Question
My son is now 19 months old and has been diagnosed with a mild II degree of pediatric urethral rupture. The doctor suggested surgery and a “cultural chromosome test,” but both require waiting. How long does it take for pediatric urethral rupture surgery?
Answer
Urethral rupture is a common congenital anomaly in the male lower urinary tract and external genitalia, and it is generally recommended that surgery be performed in early infancy to avoid any impact on the child’s physical and mental health. Repairing and reconstructing the urethral rupture requires various surgical techniques, and the age for surgery can be as early as 6 months.
