We offer precision robotic surgery with a human touch, joining an elite group of children's hospitals that use this innovative tool. We performed the first pediatric robotic renal surgery in Tennessee in 2010. Our surgeons are also skilled at reconstructive procedures with standard laparoscopy. We have one of the most experienced teams in the nation performing sacral neuromodulation for children with refractory voiding dysfunction.

We are currently involved in nationally funded, award-winning basic science research in a state-of-the-art laboratory. We have led the NIH funded Management of Myelomeningocele (MOMS) trial and are involved in the Center for Disease Control Spina Bifida Program as a center of excellence in managing this condition.

We offer a highly sought after two-year Pediatric Urology Fellowship that trains the leaders of the future.

Some pediatric urology patients need urologic care into adulthood. Our Transition Clinic focuses on moving adolescent patients who have been followed in our clinics to adult care.
