Diagnostic options for children
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in managing pediatric kidney stones. The hospital uses child-specific imaging and expert evaluations to determine the size and location of stones. Available diagnostic services include:
- Pediatric urology consultation. A specialist evaluates the physical symptoms and surgical needs of the child.
- Pediatric nephrology consultation. Doctors check kidney function and look for metabolic causes of stone formation.
- Imaging tests. Options include ultrasound, CT, and MRI scans adapted for pediatric safety.
- Endoscopic examination. Physicians may use small cameras to look inside the urinary tract for a direct view.
Surgical and medical treatment
When stones cannot pass naturally, the pediatric urology division performs minimally invasive procedures. The surgical team carries out 400+ urology operations annually. They use modern endoscopic tools that fit the smaller anatomy of infants and children, which helps reduce physical trauma and recovery time.
- Endoscopic surgery. Surgeons remove or break down stones using small scopes inserted through the urinary tract.
- Nephrology kidney stone unit. This department focuses on the medical management and prevention of future stone formation.
- Dedicated outpatient services. The pediatric clinic provides long-term follow-up to monitor kidney health after treatment.
