Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective study analyzed 94 pediatric patients with UPJO, comparing the outcomes of LP and RALP, revealing that RALP had a shorter operative time while both procedures had similar hospitalization durations and no intraoperative complications.
- * Throughout the follow-up period, both surgical techniques demonstrated equal effectiveness and safety, with no recurrence of UPJ obstruction or significant postoperative complications observed in any patients.
Article Synopsis
- People who get solid organ transplants often have problems with erectile dysfunction, which can be affected by their other health issues and problems with their organ.
- This study looked at how safe it is to use penile prostheses in these patients and found that about 11% of them had complications, mostly infections and device failures.
- Even though there are some risks, doctors can feel more confident about using these prostheses in transplant recipients since the study showed similar reoperation rates compared to non-transplanted patients.
Background: Current potential living kidney donor's assessment includes functional and anatomical evaluation. Scintigraphy is recommended in some cases and some centers include this test in the donor's protocol. Recent studies advocate for the avoidance of this test as CT or MRI volumetry showed to accurately assess donor's renal function.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) is gaining popularity and high success rates have been reported.
Objective: In this multi-institutional study, we aimed to compare the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of OUR and RALUR for high-grade (IV + V) VUR in children.
Objective: To evaluate strategies that are followed after pediatric renal trauma during the recovery stage, with an emphasis on mobility and involvement in subsequent sporting activities. Renal trauma is the most common urogenital trauma in children. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) scale is most commonly used to stratify the severity of injury.

Data on the outcome after SSCU surgery is heterogeneous and lacking standardization. Thus we aimed to find a reliable system for assessment of the bladder function before and after SSCU surgery and document postoperative outcome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: To assess the long-term effect of bladder augmentation surgery in patients with spina bifida and to identify risk factors for severe bladder dysfunction requiring bladder augmentation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 178 patients with spina bifida, 23 of them underwent bladder augmentation. Surgery outcome was evaluated according to urodynamic assessments at three follow-up time points per patient up to 120 months postoperatively.
Pregnancy control in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus/Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Part 3: Childbirth. Puerperium. Breastfeeding Contraception. Newborn.

Objective: In order to agree on the fundamental aspects related to the management of pregnancy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome, the Spanish Societies of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Internal Medicine and Rheumatology have set up a working group for the preparation of three consensus documents.
Methods: Each of the Scientific Societies involved proposed five representatives based on their experience in the field of pregnancy control in patients with autoimmune diseases. The recommendations were developed following the Delphi methodology.
Objective: In order to agree on the fundamental aspects related to the management of pregnancy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the Spanish Societies of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Internal Medicine and Rheumatology set up a working group for the preparation of three consensus documents.
Methods: Each of the Scientific Societies involved proposed five representatives based on their experience in the field of pregnancy control in patients with autoimmune diseases. The recommendations were developed following the Delphi methodology.
Objective: Physical restraints are associated with severe side effects and suffering. A comprehensive, person-centered, methodology was implemented in 41 Spanish nursing homes to safely eliminate restraints.
Methods: Data were collected in 2 waves: September 2011 (at the beginning of the intervention, n = 4361) and September 2014 (n = 5051).
