Circumcision should not lag behind the ceremony and dress.

Circumcision is the work of a pediatric urologist.

Doç. Dr. Ünsal Özkuvancı

Simple treatments in urethral stricture can make the disease worse.

Circumcision

The most common surgical procedure in the world for religious and medical purposes is circumcision. Despite the advanced health standards in our country, a large number of circumcision complications are encountered. Surgeons who deal with these complications that may negatively affect the child's psychosocial life (less or more cutting of the foreskin, injury to the glans penis and urinary tract, partial penile loss, etc.)

HYPOSPADIAS

Hypospadias is the second most common congenital disorder in boys. It occurs as a result of insufficient development of the anterior surface of the penis in the mother's womb. The cases are classified according to the opening of the urethra on the penis. Generally, in 70% of the cases, the urinary opening is located close to the tip of the penis and is called the distal or mild form, while in the rest, the urinary opening is located at the root of the penis.

Undescended Testis

While most of the testicles are in the womb, they descend into bags called scrotum around the 7th month. While most of the remaining ones descend in the first 3 months after birth, it is appropriate to surgically lower the undescended testicles at 4 months or more into the egg bag until the age of 1 at the latest.

Congenital Hydronephrosis

Renal enlargement of varying degrees is observed in 1-5% of fetal ultrasonography performed during pregnancy. Approximately 90% of these enlargements do not cause loss of function and regress spontaneously over time. Although a small portion of kidney enlargements develop due to occlusion and carry the risk of loss of kidney function (10%), it is not known which enlargements will cause loss of function or not, due to the absence of an examination that fully reveals the obstruction in the early period.

URETEROPELVIC CONJUNCTION stricture

Renal enlargement occurs in 10-30% of cases due to ureteropelvic junction stenosis. Interruption of the flow of urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary tube called the ureter causes the accumulation of urine in and inside the renal pelvis and accordingly enlargement. The pressure effect created by this urine accumulation causes damage to the cells that produce kidney urine.

VESICOURETERAL REFLUX

The return of the urine collected in the bladder to the kidneys through the ureters is called vesicoureteral reflux. Normally, there is an anatomical structure in our body that prevents the urine in the bladder from escaping back into the ureters (flap valve mechanism). Reflux occurs due to congenital or subsequent deterioration of this structure.
