Pediatric Urology involves managment of genital
and urinary problems that occur in children. A special emphasis on
developmental problems affecting the kidneys, bladder, urethra or genital
tract. Common conditions treated include hypospadias (urine passage ending
short of the end of the penis), hydronephrosis (obstruction of urine flow from
the kidneys), cryptorchidism (undescended testes), reflux (backup of urine from
the bladder toward the kidneys), and intersex (incomplete or otherwise abnormal
development of the genital organs.)
