Urology is a comprehensive medical specialty concerned with the study and treatment of diseases of the urogenital system in both men and women. It carries out and develops methods for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases. Urology deals primarily with the surgical treatment of the relevant conditions, but conservative methods are also often used.
Pediatric urology is one of the sub-specialties within the field, dealing with the particularities, diagnosis, and treatment of urological conditions in children, where over 90% of these conditions are various types of anomalies.
The Pediatric Urology Unit at VITA Hospital is a unit specialized in diagnosing and treating congenital and acquired urological conditions in childhood. It carries out, in full scope, all types of surgical procedures on the excretory and reproductive systems in children.
The VITA Pediatric Urology Unit, headed by Dr. Emil Atanasov, also includes Dr. Simeon Andreev, Dr. Ivan Alexander Georgiev, and Dr. Martin Tsanev on its team.
The highly qualified specialists in the unit use all modern treatment methods for urological conditions in children.
Ultrasound examination is the most accurate and indicative method for detecting kidney anomalies, inflammation, stones, or other dysfunctions that may have caused, or led to, the child's condition.
The unit performs laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries, and these methods allow children - including very young ones, aged 1 to 2 years - with specific congenital urological conditions to be operated on in a bloodless, non-traumatic way.
In addition, the laparoscopic method allows for exceptional precision, shortens the hospital stay, and leaves no visible scar from the surgery performed.
