditions in children with precision and compassion. Understanding the unique challenges that young patients face, advanced, minimally invasive techniques are employed to ensure effective treatment with the least amount of discomfort.

From common conditions like hypospadias and undescended testes to more complex issues such as ureteric reimplantation and pyeloplasty, paediatric urology covers all aspects of care. The approach prioritizes quicker recovery times, reduced hospital stays, and minimal scarring, always focusing on the well-being of the child.

Surgical approaches for

Services Offered

Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty services treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in children. This minimally invasive surgical procedure (laparoscopy) aims to relieve urinary blockage by reconstructing the connection between the kidney and the ureter. Using laparoscopic apparel for precision, the procedure ensures less pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery, helping the child return to normal activities swiftly with restoration of kidney functions.

Hypospadias Repair

Hypospadias Repair is a crucial surgical procedure to correct a common congenital condition in boys, where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis. Utilizing advanced techniques, even in severe cases, single-stage repair is possible. The procedure focuses on achieving optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV)

Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) is a congenital condition where abnormal flaps of tissue form in the urethra, causing obstruction of urine flow from the bladder. This can lead to kidney damage, urinary tract infections, and bladder dysfunction if left untreated. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as ultrasound or voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the valves to restore normal urine flow and prevent further complications. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term damage to the kidneys and urinary system.

Calculus Disease Treatment

We specializes in treating calculus disease(Stone) in children, which involves the formation of stones in the urinary tract. He employs advanced diagnostic techniques to identify stones and offers minimally invasive surgical options, including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures, to remove them effectively.

Nephrectomy / Heminephrectomy

Nephrectomy / Heminephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove severely damaged or diseased kidneys. The goal is to preserve the kidney at any cost, but in cases where the kidney is severely damaged or adversely affects the functioning of the opposite normal kidney, removal becomes necessary. This procedure can be performed laparoscopically, utilizing minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain, scarring, and recovery times, ensuring a quicker healing process for young patients.

Ureteric Reimplantation

Ureteric Reimplantation is a surgical procedure that involves repositioning the ureter to correct issues such as reflux or obstruction in children, even in toddlers. This procedure is crucial for restoring proper urinary function and preventing kidney damage, ensuring long-term health and well-being.

Ureterocele Repair

Ureterocele Repair is a surgery to treat a ureterocele, which is a swollen area where the ureter meets the bladder. This condition can block urine flow and cause repeated infections. The surgery is done using a minimally invasive method called cystoscopic deroofing, which helps fix the problem with less pain and faster recovery.

Endoscopic Urological Procedures

Endoscopic Urological Procedures for children focus on precision and minimal invasiveness. These treatments include safely removing kidney stones without open surgery, repairing urethral or bladder strictures using minimally invasive techniques, and performing tissue biopsies for accurate diagnosis with minimal discomfort. The goal is to provide effective treatment with quicker recovery and less pain for young patients.
