Surgery for urogenital malformations

Certain abnormalities of the urinary or genital tract are present from birth: abnormal position of the urinary opening (hypospadias), reflux of urine from the bladder to the kidney, narrowing of the junction between the kidney and the ureter, undescended testicle, or rarer malformations. Others are discovered later, in adulthood. Surgery for urogenital malformations aims to restore normal anatomy and function: protecting the kidney, allowing comfortable urination, preserving future fertility and cosmetic appearance. The techniques used are tailored to each malformation and, whenever possible, minimally invasive. These procedures require particular expertise, careful planning based on imaging and clear information for patients and families, especially when children are involved. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, these procedures are performed by experienced urologists, in collaboration with the pediatric surgery team when the patient is a child, in a suitable and reassuring environment.
