Expectations after Surgery

Surgery is necessary to:

prevent infection that could decrease kidney function
allow the child to develop normal urinary control
improve the child's physical appearance
avoid future problems with sexual function

Some children are unable to develop adequate urinary control and may later need further urinary repair.
