Pediatric Urology Essentials: UPJ Obstruction, Hypospadias & VUR | Dr Vidhya T | Apollo Hospitals

Pediatric urology is a surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive systems in infants, children, and teenagers. Most pediatric urological conditions are congenital, meaning they are present at birth, although some may appear later in childhood. Common conditions include congenital anomalies such as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, which can lead to kidney damage if not treated timely, and hypospadias, a birth defect where the urinary opening is abnormally placed and the penis may be curved—this typically requires one or two surgeries based on severity. Recurrent urinary tract infections are another common issue, often linked with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, potentially causing infections and long-term kidney damage if not properly managed. Pediatric urologists also treat bladder dysfunction, kidney and genital cancers, and urinary stones. Beyond surgical care, they form long-term relationships with patients and families, ensuring healthy kidney and bladder development into adulthood.___________________________________________________________________________________ Apollo Hospitals is the leading multi-specialty hospitals group in India.
