Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined surgical technique for treating primary asymmetrical vesicoureteral reflux in children, comparing it to the standard method of bilateral cross-trigonal reimplantation.
- The research focused on surgical complications, post-operative urinary tract infections (fUTIs), and the need for further interventions over an 18-year period, involving 80 children who had experienced febrile UTIs.
- Results showed comparable success rates between the two surgical groups, but the combined technique had a significantly shorter hospital stay and reduced need for bladder catheters and ureteral stents.
Background: Robot-assisted pyeloplasty is the most frequently performed robotic procedure in children. A retroperitoneal approach limits surgical trauma and avoids peritoneal irritation. This led to the establishment of the criteria for day surgery (DS) and a related clinical care pathway.

Summary Background Data. RALS in pediatric surgery is expanding, but data on morbidity in children is limited.

We aimed to analyze dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer efficacy and predictors of treatment success in bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.
Materials And Methods: Incontinent bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex children aged >4 years undergoing dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer injections in our hospital between October 1997 and January 2021 were included.
Background: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) has been gaining acceptance among paediatric urologists.
Objective: To compare surgical variables and clinical outcomes, including complications and success rate, with RALP using the transperitoneal (T-RALP) and retroperitoneal (R-RALP) approaches.
Design Setting And Participants: We performed a multicentre, prospective, cohort study (NCT03274050) between November 2016 and October 2021 in three paediatric urology teaching centres (transperitoneal approach, = 2; retroperitoneal approach, = 1).
