The urological problems that affect children require understanding, experience and an exceedingly skilled touch to correct. Children are not adults. They are fragile both physically and psychologically, and their anatomy is often not fully developed.
Cleveland Clinic pediatric urologists receive one or more years training in treating children’s urologic problems beyond their traditional extensive urologic training. Our physician staff works closely with pediatric anesthesiologists, pediatric nurses, and a host of pediatric sub-specialists dedicated to caring for children.
Children undergoing surgery are treated in operating rooms designed specifically to meet their needs. Many of the techniques used in the world today were developed at Cleveland Clinic, and we maintain an ongoing research program to develop tomorrow’s innovations in pediatric urology.
