Transitional Urology

Specially Trained Urologists Collaborate for Seamless Care of Congenital Urologic Conditions among Teens as they Transition to Adulthood

Background

Dr. Osterberg and Katie Wang, MD from Children’s Urology will collaborate on your specific needs as teens and young adults grow with congenital urologic conditions.

Some pediatric urology conditions need to be monitored throughout adulthood to maximize health and well-being. However, continuity of care is often interrupted due to the inability to find a urologist to care for complex pediatric urology conditions in adults. Our program is designed to provide seamless care for transitioning patients to ensure healthy outcomes.

Conditions We Treat

Below are some common pediatric urologic conditions that often require long-term follow-up:

• Spina bifida

• Neurogenic bladder or bowel

• Hypospadias or epispadias

• Bladder exstrophy or cloacal anomalies

• Intersex or disorders of sex development

• Infertility and sexual disorders associated with pediatric urological conditions

• Vesicoureteral reflux and renal insufficiency

• Prune belly syndrome

• Posterior urethral valves and urinary incontinence

• Stress urinary incontinence

• Bladder chemodenervation

• Sacral neuromodulation

• Urologic cancers diagnosed in childhood

How Does it Work?

Patients who are nearing adulthood and/or are teenagers looking to transition their urologic care from their pediatric urologist to an adult reconstruction urologist - this collaborative care team is right for you!

Pediatric patients who are deemed ready to transition by their pediatric urologist(s) are eligible.

Dr Osterberg will see patients who are ready for transitioning at his Urology Austin Radam Lane Location. Dr. Wang and Dr. Osterberg will discuss your history prior to your visit to provide a seamless transition.
