Paediatric Urology
Specialist evaluation and surgical management of urinary and genital conditions in children.
Urological Care for Children
Urinary and genital conditions in children need assessment by a surgeon familiar with how these conditions present and develop in childhood.
Pratheep Nursing Home provides paediatric urology services at Palliyadi, Kanyakumari District, as part of its paediatric surgical practice. Some conditions are present from birth, while others are noticed later as a child grows.
The centre lists cystoscopy and laser urological procedures among its facilities, and paediatric laparoscopic techniques are used in selected urological work where appropriate.
Whether a particular procedure is suitable is decided after clinical evaluation. Parents are encouraged to contact the hospital to discuss their child’s condition.

Urinary problems in children are not small versions of adult ones.
Reflux, a blocked kidney, valves and hypospadias are all treated differently in a child, and by a different surgeon. Bring the scans and reports and we will tell you what your child’s actually needs.
