"Urologists handling adult patients need to be ahead in the areas of drugs and techniques. Therefore, we looked at a separate wing to handle children whose tissues are soft. The disorders are different from adult urological conditions because it mostly congenital. The way these kids respond to medicines and surgery is also different to adults," said Dr B S Bansal, chairman, RG Stone.

The key objective for a Paediatric Urologist is to perform a surgery only when absolutely required. Some of the diseases which were operated earlier on are now managed with drugs. We are also looking at best long-term results with shorter and less painful hospitalization, he added.
