Pediatric genitourinary surgery addresses conditions that affect a child's reproductive organs, kidneys, bladder and urethra. These organs make up the genital and urinary systems, which are responsible for supporting reproductive development, filtering waste and controlling urination. Our surgeons are trained to accurately diagnose issues affecting these systems and tailor care specifically for infants, children and adolescents.

What you can expect

Our specialists understand the unique anatomy, growth patterns and emotional needs of children. We provide exceptional care ranging from circumcisions to procedures addressing gonadal, genital and urinary conditions that can affect children from birth to adolescence. Our goal is to correct the physical issue and support your child's development, comfort and confidence as they grow.

When you come to us for care, you can expect:

• Compassionate support: We understand that certain aspects of these conditions can be sensitive for some children. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and nonthreatening environment for your child and family throughout the treatment process.
• Team-based care: Our pediatric surgery team includes experts in pediatric urology, nephrology, anesthesiology and pediatric and adolescent gynecology. We'll make sure your child has access to the necessary specialists.
• Personalized attention: We tailor treatment plans for each child's unique condition to achieve the best long-term outcome. Our surgeons ensure that your family understands what we're doing and why.
