3rd International Paediatric Urology Workshop 28 - 31 March 2012
There are more than 75 million children in Pakistan and 1 in 500 will have an anomaly of the urinary tract. Current Service provisions for this large and critical population are totally inadequate. In particular there is a serious shortage of specialized pediatric urology units.
Treatment is strictly on the basis of clinical priority and always provided free and with dignity.

The SIUT Department of Paediatric Urology was setup 10 years ago and was at that time the first and only dedicated centre to offer a complete range of treatment for urological disease in children in Pakistan.
Following upon the success of the two previous live surgical courses, SIUT is pleased to contribute further to the development of paediatric urology in Pakistan with the third live surgical course.
We are privileged that Professor Ricardo Gonzalez, one of the most experienced paediatric urologists in the world returns following his very popular participation in the last course. It is a pleasure to welcome Mr Padriag (Pat) Malone who, apart from his extensive paediatric urological experience, is the originator of the Malone ACE procedure for neurophatic bowel management which is of such important to both paediatric suregons and urologists.
The department of Paediatric Urology by Philip Ransley and Sajid Sultan manages the entire spectrum of urological anomalies in children including the exstrophy/episdadias complex, obstructive uropathies, hyposapdias, disorders of sexual differentiation and traumatic urethral injuries.
In response to rapidly developing field of prenatal diagnosis, a system for parinatal care has been created. Services have been developed to detect and optimally manage congntial anomalies of the renal tract from birth.
In parallel with the adult team, the complete range od endoscopic treatment for children with stone disease is available and includes laser, pneumatic lithoclast and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Children with urinary tract tumours have access to chemotheraphy, excisional surgery, radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Kidney transplantation is one of the core activities of SIUT and thus far, over 450 paediatric renal transplants have been performed.
Multidiscipilinary integrated management of the critically ill child is provided under of roof with close collaboration with paediatric nephrology, radiology, oncology, anaesthesia and intensive care.
