Genitourinary Specialists at Children’s Hospital New Orleans
The Center for Kidney and Genitourinary Disorders at Children's Hospital
New Orleans is a multidisciplinary program that provides comprehensive
care for pediatric urinary and genital system needs. Our team works closely
to effectively, efficiently and compassionately provide both medical and
surgical care for even the most complex genitourinary issues. Led by the
Departments of Nephrology and Urology, we offer a diverse group of physicians
with additional training to work specifically with children.
As the largest and most experienced group of pediatric kidney and genitourinary
specialists in the region, we see patients from all over the Gulf Coast,
nationally, and internationally with convenient offices across south Louisiana
and Mississippi. We provide the most advanced, most effective and least
invasive treatments available today. We care for children from prenatal
diagnosis and infancy to early childhood, adolescence and finally transitional
care into early adulthood. We strive not only to provide the best care,
but to also build trusting relationships with patients and their families.
Conditions we treat
We treat the entire spectrum of urinary and genital disorders with state-of-the-art
techniques and technologies. These include but are not limited to the
following:
Bedwetting
Bladder/Cloacal exstrophy
Cancer/Tumors of the Kidney, Bladder, Prostate, Testicle or Ovary
Voiding dysfunction (urinary frequency or urgency)
Research & education
The Center is actively involved in multiple research efforts to advance
the quality of care we provide for children. Research is conducted with
the highest standards of privacy and safety in place. Patient participation
is completely voluntary and highly appreciated. Our team is primarily
involved in projects based out of the Clinical Trials Center, The Research
Institute for Children, and LSU Health New Orleans, but also participates
in national and international research efforts. These efforts have led
to multiple peer-reviewed publications and presentations worldwide that
have influenced the evolution of kidney and genito-urinary care for children.
The medical staff is academically affiliated with the LSU Health New Orleans
School of Medicine and involved in mentoring and training the next generation
of physicians and health professionals from LSU Health New Orleans, Ochsner
and Tulane.
