Pediatric Urology
Why a Pediatric Urologist?Children are different. A child's urinary tract (kidneys, ureters and bladder) and genitalia are different than those of the adult's and the medical and surgical management of problems in these areas requires a different approach on the part of the treating physician. The Pediatric Urologists at the Riley Children's Hospital are board certified urologists who have chosen to further subspecialize in the area of children. Each has completed additional training (a fellowship) in pediatric urologic surgery at one of the nation's premier children's hospitals to further that expertise. Managing a diversity of problems ranging from complex genital and urinary tract disorders to socially debilitating voiding abnormalities requires the technical skills of a microsurgeon and the reassuring touch of a friend and confidant. The goals of the pediatric urologists at Riley are to provide the family with not only a diagnosis but an understanding of their child's problem and, if need be, to surgically correct those problems with the skill and care necessary to obtain excellent results. Remember, children are different. Riley Pediatric Urology TeamThe members of the Riley staff have achieved international recognition for their contributions to the field of Pediatric Urology. Together our professors have published over 140 original articles or chapters in current textbooks. These works have covered a variety of subjects, which range from the surgical repair of hypospadias and neurogenic bladder to the implications and management of the undescended testicle and fetal/neonatal hydronephrosis. In addition, each surgeon has lectured extensively on these and related topics. By combining their experiences and special areas of interest, the Riley team is committed to providing state-of-the-art pediatric urologic care for your child. Dr. Richard Rink (317) 274-7472 |
