Patient Stories
Advanced surgical techniques get patient back on the playing field quickly
When Jon was born, doctors discovered an obstruction in his right kidney that was preventing urine from flowing out of it and causing it to swell – a condition known as hydronephrosis.
Conditions We Treat
Pediatric inguinal hernia (groin)
Pediatric cystinuria (inherited kidney stone disorder)
Pediatric nephrolithiasis (kidney and ureteral stones)
Pediatric neurogenic bladder
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children
Pediatric varicocele
Pediatric vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
Pediatric undescended testes (cryptorchidism - UDT)

The latest innovations, adapted specifically for children
Our team is skilled at adapting the most advanced treatment and surgical techniques for children. We have successfully used the da Vinci Surgical Robotic System for reconstructive surgery on even the smallest children, including infants needing kidney surgery in the first weeks of life. We also offer the innovative HIDES technique to make the scar virtually invisible.
Success achieved by skill, instincts and experience
The nationally renowned and innovative surgeons that practice at Children’s Health have resolved the most complex urologic conditions for children here in North Texas and across the country. Of course, we use a conservative approach, using robotic and minimally invasive techniques only when no other option will work. Should your child need surgery, you should expect to have a minimally invasive surgical option that offer the benefits of less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery time.
Dedicated to education and advancing robotic surgery internationally
As a major contributor in the field of pediatric robotic surgery, our team regularly provides ongoing educational experiences to an international audience of surgeons. We have conducted two global webcast surgical sessions from our home in Dallas, Texas, and are actively developing new methods to teach robotic and reconstructive surgery. In addition, our team has been actively developing new simulation models for reconstructive surgery to teach robotic surgery at all levels.
