Pediatric Urology

Pediatric urology deals with congenital or acquired diseases of urogenital system and their treatment in pediatric age, ranging from intrauterine life to newborn infants and subsequent periods. Examples of these diseases are hydrocele, cord cyst, undescended testis, circumcision, emergencies of testes and scrotum (acute scrotum and torsion of testicle) and hypospadias.

Surgical repair of hypospadias (it is a congenital condition, where opening of the urethra is located on ventral surface rather than tip of the glans) falls into urologic areas of focus. Surgery can be performed for both primary repairs of hypospadias and revision surgeries.
