Pediatric Urology: Gentle, Advanced Care for Children
Children with urinary or genital conditions require specialized, gentle management. Dr. Bhasker Reddy provides expert pediatric urology for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, and teens—using advanced, minimally invasive, and child-friendly procedures for the best long-term outcomes.
What is Pediatric Urology?
Pediatric urology addresses congenital (by birth) and acquired urinary and genital issues in children. Timely diagnosis and precise intervention can ensure normal urinary function, protect kidney health, and restore confidence for children and families.
Procedures & Treatments Offered
- Hypospadias Repair: Surgical correction for boys born with the urinary opening on the underside of the penis, allowing normal urination and function.
- Orchiopexy: Placement surgery for undescended testis, ideally performed before age 1–2 years for best results.
- Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) Ablation: Endoscopic removal of congenital obstructing valves to relieve blockage and improve kidney health.
- Deflux Injection: Minimally invasive, day-care solution for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—stops urine backflow and helps prevent kidney infections.
- Megaureter Repair: Surgical correction for enlarged or refluxing ureters, using tailored open or minimally invasive techniques.
- Other Services: Pediatric stone removal, circumcision, labial adhesions, pediatric genitourinary reconstruction, and long-term follow-up for children with complex urological conditions.
