Pediatric urology is a subspecialty of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions in children.
Urology is the branch of medicine that deals with the urinary tract system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra, as well as the male reproductive organs. Pediatric urologists specifically address urological issues in infants, children, and adolescents.

Hypospadias Repair: Surgical correction of the congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis but on the underside.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) Correction: Surgical procedures may be used to correct reflux, such as ureteral reimplantation.
Pyeloplasty: Surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis to correct a blockage in the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) that causes hydronephrosis.
Ureteral Reimplantation: Surgery to correct abnormalities in the ureters, often associated with vesicoureteral reflux.
Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) Ablation: Removal or ablation of obstructing valves in the posterior urethra, typically performed in male infants.
Bladder Exstrophy Repair: Surgical correction of the rare congenital condition where part of the bladder is exposed outside the body.
Orchiopexy: Surgery to bring undescended testicles into the scrotum.
Nephrectomy: Removal of a kidney, which may be necessary due to conditions such as severe hydronephrosis or non-functioning kidney.
Urinary Diversion: Creating a new way for urine to leave the body, often done in cases where the bladder has been removed or is nonfunctional.
