Under the expert care of Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar, children receive compassionate, child-friendly, and advanced urological care using modern diagnostic and minimally invasive surgical techniques.

What Is Pediatric Urology?

Pediatric urology deals with disorders of the:

• Kidneys

• Ureters

2. Undescended Testis (Cryptorchidism)

Failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum.
Early surgical correction is important for fertility and cancer prevention.

A condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis.
Corrected surgically to restore normal urination and appearance.
