The management of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in child suffered major changes by focusing on the medical treatment in order to prevent the urinary tract infections and the occurrence of postinfectious renal scars. Continuous antibiotic prophylaxis and the follow-up by serial cystography of the spontaneous resolution of the reflux are considered nowadays the best choice in most of the ca...

A 9-year-old girl with grade 4-5 right vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) into a solitary collecting system was initially treated with endoscopic Deflux injection. Micturition cystourethrogram (MCUG) performed after 6 months showed a grade 1-2 reflux. After 3 years, MCUG repeated due to recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), showed severe VUR. DMSA renal scan showed a non-functioning right kidney. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ureteroscopy is nowadays one of the techniques most widely used for upper urinary- tract pathology. Our goal is to describe its complications in a large series of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between June 1994 and February 2005, 2436 patients aged 5 to 87 years underwent retrograde ureteroscopy (2735 procedures) under video and fluoroscopic assistance. We used semirig...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015209441 DESCRIPTION An 8-year-old boy presented with a history of open nephrectomy 1 year prior for non-functioning right kidney with recurrent febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) with bilateral vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) (right grade V and left grade IV). One month after s...

Objective-comparative evaluation of different surgical methods of vesicoureteral reflux induction in rabbits.Design- Elective experimental study.Animals- sixteen healthy male rabbits.Procedures- sixteen healthy NewZiland White male rabbits were randomly divided in four equal groups. All rabbits were preoperatively evaluated with retrograde cystography for the presence or absence of congenital o...

an eleven-day boy neonate with a fetal anamnesis of grade 1 bilateral hydronephrosis according to the grading of the society for fetal urology (sfu), came to our attention for an acute osteoarthritis secondary to urosepsis. in the urological follow-up, a severe bilateral vesico-ureteral reflux (vur) was diagnosed. an early post-natal, reno-vesicle ultrasound evaluation could have changed the cl...

background renal scintigraphy with technetium 99m labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mtc-dmsa) is a traditional imaging technique commonly used to detect renal scar in patients with probable vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and/or urinary tract infection (utis). we determined whether normal results of dmsa renal scan obviate the need for voiding cystourethrography (vcug) in evaluating children with ...

conclusion our findings showed an increased frequency of vur in patients with bjhms. we suggest that infants and children with bjhms should be screened for vur. results vur was observed in 60% of patients with bjhms. however, sonography was normal in 66.7% of patients. the most common grading of reflux was grade ii of vur (37.5%). seventy percent of patients with bjhms and neurogenic bladder ha...

Purpose: To present our experience of laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation using intracorporeal ureteral tapering for management of distal ureteral stricture. Materials and Methods: Between April 2005 and October 2008, six patients, including 3 children and 3 adults, underwent laparoscopic modified Lich-Gregoir type extravesical ureteral reimplantation for distal ureteral stricture.
