Pediatric Urology in India: Challenges, Innovations, and Dr. Sadashiv Bhole’s Expertise

Pediatric urology is a crucial but underdeveloped specialty in India, facing unique challenges as well as promising opportunities for innovation. Dr. Sadashiv Bhole, the leading urologist and urinary tract specialist in Nagpur and Central India, brings over 30 years of experience and more than 60,000 successful surgeries to advance pediatric urological care with expert knowledge and state-of-the-art technology.

The Growing Importance of Pediatric Urology in India

India has witnessed remarkable improvements in child mortality rates; however, congenital urogenital anomalies now make up about 9% of under-five deaths — a threefold increase since 1990. Structural abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract are among the most common causes of pediatric chronic kidney disease affecting over 1.1 million children nationwide.

Despite these challenges, pediatric urology services remain fragmented and under-resourced across much of the country, leading to a critical need for specialized, high-quality care.

Key Challenges Facing Pediatric Urology in India
  • Lack of Standardized Training: Unlike Western countries with formal accredited pediatric urology fellowships, India lacks a standardized curriculum. Specialists emerge from both urology and pediatric surgery backgrounds without uniform protocols, leading to inconsistency in care quality.
  • Declining Interest in Pediatric Specialization: Financial considerations and long-term patient management discourage many young surgeons from pediatric urology or pediatric surgery.
  • Infrastructure and Workforce Gaps: Insufficient specialized centers and uneven distribution of expertise limit access especially in rural regions.
  • Commercial Viability Issues: Pediatric urology is often considered less commercially attractive compared to adult urology, impacting investment and career choices.
  • Complexity of Pediatric Cases: Congenital anomalies, delicate reconstructive surgeries, and pediatric stone disease require advanced skills rarely available outside specialized centers.
