Urological conditions in children

Paediatric urologists treat conditions of the upper urinary tract, lower urinary tract and genitalia, from fetal life to adolescence.

Unlike in adults, congenital malformations are the conditions we treat most often.

Urological treatments

Urological treatments in children

Some childhood genitourinary malformations require surgery.

Many urinary malformations are diagnosed before birth. Some require only regular follow-up with a paediatric urologist, while many will need treatment.

Depending on the type of malformation and how it develops, surgery may be needed.

Complex surgical treatments

Some patients need complex surgery

Even for complex operations, we aim to use minimally invasive techniques. This makes recovery after surgery much quicker and reduces the lasting effects.
