Epispadias: effective treatment methods in Israeli clinics
Epispadias is a very rare type of congenital disease that occurs in newborns in one case in 55-70 thousand. Epispadias is a disease in which the wall of the urethral canal does not overgrow in certain areas or is completely absent. The rarity of the disease explains its poorly understood, in particular, the exact reasons for the development are still unknown to science. But Israeli clinics have developed effective methods of treatment, which are carried out by highly qualified doctors - the luminaries of medical science.
In most cases, epispadias is treated surgically, as a result of which about 99% of young patients recover. This fact attracts many foreign patients, as well as the fact that prices in Israeli clinics are much lower than the cost of similar services in medical centers in other developed countries.
How is epispadias diagnosed in Israeli clinics?
Timely and absolutely accurate diagnosis is the key to the shortest path to the child's recovery. In Israel, diagnostic services are provided as soon as possible: after consulting a urologist on the first day of stay, the patient undergoes a series of medical studies, the purpose of which is to determine the localization of the biopsy, its type, degree and other indicators. To do this, the doctor prescribes:
- CT, MRI;
- ultrasound;
- urodynamic examination.
Results studies are sent to the attending physician, who, on the third day of the little patient's stay in the clinic, convenes a consultation of specialists, which determines which method of epispadias can be effectively cured in one case or another. Also at this stage, parents are introduced to the prices of therapy, the full cost of treatment and services related to the child's stay in the clinic before surgery and during rehabilitation.
Methods and benefits of treating epispadias in Israeli clinics
Epispadias is usually found in newborn babies, but surgery is done at age 3 or later. In this case, all the features of the pathology and other factors must be taken into account. Along with urologists, child psychologists, pediatricians and other specialists work with young patients, thanks to which epispadias is treated comprehensively in the most friendly atmosphere.
In cases where epispadias of the head of the penis in boys or the clitoris in girls does not entail urinary incontinence, no surgery is required. Operations are performed in cases when epispadias causes physiological disorders and cosmetic defects in children, the occurrence of skin diseases.
Various methods of surgical intervention, successfully practiced in Israeli clinics, are aimed at reconstructing the missing sections of the urethral wall, to reconstruct the anterior wall of the bladder, restore the normal forms of the penis, etc. After the operation, regular emptying and washing of the bladder with a catheter is prescribed - this is necessary for a speedy recovery and prevention of complications.

The fairness of loyal prices is confirmed by the fact that the cost of epispadias therapy in Israeli clinics costs parents 40-50% cheaper than services of similar institutions in the US and Europe.
