Paediatric Urology and Reconstructive Urology

Paediatric Urology treatment in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore

Paediatric urology is a subspecialty of urology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions in children. These conditions can include congenital abnormalities, such as hypospadias and bladder exstrophy, as well as acquired conditions such as urinary tract infections and voiding dysfunction.

Paediatric urologists use a variety of surgical techniques to treat these conditions, including minimally invasive surgery, which can minimise scarring and recovery time. In some cases, such as with bladder exstrophy, surgery may be performed in multiple stages, as the child grows and their body develops. Paediatric urologists work closely with other members of a child's healthcare team, including paediatricians, surgeons, and psychologists, to provide comprehensive care. They also work with families to ensure that they are involved in and understand the child's treatment plan. Visit Manipal Hospitals for paediatric surgery treatment in Bangalore for the best treatment

Pre-procedure

Post-procedure

After any urological procedure on a child, it is important to monitor the child for any complications. The most common complication is an infection, which can be serious. Other complications include bleeding, and damage to the urinary tract, or surrounding organs. It is important to keep the area where the procedure was performed clean and dry. The child may be instructed to use special soap and/or ointment. The child may also be instructed to take antibiotics to prevent infection. The child will need to follow up with the urologist to make sure the procedure was successful and to monitor for any complications. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.
