Article Synopsis
- * A case was reported of a 9-year-old boy who experienced two episodes of this symptom a year apart, both resolving on their own after two days.
- * Diagnosis was confirmed through imaging and a tissue sample taken during a procedure, and after three years of monitoring, there were no signs of the tumor returning; however, management guidelines for this condition in children are lacking.
Purpose: To report our experience of open ureteroneocystostomy after failed endoscopic treatment.
Material And Methods: Clinical charts of 787 children who entered our dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (DxHA) endoscopic injection program for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) treatment between May 2000 and December 2009 were reviewed. Fifty-one of these patients were submitted to open ureteroneocystostomy for complete resolution of VUR.
Background: Open dismembered pyeloplasty remains the preferred surgical technique for ureteropelvic junction syndrome (UPJS) in most paediatric urology units. The authors present their experience of 230 patients and describe their form of presentation, treatment and early and long-term results.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical records of 230 patients submitted to dismembered pyeloplasty in an 8-year period, from 1999 until 2007.
Introduction And Aim: In Portugal, there is very few experience in pediatric retroperitoneoscopy. The authors present the first Portuguese series of retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomies (RLN) in children younger than nine years-old, as well as a literature review about the theme.
Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical charts of all children submitted to RLN between January 2009 and December 2009 in a Pediatric Surgery Department.
Background: Treatment of varicocoele is aimed at eliminating the retrograde reflux of venous blood through the internal spermatic veins. The purpose of this investigation was to compare laparoscopic varicocoelectomy (LV) with open high ligation technique in the adolescent population.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 33 adolescents who underwent varicocoelectomy at our paediatric hospital, between May 2004 and September 2008.
Objective. To describe a simplified technique already used in our institution for several years in the open heminephrectomy for duplication anomalies, now performed through a retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach. Methods.

Over the years, the treatment has been the subject of many meetings, many research studies, and continues being a topic under discussion. The number of candidates for surgical treatment increased with the development of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques by subureteral injection of bulking agents.

Methods: Goldenhar syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia) is a condition featuring the following triad of anomalies: ocular abnormalities (epibulbar dermoids, coloboma), otic anomalies (low set ears, auricular appendage) and/or vertebral anomalies. Multiple malformations, including congenital heart, brain and renal disease.
