Conditions We Treat

Hypospadias in Children

Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. It occurs in approximately 1 in 200 to 300 male births. At Kshema Pediatrix, we offer comprehensive hypospadias repair including glanuloplasty, tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty, and staged repair for severe forms. Surgery is optimally performed between 6 and 18 months of age, and our outcomes consistently meet international benchmarks.

Undescended Testis (Cryptorchidism) in Children

In cryptorchidism, one or both testes have not descended into the scrotum by birth. This requires surgical correction (orchidopexy) before two years of age to preserve fertility and reduce cancer risk. We perform both standard inguinal orchidopexy and laparoscopic orchidopexy for intra-abdominal testes. Early surgery gives the best outcomes, and our team counsels families on the right timing for every child.

Hydronephrosis and PUJ Obstruction in Children

Hydronephrosis — swelling of the kidney due to urine build-up — is often detected on antenatal ultrasound. Pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is one of the most common causes. We monitor mild cases carefully and perform laparoscopic or open pyeloplasty for significant obstruction, achieving over 95% success rates in relieving obstruction and preserving kidney function. Early intervention is crucial to prevent permanent kidney damage.

Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR) in Children

VUR is the backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and kidneys, increasing the risk of repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney scarring. Management ranges from antibiotic prophylaxis and surveillance for mild grades to endoscopic injection (STING procedure) or surgical ureteral reimplantation for severe grades. We individualize treatment based on VUR grade, kidney health, and the child’s UTI history.

Phimosis in Children

Phimosis — a tight foreskin that cannot be retracted — is normal in young boys but may require treatment if it causes recurrent infections, pain, or urinary obstruction. We offer topical steroid therapy as a first-line option and perform circumcision or preputioplasty when surgical correction is indicated. Our approach is always conservative-first, with surgery reserved for genuinely symptomatic cases.

Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) in Children

PUV is a serious condition in boys where abnormal tissue folds in the urethra obstruct urinary flow from birth, potentially causing bladder dysfunction and kidney failure. Emergency endoscopic valve ablation is performed promptly after diagnosis, followed by long-term monitoring of bladder function and kidney health. Our multidisciplinary team includes pediatric nephrologists who co-manage these complex cases.

Pyeloplasty in Children

Pyeloplasty is the surgical correction of PUJ obstruction, where the narrowed junction between the kidney pelvis and ureter is reconstructed to restore free urine drainage. At Kshema Pediatrix, we prefer the laparoscopic approach for most children over six months of age, offering smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery than open pyeloplasty while achieving equivalent surgical success rates.

Symptoms Parents Should Not Ignore

• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in boys under two years old
• Poor urinary stream, dribbling, or straining to pass urine
• Swelling of the scrotum or groin in infants
• Inability to feel one or both testes in the scrotum
• Hydronephrosis detected on antenatal ultrasound — follow-up mandatory after birth
• Foul-smelling urine, fever, and abdominal pain in young children
• Blood in urine (hematuria) at any age
• Bulging at the back passage or difficulty urinating

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Options

Pediatric urology at Kshema Pediatrix begins with non-invasive investigation. We use pediatric renal ultrasound, DMSA and MAG3 nuclear scans for kidney function assessment, micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) for VUR, and urodynamic studies for bladder function evaluation. Treatment options include:

• Endoscopic valve ablation for posterior urethral valves
• Laparoscopic orchidopexy for intra-abdominal undescended testis
• Tubularized incised plate (TIP) hypospadias repair
• Laparoscopic and open pyeloplasty for PUJ obstruction
• Endoscopic STING procedure for vesicoureteric reflux
• Cohen cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation for high-grade VUR
• Circumcision and preputioplasty for phimosis
• Long-term renal function monitoring and nephrology co-management

Benefits of Early Pediatric Urology Treatment

• Preserves kidney function before irreversible damage occurs
• Reduces recurrent UTI burden and antibiotic dependency
• Ensures normal reproductive development and future fertility in boys
• Prevents bladder dysfunction from developing due to outflow obstruction
• Minimally invasive approaches mean less trauma and faster return to normal life
• Early hypospadias repair ensures normal urinary function and psychological well-being

When to See Our Panel of Pediatric Doctors?

Urological conditions in children rarely exist in isolation. At Kshema Pediatrix, our Pediatric Urology specialist works seamlessly with our broader team to give your child complete care. Children with recurrent UTIs and kidney damage are co-managed with our Pediatric Kidney Specialist (Nephrologist). Newborns with antenatally detected hydronephrosis are reviewed by our Neonatology team and Pediatric Urologist together from day one.

Boys with disorders of sexual development alongside hypospadias are assessed by our Pediatric Endocrinologist and Pediatric Geneticist for a complete hormonal and chromosomal workup. Children with neurogenic bladder requiring long-term management are followed up jointly with our Pediatric Neurologist. Complex oncological urological conditions such as Wilms tumor are jointly managed by our Pediatric Surgical Oncologist and Pediatric Hemato-Oncologist.

Post-surgical psychological support, particularly for boys undergoing hypospadias repair, is available through our Child Psychologist. Our Pediatric Surgeon and Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgeon provide backup for any complex minimally invasive urological procedures. And for antenatally detected conditions, our Antenatal Counselling team briefs expectant parents thoroughly before the baby arrives.
