Urology: Referral Directory
Why Children's Medical Center?
The urology physicians on the medical staff are board certified in urology and have additionally completed fellowship training in pediatric urology and are nationally recognized as leaders in this subspeciality. Exclusively limited to children with urologic problems, we see over 6,000 patients in clinic and perform approximately 1,200 surgeries each year. A full range of services for pediatric urology problems is provided.
The urology physicians on the medical staff are known for surgical repair of minor and complex degrees of hypospadias, as well as for reoperations after failed surgeries. The goal in all cases is to create a functional penis that appears normal. The staff also strives to improve understanding of this common condition through innovative research.
The urology staff also has expertise in pediatric laparoscopic surgery, which is performed using miniature telescopes and small "Band-Aid" incisions. The major advantages of this technique are reduced pain and scarring. This is offered as an option for partial or total nephrectomy, pyeloplasty and orchiopexy.
Children with bladder disorders such as spina bifida and exstrophy require specialized care. Urology physicians on the medical staff are very experienced in the management of these problems, and perform complex surgical reconstruction, when necessary, with the goal of helping these children improve control of their urinary system.
