Surgery for Reproductive Tract Anomalies
About one in 20 babies born with a female reproductive system has a congenital anomaly in their vagina, cervix, uterus or ovaries. This means their organs developed differently before birth. While some congenital anomalies do not cause symptoms or require treatment, others can be serious and require expert care.
At the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital, our pediatric and adolescent gynecologists work as part of a specialized team to treat all types of congenital anomalies. If your child, preteen or teen has a reproductive tract anomaly, we’re here to provide education, care and support.
With locations across Chicago and the western and southwestern suburbs, we aim to provide more convenient and flexible appointment scheduling options for your family.

Congenital Anomalies We Treat
Some common congenital anomalies we routinely treat in kids include:
Pelvic Surgery in Children and Teens
Without surgery, some types of congenital anomalies of the female reproductive system can affect your child’s or teen’s menstrual periods, fertility and quality of life. At Comer Children’s, we collaborate with your child’s pediatrician as well as specialists in urogynecology, pediatric urology, pediatric gastroenterology and pediatric surgery to develop a personalized treatment plan for your child. We also work closely with other specialists to repair congenital colorectal anomalies.
Our team has specialized training and expertise to repair even the most complex anorectal and genitourinary anomalies in kids of all ages. We can also care for your child, preteen or teen if they have had previous surgery to repair their anomaly.
