Overview

Overview

Part of the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute, the Center for Pediatric Urology provides comprehensive care for routine and complex kidney, bladder and genitourinary issues in neonates, children, adolescents and into adulthood.

Our specialists are familiar with advanced treatments for pediatric urological conditions and have assisted in the development of many of them. Today’s advanced imaging technologies allow many urologic conditions to be detected before a child is born. When genitourinary issues are diagnosed prenatally, our multidisciplinary team works together to provide parents with a detailed therapeutic plan. When appropriate, they will recommend medical or surgical intervention for acquired and congenital problems.  To minimize trauma and recovery time, the surgeons use minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery, whenever possible. Our program also provides transitional care from pediatric to adulthood for patients with congenital anomalies in the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute’s Department of Genitourinary Reconstruction.

In our state of the art urodynamics laboratory, we provide for the complete evaluation and analysis of urological conditions. Our specialists continue to refine modern technologies and techniques while at the same time conducting research to create even more effective therapies.

Virtual Visits

Select pediatric urology patients can now see our specialists online from their home by using MyClevelandClinic (TM). This service allows families a fast, secure and easy way to receive pediatric care in a live virtual visit using a smartphone (iPhone or Android), tablet or computer.

Why go virtual? It's an easy, convenient and secure way to see your provider face-to-face without having to leave home. This saves you travel time, parking fees and time spent in the waiting room — and you can also have a loved one or caregiver join you. If appropriate, you can also get a prescription sent to the pharmacy of your choice.

Many insurance companies cover the cost of virtual visits, so check with your insurance company ahead of time. Interested in getting started? Call your provider to find out what virtual visit options are available.

Established pediatric patients suffering from urinary incontinence (daytime wetting) can schedule virtual care follow-up appointments as well.

Pediatric Spina Bifida Clinic

At the pediatric spina bifida (also known as myelomeninocele) clinic, we work with pediatric specialists to preserve the child’s kidney and bladder function. We monitor the child’s kidneys and bladder through imaging studies including kidney ultrasounds, voiding cystourethrogram and urodynamics. Sometimes early intervention, such as catheterization, are key to maintaining kidney and bladder function.
