Clinical and urodynamics outcomes in pediatric primary bladder diverticula: a comparative study.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of bladder diverticula smaller than 30 (SD) mm and larger than 30 mm (LD) on bladder functions and urodynamics.

Materials And Methods: Our retrospective analysis involved a cohort of 40 pediatric patients diagnosed with primary bladder diverticula.

Results: The predicted mean bladder capacity (MBC) was 197.

Giant Infantile Hepatic Hemangioma: Case Report and Surgical Technique.

Infantile hepatic hemangioma is the most common liver tumor in children. The most common symptoms are mass in her stomach, anemia and heart failure. According to the findings of the patient, the treatment may vary from the clinical follow-up to liver transplantation.

The Effect of Technical Problems on the Operation Process in Pediatric Laparoscopy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the technical problems in pediatric laparoscopic surgery and to evaluate its results.

Methods: The technical problems encountered in 30 laparoscopic operations performed between 3 November 2012 and 31 December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The technical problems experienced in 30 laparoscopic surgeries were analyzed.

Penetrating injury caused by a long iron bar: A case report.

Foreign bodies that strike the body with their long edges can cause severe problems. From the hospitalization of the patients to the removal of the foreign body and from surgery to follow-up, working as a team in a well-organized manner is necessary. In the present research, we present our experience, including the hospitalization, initial assessment by the emergency team, examination, and treatment plan, of a pediatric patient who had a 12-m long iron bar that traversed from the right side of the anus to the loin; this impalement happened while the patient was sliding through a snow-covered street, and the patient had to wait on the snow until the fire department arrived and cut the iron bar.

Increasing the Reliability of the Grading System for Voiding Cystourethrograms Using Ultrasonography: An Inter-Rater Comparison.

Background: To assess the effectiveness of the current vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) grading system according to the international classification of VUR (ICVUR) and to evaluate whether VUR grading accuracy could be improved by renal ultrasonography (RU) according to the Society for Fetal Urology (SFU) grading system.

Objectives: Therefore, this study assessed the accuracy of the current VCUG staging system by assessing inter-rater reliability among pediatric radiologists and urologists; it also evaluated whether accuracy is increased by RU without consensus (with respect to VCUG grading).

Methods: Four pediatric urologists and four pediatric radiologists independently graded 120 voiding cystourethrograms (VCUGs).

Unusual Presentation of Duplex Kidneys: Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

. Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is rarely associated with a duplex collecting system. We review this unusual anomaly in terms of presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and surgical management.
