The ACGME-accredited clinical program takes place at mainly at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital’s San Francisco Mission Bay site and Oakland site. The educational goals are the same at each site and follow the ACGME program requirements (Revised Common Program Requirements effective: July 1, 2016) Areas of Education: Specialized training in Pediatric Urology at UCSF covers all aspects of congenital urologic anomalies including prenatal diagnosis, childhood-acquired urologic problems such as urinary tract infection, tumors and trauma and urologic problems of adolescence. The subspecialty training in pediatric urology provides an experience of sufficient level for the trainee to acquire advanced skills in the management of congenital anomalies and pediatric urologic problems. Broadly, the goals and objectives of the UCSF training program in Pediatric Urology are to assure that each of the trainees receives an in depth theoretical and practical education in the various domains of Pediatric Urology. This training is expected to provide the graduate with an excellent background in all aspects of Pediatric Urology such that the individual on graduation is competent to practice independently, pediatric urology. Specific Educational Goals and Objectives: 1. Open Surgery: Experience in all aspects of pediatric surgery in the child with a urological problem.

  • Pediatric Urology Newsletter March 1, 2012
    Pediatric Urology Newsletter March 1, 2012 Hypospadias is a condition where the meatus (the opening of the penis) opens on the underside (ventrum) instead of the tip. It is considered arrested penile development for which the underlying etiology is still unknown. The incidence is roughly one in 300 males, making it a common congenital defect. In addition to the mislocation of the meatus, boys with hypospadias usually have an unformed foreskin on the underside of the penis. DIAGNOSIS Hypospadias is generally diagnosed during the first physical examination of a newborn male. A renal and bladder TREATMENT ultrasound is usually not indicated in the majority of Since the majority of hypospadias cases are distal, patients.

  • Surgical and Nonsurgical Treatment Options for Pediatric Neurogenic Bladder
    REVIEW Surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for pediatric neurogenic bladder The treatment of children with neurogenic bladder has evolved from the simple wearing of diapers and applying abdominal stoma, to better understanding of the bladder pathophysiology, and the introduction into clinical practice of the principles of clean intermittent catheterization, artifi cial sphincter implantation, continent urinary conduits and a wide spectrum of medications that modulate the function of the lower urinary tracts. In this review we discuss the recent developments in the medical therapy of children with neurogenic bladders, examine the surgical options, and briefl y refer to the future perspectives for the management of this group of patients. 1† KEYWORDS: medical treatment neurogenic bladder surgical treatment Boris CherƟ n , Jacob Golomb2 & Yoram Mor2 The most common cause of neurogenic blad- upper urinary tract damage.

A Moratorium on Intersex Surgeries?: Law, Science, Identity, and Bioethics at the Crossroads Abstract Should the law prevent all parents and guardians from requesting and consenting to cosmetic genital surgeries on children with certain intersex conditions before the children are mature enough to decide the matter for themselves? While such surgeries ought not to be encouraged, banning the surgeries altogether, as some advocate, would hobble, if not eliminate, the burgeoning scientific investigation of the best treatment practices for different intersex conditions. It would also remove a surgical option that, according to data in a number of studies, has resulted in subjectively satisfactory outcomes for many patients.
