Urology

Urology is a surgical specialty that focuses on the function and disorders of the urinary tract, including the bladder and kidneys. Urologists also provide care for male reproductive organs.

Some of the conditions that most often require urological care include:

• Bowel management.
• Cerebral palsy.
• Congenital anomalies.
• Muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions.
• Neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction). 
• Spina bifida.
• Spinal cord injury and related neurotrauma.

Urological care, tests and treatment can include:

• Cystometrogram with electromyogram.
• Cystourethrogram (voiding cystourethrogram).
• Cystoscopy.
• Intravenous pyelogram.
• Loopogram.
• Renogram.

Prenatal Consultations

Because many of the complex conditions we treat are diagnosed before a child is born, our urologists also offer prenatal diagnosis and consultations. During a prenatal consultation, we’ll meet with you about conditions like congenital hydronephrosis and structural malformations of the urogenital tract. We provide information about current treatment options, counseling and help planning a course of treatment for children, teens and adults.
