From simple cases to the most complex conditions, our caring urologists and staff take the time to get to know your child, listen to your concerns and create a treatment plan designed specifically for your child’s condition.

Our urologists treat children of all ages, from infants to teens, as well as provide prenatal care. We take a team approach and work closely with other specialists, including pediatric nephrologists and maternal/fetal specialists, to deliver the most comprehensive and innovative pediatric urology treatment available.

Whether your child is suffering from urinary incontinence at night (bed-wetting) or during the day, you can trust our team to identify the cause.

We will work closely with you and your child to determine whether his or her urinary incontinence is a result of a physical (anatomical) problem, behavioral issues or lifestyle concerns, such as diet or fluid intake. Your child’s treatment may include:

• Behavior modification. This includes limiting liquids before bed or urinating on a timed schedule.
• Medications. Certain medications may reduce wetting by relaxing the bladder and preventing contractions.
• Surgery. In rare cases when the cause of wetting is determined to be anatomical, your urologist may recommend surgery.

Anatomical Abnormalities

If your child has an anatomical condition, our pediatric urology team will provide expert care in a kid-friendly environment. Children with conditions that require surgery are treated at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital, one of the region’s premier pediatric hospitals.

We provide expert diagnosis and treatment for:

• Undescended testicle(s), which occurs when one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum.
• Hypospadias, which occurs in boys when the opening of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) is located somewhere on the penis other than the tip.
• Hydrocele, which is a collection of fluid in the scrotum caused by a membrane that did not close properly during prenatal development.
• Scrotal problems, such as lumps, pain, infection or swelling.
• Ambiguous sexual conditions, which occur when something goes wrong during the prenatal development of sex organs.
• Circumcision revision, which may be necessary if too much skin is removed, too little skin is removed, or adhesions develop as a result of a circumcision.
• Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), which is the backwards flow of urine from the bladder into the kidneys. VUR can sometimes lead to recurring urinary tract infections.
