Article Synopsis
- The majority of children diagnosed with hydronephrosis do not require surgery, as their condition often improves on its own, and slow drainage seen in imaging may not indicate true obstruction.
- Identifying kidneys at risk of losing function in asymptomatic patients is a key research focus, and DMSA scans can help assess kidney function before and after revascularization procedures for renovascular hypertension.
- Functional imaging techniques, like DMSA and PET scans, are being increasingly utilized to evaluate congenital renal anomalies and certain malignancies, showing promising sensitivity for detecting various conditions compared to traditional methods.
Objective: To document the imaging follow-up of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in children and to investigate the natural history of cystic lesions following LPN.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the ultrasonography (US) imaging reports performed during the follow-up of 125 children (77 girls, 48 boys; mean age 3.2 years) who underwent LPN in two centres of paediatric surgery in the period 2005-2015.
Objective: To assess the frequency and severity of cardiac dysrhythmias and identify any intraoperative or postoperative complications in children undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Methods: All children coming to our institution for ESWL from June 2014 to January 2015 were prospectively enrolled in an observational cohort study. Intraoperative cardiac dysrhythmias and perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded.
