..We sought to determine the incidence of contralateral hernias in children with an intra-abdominal testis and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of performing concurrent laparoscopic orchiopexy and herniorrhaphy...

..Biofeedback has been shown to be very effective in children to correct incontinence secondary to dysfunctional voiding, as well as in treating giggle incontinence and to help resolve vesicoureteral reflux...

..This article provides the radiographic findings associated with the most common pediatric urologic problems and some less common anomalies. The focus will be on ultrasound, VCUG,and nuclear studies with CT and MRI discussed as pertinent...

..This practice emanates largely from the difficulty on ultrasound of distinguishing salvageable torsed testes from those that are not salvageable. We identified ultrasound findings predictive of testicular viability or the lack thereof...

..We examined the effects of tamsulosin, a uroselective alpha1A-adrenergic antagonist, on blood pressure, as well as its safety and efficacy in the treatment of dysfunctional voiding in a pediatric population...

..Proper selection of patients based on age and anatomic considerations as well as proper sterile surgical technique are critical to prevent future circumcision-related adverse events...

..Standard practice for meatoplasty includes the use of sutures to evert the mucosa. We present a novel technique that is equivalent to standard meatoplasty without the need for suturing...

..In this paper, we propose to define these entities and provide their descriptions and then to describe their management including surgical correction...

..We sought to determine if post-injection intraoperative cystography can be useful in improving the success rate of injection and replacing the need for the 3 to 4-month postoperative voiding cystourethrogram...

..We present what is to our knowledge the largest series of familial torsion, including the first 3 generation case and a review of the literature...

..We reviewed a large series of such cases and stratified neonatal torsion based on time of presentation to determine the potential for testicular salvage. To our knowledge this is the largest series of its kind in the literature...

..To standardize the history and physical examination of boys who present with acute scrotum and identify parameters that best predict testicular torsion...

..The success and complication rates are excellent in the short term. Longer term complications, such as strictures and diverticula, need to be assessed in the future...

..We compared the results of bladder neck injection using Deflux and Teflon to manage urinary incontinence in children...

..We aim to investigate angiographic findings during embolization of primary varicoceles vs those with failed surgical ligation...

..The normal renal growth rate in children age 1 to 18 years with 2 kidneys has been defined as 0.28 × age (years) + 6.1. Solitary kidneys appear to grow faster and larger and, thus, require a separate growth curve...

..Currently the recommendation for managing testicular rupture is surgical exploration and débridement or orchiectomy. We report outcomes in boys diagnosed with testicular rupture and treated without surgical intervention...

..The laparoscopic management of these cysts in young girls has been slow to gain popularity despite the well-known advantages of this surgical approach for other abdominal and pelvic pathologic findings...

..We assessed the feasibility and safety of performing single setting bilateral laparoscopic orchiopexy in boys with bilateral intra-abdominal testes...

..We sought to assess urinary flow better following meatoplasty using voiding uroflowmetry to measure objectively response to treatment...

..We sought to determine whether lymphatic-sparing laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LSLV) could provide similar negligible recurrence rates as the Palomo approach with the negligible postoperative hydrocele rate seen with MV...

....

..Although substantial long-term data are lacking, adult patients with micropenis appear to report dissatisfaction with penile appearance, but the majority appear to have adequate sexual function...

....

..We hypothesize that ultrasonography alone is sufficient to detect solitary kidneys and that confirmatory renal scintigraphy is unnecessary...

..ADHD is diagnosed in 3-5% of children. These children have a greater incidence of VD than non-ADHD controls, and it is less amenable to treatment...

..External detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia should be screened for in children when surgery or discontinuation of chemoprophylaxis is considered so that biofeedback can be started...

..We postulated that improving sphincter tone and muscle recruitment using biofeedback techniques might be helpful in children with giggle incontinence...

..We determined whether such a relationship exists between appropriate Double-J stent length and the age of the child...

..We correlated urodynamic findings with voiding patterns to better understand and manage voiding dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy...

..However, open approaches to various procedures using a mini-incision should assume the same appellation. We report our experience with extravesical ureteral reimplant (EVR) performed through an inguinal mini-incision...

..We compared the efficacy of biofeedback with and without animation in treating dysfunctional voiding, and its concomitant urinary symptoms...

..The procedure was straightforward with good results and without complications in this initial experience...

..Otherwise, this regimen may release the closing cicatrix and allow for simple incision of the constricting phimotic ring, thus reducing the need for formal surgical repair...

..Lipoblastoma of the scrotum is a rare clinical entity in children. It represents one of several differential diagnoses of scrotal masses that include malignant tumors. Surgical extirpation is mandatory. We present a rare case...

..Venous malformations may occur anywhere in the body but are rare in the genitourinary tract and external genitalia. The authors report a case of a venous malformation in the glans penis and discuss the controversy over optimal management...

..We sought to determine if environmental factors impact the incidence of testicular torsion in our temperate climate conditions with a large differential between the warmest and coldest temperatures...

..Most complications can be avoided with surgeon and team experience, together with proper compliance with the indications for surgery...
