#Didyouknow, for children like Emery, proven techniques like the Kelly operation can make all the difference in improving quality of life? Here’s what Professor Imran Mushtaq, Emery’s Consultant Paediatric Urologist, had to say about this procedure: “We believe that every child should have a chance to gain control. Performing the surgery early gives the bladder more time to grow and develop. Our results over the past 20 years have proven that this approach delivers significantly better outcomes compared to previous methods. The results with the Kelly operation are a clear testament to this improvement.” As part of our ongoing commitment to transforming lives, stories like Emery’s showcase the real-life impact of leading techniques like the Kelly operation. With over two decades of expertise, we continue to set new standards in paediatric urology, delivering outcomes that change lives.
