Pediatric Urology Procedures

Overview

Pediatric urology procedures are necessary for treating children’s urological conditions. These disorders or conditions are typically congenital, meaning they are present at birth.

Surgery is the primary treatment for most types of urological conditions. Specifically, robotic laparoscopic surgery has become the standard of care. Surgeons rely on this minimally invasive approach because it’s generally less painful, requires a shorter hospital stay, and has a shorter recovery time than traditional open surgery.

Circumcision, an elective urological procedure to remove the foreskin from the penis, is normally performed in the first few days after a baby is born.
