Riley's story: Unclear test results push the urology team to find answers

More Details
At Children’s Health℠, our experts treat the full range of urologic conditions, from simple problems such as bedwetting to the most complex conditions requiring advanced surgical intervention. We’re here for your child when you need us – diagnosing and treating all urologic conditions, before birth, throughout childhood and sometimes providing continuity of care into adulthood.
As one of the top pediatric urological programs in the country, the UT Southwestern Pediatric Group physicians practicing at Children’s Health are consistently finding ways to improve urological care for children. U.S. News & World Report ranked Children’s Health among the best pediatric hospitals in the United States for pediatric urology, and physicians routinely appear on “Best of” lists as named by both patients and peers.
A national leader in minimally invasive and robotic surgery
Children’s Health offers the only dedicated pediatric robotic surgery program in North Texas. We are a national leader in minimally invasive and robotic surgery and every one of the physicians on our team is certified in the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. We perform some of the country’s highest numbers of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries for pediatric urology conditions.
Whenever possible, we offer minimally invasive options, including laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which result in less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery time. In addition, we developed a technique to hide already small surgical incisions below the underwear line.
Trusted advice in pediatric urology
Whether your child has blood in his or her urine, is experiencing wetting or has pain in his testicles, the urologic specialists have years of experience in diagnosing and treating every type of urologic condition. We understand that seeing a specialist can seem scary for your child and we understand your concerns. Our goal is to help put your child – and you – at ease, while providing the best possible care.
