Question

My baby is now 7 months old, and I plan to have the surgery done after he turns one. I am very worried. How many such surgeries are performed in our area? Do I need to wait on a waiting list? Thank you very much!

Answer

Urethral rupture is a congenital defect in the opening of the male urethra, and surgery is the main treatment method for this condition. The surgery is divided into two phases, the first phase from 6 to 18 months, and the second phase from 3 to 4 years old. The specific situation needs to be determined based on the clinical condition. As for whether there are sufficient surgical resources in your area and whether you need to wait on a waiting list, it is recommended that you consult your local hospital or doctor. They will provide specific advice based on your baby’s condition. Thank you for your question!
