What is Paediatric Urology?
Paediatric urology is a subspecialty focused on urological conditions in newborns, infants, children, and teenagers. Children are not simply small adults — their anatomy, physiology, and surgical needs are unique, requiring a specialist with specific expertise in treating young patients.
Many paediatric urological conditions are present from birth (congenital) and can significantly affect a child's development and quality of life if left untreated. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent long-term complications.
Age GroupsWe Treat Children of All Ages
0–1 yrNewborns & InfantsCongenital anomalies detected at birth or during early scans
2–10 yrsYoung ChildrenBedwetting, UTIs, undescended testes, and voiding issues
11–18 yrsAdolescentsVaricocele, hydrocele, stones, and transitional care needs
Common Paediatric Urological Conditions
Undescended Testis (Cryptorchidism)
One or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum before birth — requires surgical correction before age 1–2 for best outcomes.
Hypospadias
A congenital condition where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis — correctable with reconstructive surgery.
Hydrocele
Fluid accumulation around the testis causing painless scrotal swelling — common in newborns, often resolves on its own or requires simple surgery.
Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting)
Involuntary urination during sleep beyond age 5–6 — a common condition with effective behavioural and medical treatments.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
Abnormal backflow of urine from bladder to kidneys — can cause repeated infections and kidney scarring if untreated.
Pelvi-Ureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction
Blockage at the junction of kidney and ureter preventing proper urine drainage — often detected on antenatal scans and corrected surgically.
When to See a Specialist
Bedwetting beyond age 5–6 years
Repeated urinary tract infections in a child
Visible abnormality in genital area at birth
Swelling or lump in scrotal area
Weak or abnormal urine stream in boys
Testes not felt in scrotum after 6 months
Abdominal mass detected on scan
Daytime wetting or urgency beyond toddler age
How We Diagnose
01
Ultrasound (Renal & Scrotal)Painless, radiation-free imaging — first-line investigation for most paediatric urological conditions.
02
Urine Analysis & CultureDetects infection, blood, or abnormal cells — essential for recurrent UTI workup in children.
03
MCU (Micturating Cystourethrogram)X-ray of the bladder during urination — gold standard for detecting vesicoureteral reflux in children.
04
Urodynamic StudiesAssessment of bladder function and pressure — helps diagnose voiding dysfunction and overactive bladder in older children.
Our Treatment Approach
01
Most common
Orchidopexy — Undescended Testis Surgery
Minimally invasive surgical procedure to bring the undescended testis into the scrotum — best performed between 6–18 months of age.
02
Reconstructive
Hypospadias Repair
Staged or single-stage surgical reconstruction to reposition the urethral opening and correct any penile curvature.
03
Minimally invasive
Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty (PUJ Obstruction)
Keyhole surgery to remove the obstruction and reconstruct the connection between kidney and ureter — excellent long-term results.
04
Behavioural + Medical
Bedwetting Management
Combination of bladder training, fluid management, alarm therapy, and medications — highly effective for nocturnal enuresis.
05
Endoscopic
VUR — Endoscopic Injection (STING)
Minimally invasive injection of bulking agent at the ureteric orifice to stop urine reflux — day procedure with quick recovery.
