Urology

Overview

North Carolina Children's Hospital is one of only four medical centers in the state that offer specialty care in pediatric urology. The Department of Urology's pediatric service is devoted solely to the care of children with both simple and complex urological problems, including vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, undescended testicles, hernias, hydroceles, and genital reconstruction for problems like hypospadias or ambiguous genitalia. The pediatric service manages inpatient cases at N.C. Children's Hospital and also provides outpatient consultations in the Children’s Hospital's clinic.

The department's pediatric specialists use endoscopic and laparoscopic equipment to evaluate and treat pediatric patients from newborn to young adult. Leading-edge laparoscopic procedures for pyeloplasty and genital reconstruction minimize morbidity and subsequently decrease hospital stay.
