What is Pediatric Urology?
Pediatric Urology is a specialty dealing with the surgical and medical treatment of structural or functional disorders of the kidneys, urinary tracts, bladder, and genital organs in children. Congenital or acquired urological problems await early intervention for the healthy development of children.
In Adana, Assoc. Prof. İlknur Banlı Cesur, who has been serving in this field for many years, continues treatments focused on permanent solutions by applying current approaches and scientific standards in pediatric urology. Urological disorders seen in children are situations that have not only physical but also psychosocial effects; therefore, the treatment process requires high sensitivity.
Common Urological Disorders
The conditions we treat most frequently within the scope of pediatric urology are as follows:
- Undescended testis surgery (orchidopexy)
- Hydrocele surgery
- Inguinal hernia surgery
- Hypospadias surgery
- Vesicoureteral reflux surgery
- Ureteropelvic junction obstruction surgery (pyeloplasty)
- Testicular torsion surgery
- Circumcision and corrective circumcision surgeries in necessary cases
- Surgeries for bladder and urethra anomalies
Hypospadias Surgery
The treatment of the condition known among the public as Prophet's Circumcision is surgical. It is the condition where the urinary hole is lower than normal.
- Intervention at an early age (6-18 months)
- Meticulous tissue repair techniques
- Aesthetic and functional results
- Operation focused on success in a single session
Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction
Laparoscopic and open methods are used in the treatment of obstructions leading to urine collection in the kidney.
- Preservation of kidney functions
- Minimal invasive (closed) surgery option
- Evaluation with scintigraphy follow-up
- Fast recovery after surgery
Your Child's Urological Health is Our Trust
Performing childhood urology surgeries with micro-surgical principles is critical to preventing sexual and reproductive function disorders that may arise in the future. As a pediatric urology specialist in Adana, we see every child as our own child and prioritize the child's psychological comfort alongside surgical success.
Undescended testis surgery should generally be performed after the 6th month and definitely before the age of 1. Delay can lead to the testis being damaged by temperature changes and sperm production being impaired in the future.
Physiological adhesions are normal in infancy. However, situations that prevent urine flow (phimosis) or lead to frequent urinary tract infections require surgical evaluation.
