Neurourology Program

Bladder dysfunction and urinary incontinence and infection are common problems in pediatric urology. Twenty-five percent of bladder dysfunction issues that occur in children are related to neuromuscular conditions. These issues can arise from developmental abnormalities in the fetus, problems that occur around the time of birth, or from traumatic injuries.

The Neurourology Unit, within the Urology Department, has made major advances in treating children with myelodysplasia and other neurologic conditions that have revolutionized care for these children both nationally and internationally.
