Paediatric urological surgery (hypospadias, cryptorchidism)

Paediatric urological surgery corrects anomalies of the urinary tract and genital organs in children. The two most frequent reasons for surgery are hypospadias, an abnormal position of the urinary opening in boys, and cryptorchidism, when the testicle has not descended spontaneously into the scrotum. These procedures are scheduled at the best age for the child, generally during the first years of life, in order to obtain an optimal functional and aesthetic result while preserving later development. The techniques used are fine and meticulous, with discreet scars. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, these procedures are performed by paediatric surgeons highly experienced in children's urological surgery, with dedicated paediatric anaesthesia. Most procedures involve a short hospital stay, and the team guides parents through the simple care to be continued at home.
