European-trained pediatric urology
for children across Lebanon.

Dr. Anthony Kallas Chemaly is a fellowship-trained pediatric urologist practicing at Hôtel-Dieu de France (HDF) in Beirut, Clemenceau Medical Center (CMC), and Mount Lebanon Hospital. He holds an MD from Université Saint-Joseph (USJ) and a sub-specialty in pediatric urology from Université libre de Bruxelles, with advanced training at Hôpital Robert-Debré in Paris, Queen Fabiola Children's University Hospital in Brussels, and Hôpital Femme Mère-Enfant in Lyon.

His work combines daily clinical practice with academic research. PubMed-indexed articles list him as a coauthor in pediatric urology and related urologic surgery, reflecting an evidence-based approach to hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, undescended testis, and reconstructive pediatric cases.

He treats children from birth through adolescence for the full spectrum of pediatric urological conditions — hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testis, hydronephrosis, kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, and congenital anomalies of the urinary tract. He consults in Arabic, French, and English.

His practice locations serve families across Beirut and Mount Lebanon — from Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh, Saifi, and Sodeco to Verdun, Hamra, Clemenceau, and Ras Beirut. Patients also come from Rabieh, Mtayleb, Brummana, Bikfaya, Mansourieh, Kornet Chehwan, Antelias, Dbayeh, Jounieh, Kaslik, Hazmieh, Yarze, and across Keserwan and the Metn.

Expert care for every pediatric urological condition

From prenatal diagnosis to adolescent surgery — each condition has a dedicated page with symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and answers to parents' questions.

🔧

Hypospadias — الإحليل التحتي — Hypospadias

A congenital condition where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis. Surgical repair is typically performed between 6–18 months with excellent outcomes when done by an experienced pediatric urologist.

🔄

Vesicoureteral Reflux — الارتجاع المثاني الحالبي — Reflux vésico-urétéral

When urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, risking infection and kidney damage. Management ranges from monitoring to surgical correction, including laparoscopic reimplantation.

Undescended Testis — الخصية المعلقة — Cryptorchidie

When one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. Surgery (orchidopexy) is recommended by 12 months of age to preserve fertility and reduce future risks.

💧

Hydronephrosis — موه الكلية — Hydronéphrose

Swelling of the kidney due to urine buildup, often detected on prenatal ultrasound. Most cases resolve, but some require surgical intervention (pyeloplasty) to prevent kidney damage.

Bedwetting — التبول الليلي — Énurésie nocturne

Persistent nighttime wetting beyond age 5–6 years. A thorough evaluation identifies underlying causes — from behavioral factors to bladder dysfunction — leading to targeted treatment.

Pediatric Kidney Stones — حصى الكلى عند الأطفال — Calculs rénaux pédiatriques

Increasingly common in children, requiring specialized evaluation of metabolic causes and minimally invasive treatment including laser ureteroscopy and medical management.

🫧

Hydrocele — القيلة المائية — Hydrocèle

Fluid accumulation around the testicle causing scrotal swelling. Often resolves in infants, but persistent hydrocele beyond 12–18 months typically requires a minor surgical procedure.

🧠

Neurogenic Bladder — المثانة العصبية — Vessie neurologique

Bladder dysfunction caused by neurological conditions such as spina bifida. Requires comprehensive management including catheterization programs, medication, and sometimes surgical augmentation.

🔗

UPJ Obstruction — انسداد الوصل الحالبي الحويضي — Obstruction jonction pyélo-urétérale

Blockage at the junction where the kidney meets the ureter. When significant, pyeloplasty — an operation to widen the connection — restores normal urine drainage and protects kidney function.

Why parents trust their children to my care

Surgery is the last resort, not the first option. Every child gets a thorough evaluation before any decision is made.

Precision before intervention

I do not rush to operate. Every child receives a complete diagnostic workup — imaging, labs, urodynamics when indicated — so families understand exactly what we're dealing with before we discuss next steps. Many conditions resolve on their own. The ones that don't deserve the best surgical plan, not the fastest one.

European-trained surgical technique

Fellowship training at Robert-Debré, Queen Fabiola, and HFME exposed me to the full spectrum of pediatric urological surgery — from complex hypospadias repairs to laparoscopic reimplantation. I bring that training to every case in Beirut.

Research that informs practice

My work includes PubMed-indexed and peer-reviewed publications in pediatric urology and related surgical fields. That academic involvement helps keep my decisions current, practical, and grounded in evidence rather than routine alone.

Parents are part of the team

I explain every finding, every option, and every risk — in the language that feels most natural to you. Arabic, French, or English. No jargon without definition. No decisions without understanding. Your child's care is a partnership.

Dr. Kallas Chemaly specializes in the full spectrum of pediatric urological conditions: hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), undescended testis (cryptorchidism), hydronephrosis, pediatric kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, and bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis).

Early evaluation leads to better outcomes — many conditions are best treated within the first year of life.
