Pediatric Urinary Tract

The urinary and reproductive systems in children are in a critical state of development. Any health issue requires intervention from an expert consultant who understands how to protect kidney and reproductive functions for the long term. At Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari’s clinic, we provide integrated care ranging from congenital anomalies detected before birth to urological issues in adolescence.

Our Approach to Child Care

We believe that a child is not just a “small adult,” but a unique patient requiring specialized diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari is committed to:

• Minimally Invasive Procedures: To reduce pain and speed up recovery.

• Clear Parental Guidance: Providing simplified, thorough explanations regarding the child’s condition and treatment options.

• A Child-Friendly Environment: Ensuring the examination process is comfortable and non-intimidating.

Conditions & Congenital Anomalies We Treat

1. Undescended Testis

One of the most common conditions in male newborns. The doctor precisely evaluates the case to determine the optimal time for intervention (usually before age one). We perform orchiopexy via microsurgery or laparoscopy to secure the testis and preserve the child’s future fertility.

2. Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis)

We manage bedwetting in children over the age of five by:

• Ruling out organic causes such as UTIs or urethral narrowing.

• Designing integrated behavioral and nutritional programs.

• Providing safe pharmacological intervention when clinically indicated.

3. Hydronephrosis & Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

We treat cases where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, which can cause recurrent infections and damage kidney function. Options include:

• Careful monitoring and infection prevention.

• Endoscopic Injection (Deflux): A simple, non-surgical procedure to treat reflux.

• Precision surgery for ureteral re-implantation in advanced cases.

4. Hypospadias & Penile Anomalies

A highly specialized field requiring reconstructive surgical skill to rebuild the urethra in its natural position and correct penile curvature, ensuring a normal life for the child upon reaching adulthood.

5. Inguinal Hernia & Hydrocele

Diagnosis and treatment of fluid collection around the testis or inguinal hernias through simple surgeries that ensure the child recovers quickly and returns to their normal activities.
