Pediatric Urology

The most common developmental kidney disease in children is stenosis at the junction of the renal pool and the urinary tract (Ureteropelvic junction stenosis – UPJ stenosis). It is the most common cause of kidney enlargement (Prenatal hydronephrosis) encountered in the womb. When this stenosis is first detected, several tests must be performed together to understand the damage to the kidney. First of all, kidney length, pool diameter, and the thickness of the fleshy part of the kidney are examined in ultrasound, and then, with nuclear medicine examination (renogram with diuretics), the kidney's blood supply and ability to filter urine and transmit it from the pool to the urinary tract are investigated...

4.Vesicoureteral Reflux. (VUR)

Unfortunately, the most common cause of kidney failure in our country is still urinary tract infections due to vesicoureteral reflux. In vesicoureteral reflux, urine from the bladder accidentally leaks back into the kidney and contaminated urine causes damage to the kidney. Vesicoureteral reflux often presents with febrile urinary tract infection or prenatal hydronephrosis. Diagnosis is made by inserting a thin catheter into the urinary tract into the bladder, called voiding cystourethrography or voiding cystourethrography. It is detected by an x-ray film taken during the administration of a dyed liquid with the help of…

5.Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV)

One of the most important causes of childhood kidney failure. are curtains in the urinary tract. These curtains that prevent urination, called the posterior urethral valve, can also be considered as a childhood prostate disease. While it can be detected with prenatal hydronephrosis, it can also be detected only with complaints of urination disorders in older ages…

6.Megaureter and Ureterocele (Renal Duplication)

Renal duplication on its own Although it is not a disease, it may carry vesicoureteral reflux, ureterocele or megaureter diseases. Ureterocele is the formation of a bubble in the urinary tract within the bladder, which can sometimes prevent the kidney from passing urine from the urethra to the bladder. In this case, the kidney pool swells and in some cases, the urinary tract also swells and becomes a megaureter. Megaureter, Ureterocele, Renal Duplication

7. Undescended Testis

Another consequence of our foods being affected by genetically modified products and preservative chemicals is the effect on our babies' genital organs and testicles. Due to the disrupted delicate hormonal balance, the testicles of male babies may not descend into the sac. If the baby's testicle is not in the bag, it is called undescended testicle...

8. Hydrocele

When changing boys' diapers, the most common thing that mothers pay attention to is the child's bag. Saddle swelling, which occurs in the first year of life, is usually caused by the accumulation of water around the egg, which is called hydrocele. Hydrocele in children occurs as a result of the inguinal ligament not closing. Children usually get rid of this disorder until the age of 2 as a result of the spontaneous closure of the inguinal ligament. After the age of two, there is no chance of this situation getting better on its own and this ligament must be closed with an operation…

9. Hypospadias (The Prophet was Circumcised)

The fact that the urinary hole is lower than it should be is generally called hypospadias. Another accompanying finding is that the foreskin does not develop in the lower area. r. Incomplete foreskin is described as "partially circumcised" or "prophet circumcised" in the eyes of the public. Another accompanying abnormality is the presence of a curved penis and typically the penis is bent forward in a hook shape… 

10. Circumcision and Circumcision Errors

The most common surgical procedure performed in our country is circumcision, but unfortunately, it receives the importance it deserves only when undesirable results occur. Families often apply to physicians requesting urgent circumcision due to the inability to remove the foreskin manually or the white inflammatory appearance at the tip of the penis. The peelability of the foreskin and the pus-like white fluid can be abused by non-experts by saying that urgent circumcision is required… 

11. Labial Adhesion In girls' first 7 to 9 years of age, the labia minora next to the vagina may remain stuck to each other because there is not enough female hormones in the body. This condition is somewhat similar to phimosis seen in boys. The biggest mistake made is trying to correct this normal situation, which does not cause urinary tract infection, by manual separation…

12. Short Penis, Buried Penis and Curved Penis

The thing that most often worries families about male genital organs is the short penis length (short penis). What needs to be known is that micropenis, that is, the sickly smallness of the penis, is an extremely rare disease. Usually the cause is chromosomal or hormonal diseases. Very good results can be obtained with hormone treatments. The most common penis disorder we see in our country is the buried penis condition, which is observed as a circumcision error after circumcision. Especially in overweight children, when circumcision is performed, the ligaments that hold the penis outside the body are not taken into consideration and after circumcision, the penis leaks into the fat layers inside the navel… 

13. Bedwetting (Enuresis Nocturna)

When children over the age of 5 wet the bed more than twice in a month, it is medically called bedwetting. Approximately 15% of all children may wet the bed by age 16. This disorder is especially common in children whose parents have bedwetting.

14. Urination Disorders and Daytime Urinary Incontinence

The average age of children for pee training is 2-3 years. Trying to force pee training on children may later cause severe urination disorders, as well as frequent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux. The most common urination disorder is urinating frequently and in small amounts. This condition is often accompanied by a sudden urge to urinate and daytime urinary incontinence until going to the toilet… 

15. Spina Bifida and Neurogenic Bladder

One of the greatest achievements of pediatric urology in the last 30 years is the prevention of deaths due to kidney failure in children born with a sac in their waist (myeloningocele). While these unlucky children and families are dealing with diseases such as stiff legs and inability to walk, or accumulation of water in the head (hydrocephalus), they tend to ignore less important problems such as urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, and vesicoureteral reflux. However, unfortunately, children with spina bifida most often die due to kidney damage… 

16. Problem-free Circumcision

Circumcision is the removal of the skin covering the head of the penis. Circumcision. It has always existed throughout human history. Circumcision figures belonging to the ancient Egyptians have been found. Circumcision is religiously obligatory for Muslims and Jews. Circumcision has become very common in the United States in the last 10 years. Some insurance companies even cover penis-related diseases (for example, in uncircumcised children) (such as inflammation) are excluded from the scope.
