..The objective of this study was to examine trends in the epidemiology of urolithiasis at pediatric hospitals nationwide...

..Little is known of current practice patterns for pediatric urolithiasis. We examined recent trends in imaging and surgical management...

..Progressive perineal dilation is a minimally invasive method with high success rates. However, the economic merits of progressive perineal dilation compared to surgical vaginoplasty are unknown...

..Our objective was to evaluate screening for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) among siblings of patients with VUR, in terms of cost, radiation exposure, and number of febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs) averted...

..We evaluate the effectiveness of this practice...

..We attempted to determine whether these factors reduce the efficacy of Dx/HA injection compared with that in otherwise normal patients...

..We combined the results of 5 pediatric urologists to evaluate the efficacy of this technique compared to that of subtrigonal-only injection in relation to other factors...

..This study was performed to determine whether saturation biopsy (>or= 24 cores) detects more prostate cancer than a standard 12-18 core office biopsy technique...

..Further data are required to clarify the long-term clinical implications of this increase...

..We report the largest known series of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children with urachal anomalies (UA)...

..Few studies document the incidence of surgically relevant postoperative obstruction or the characteristics of patients at risk...

..We reviewed the literature and examined our clinical database to identify clinical features predicting a poor renal outcome, defined as azotemia, renal failure or death...

..We compared the outcomes of ureteroscopy with vs without a ureteral access sheath in children...

..However, RN is more frequently used in children. We sought to compare in-hospital outcomes after NSS and RN for malignant pediatric renal tumors...

..We sought to determine whether currently available Internet based calculators for vesicoureteral reflux resolution produce systematically different results...

..We sought to determine whether controversial urological topics are associated with decreased content quality or search characteristics...

..We reviewed our experience in the management of iatrogenic pediatric ureteral injuries, particularly with respect to initial versus delayed diagnoses...

..We present the results of a histological review of a series of distal ureteral excisions in patients undergoing ureteroneocystostomy after failed dextranomer/hyaluronic acid injection...

..The drawbacks to SN include the use of fluoroscopy and the need to reopen recent skin incisions during the second stage. This results in increased radiation exposure, poor cosmesis, and possible wound infection...

..We hypothesize that this finding may be true for Wilms tumor...

..Dx/HA copolymer was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2001 for the treatment of VUR in children. Published results have varied widely, prompting us to report our single center experience with 300 consecutive patients...

..We reviewed the clinical findings associated with these embryological structures and evaluated risk factors for cancer to define the optimal timing for intervention...

..Despite a relative lack of comparative data, multiple studies have attempted to define the most important prognostic factors for injection success. This article is an attempt to summarize these findings...

..We investigated the association of urolithiasis with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity among children with and without urolithiasis...

..Multiple studies show that ketorolac markedly reduces postoperative pain after UR, but there is no information on whether ketorolac is routinely used...

..The mechanisms behind this finding are unclear, since there is no known racial variation in the natural history of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. We used a detailed clinical database to explain this phenomenon...

..Concerns regarding an increased risk of malignancy have prompted many centers to consider routine postoperative screening. We examine the potential cost-effectiveness of such screening...

..We report long-term followup on 22 pediatric patients treated with this technique...

..The impact of diagnostic genitourinary imaging on patients and families is poorly understood. We measured patient and family reaction to commonly performed genitourinary imaging studies using a standardized measurement tool...

..Few data have been reported regarding radiation exposure during pediatric endourological procedures, including ureteroscopy. We measured radiation exposure during pediatric ureteroscopy and identify opportunities for exposure reduction...

..We sought to examine trends in surgical timing and to determine what factors are associated with age at surgery...

....

..Tunneled tunica vaginalis flap repair should be considered for treating urethrocutaneous fistula following initial failed tubularized incised plate hypospadias surgery, particularly in a repeat surgical setting...

..The factors determining procedure choice at individual centers are unclear. We sought to identify patient and hospital factors associated with the choice between shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy...

..Few population-based epidemiology or mortality data are available...

..aureus is becoming a more common cause of bacteriuria and to determine if there are specific risk factors that may predict the development of methicillin resistant S. aureus bacteriuria...

..A prospective, double-blind, 3-arm, parallel group, randomized clinical trial was performed to compare 3 anesthetic techniques for preventing pain during prostate biopsy...

..It is unclear whether immediate repair of these injuries decreases long-term complications, such as urinary incontinence. We report our long-term results with immediate operative repair of these injuries...
