Urology
We manage health-care problems of the urogenital system. We provide both medical and surgical treatments. Our treatment takes into consideration the developmental needs of the child.
We are a world leader in the treatment of complex urologic malformations. These include exstrophy / epispadias, cloaca and neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We use laboratory research and clinical observations to solve problems in children with urinary malformation and malfunction.
We also have an active clinical research program. We use clinical research trials to study complex urologic conditions in children.
Our pediatric urologists are supported by registered nurses specializing in the care of children with bladder and voiding dysfunction.
We offer bladder retraining and biofeedback for voiding dysfunction. We also offer urodynamics and exstrophy support groups.
