- The treatment of complications is individualised. Some may spontaneously correct, some may need a few sessions of dilating the urinary tube.
- Some, however, will need another surgery for correction.
- Dilating the urinary tube is a simple procedure that can be done in the clinic. An instrument that looks like a fine steel rod is used to gauge the size of the newly made tube, and progressively wider rods are introduced into the opening to stretch it gently. If this causes too much pain, or mental distress to the child, a brief anaesthesia is used to complete the procedure.
