How do healthcare teams treat patients later in life who were born with congenital urologic anomalies?
Healthcare professionals work with patients to address multiple complex personal and urological issues. Treatments may include medication, surgery or outpatient procedures, and counseling.
Depending on the condition, an interdisciplinary team of medical specialists will review the patient’s medical and surgical history and evaluate his or her present condition. The patient will be consulted to determine current and future requirements, with the aim of devising a plan to meet these specific needs. Because some congenital anomalies affect multiple organ systems, the team of specialists will be tailored to provide comprehensive care.
