Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Yousuf is a Consultant Paediatric Surgeon and Paediatric Urologist. He treats children from newborn age through adolescence, covering urological conditions such as hydronephrosis, vesicoureteric reflux, hypospadias and undescended testis, alongside general paediatric surgical conditions including hernias, appendicitis and neonatal surgical problems.
Paediatric surgeons are trained specifically in the anatomy, physiology and conditions of infants and children, and in operating safely at small sizes and young ages. Children up to adolescence are generally best cared for by a paediatric specialist, and some conditions are followed into the late teens.
Dilatation of the kidney seen before birth is common and often settles on its own. It is usually followed up with an ultrasound after delivery, and sometimes further imaging, to determine whether there is an obstruction or reflux that needs treatment. Many babies need only monitoring; surgery is reserved for cases where kidney function or drainage is affected.
If a testis has not descended by around six months of age, it is unlikely to do so on its own, and an operation called orchidopexy is usually recommended. It is generally performed as a day-case procedure, and earlier treatment supports better long-term outcomes.
Many paediatric procedures can now be performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and fine instruments sized for children. Whether keyhole surgery is suitable depends on the condition, the child’s age and size, and the operation involved.
Please bring any previous scans and reports, including antenatal ultrasound results if relevant, previous operation or discharge summaries, your child’s vaccination record, a list of any medications, and details of the symptoms and how long they have been present.
