Question
My 2-year-old child has urethral cleft, and he urinates at the root of the penis. We want to treat our child and would like to ask which hospital is good for treating pediatric urethral cleft?
Answer
Urethral cleft is a common malformation in pediatric urology, typically treated surgically before school age. Treatment depends on the specific situation, and it can usually be done in county-level or municipal hospitals. If conditions permit, it’s best to go to a larger hospital to determine the appropriate timing and method of surgery, which is beneficial for a successful and thorough recovery.
