Statistical clinical studies of pediatric urology were made on 2,803 inpatients and 2,335 operative procedures at our department from Jan. 1957 to Dec. 1996. The statistical clinical studies of pediatric urology were summarized as follows: 1. Total number of inpatients and operations was 2,586 and 2,208 in male, 217 and 127 in female, respectively. 2. Total number of pediatric inpatients and operative procedures was markedly increased since 1980. Neonates and infants were also increased since late 1980 according to activation of antenatal clinics, especially. 3. The main diseases were cryptorchidism, hypospadias, obstruction of ureteropelvic junction (UPJO), hydrocele and urethral injury. The most common involved organ was penis and scrotum followed by urethra, kidney, ureter and bladder. 4.
