Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses how not urinating regularly due to self-restraint at school can lead to voiding disorders, particularly among elementary school students (1st to 5th grade).
  • An observational study was conducted during the 2017-2018 school year with 2119 parent questionnaires analyzed, revealing that 9% of students experienced urinary elimination disorders, with girls being disproportionately affected.
  • Major barriers to using school toilets included hygiene concerns, lack of privacy, and limited accessibility, highlighting social inequalities in toilet access among students, especially in working-class families.

Unlabelled: Not urinating regularly, voluntarily restraining oneself at school promotes the occurrence of voiding disorders.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of such disorders in elementary schools (students from 1st to 5th grade) and analyze the role of access to school toilets on voiding habits.

Method: Observational, descriptive epidemiological study during the 2017-2018 school year by electronic questionnaire with parents of pupils attending elementary school.

Introduction:  To evaluate medium-term results of the management of patients with pyeloureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) secondary to lower pole vessels managed by a laparoscopic vascular hitch technique.

Materials And Methods:  We performed a retrospective monocentric study of all patients who were operated using this technique, transperitoneal laparoscopy (TL) or robotic surgery (RS), from 2011 to 2018. Description of the initial population, pre- and postoperative data was collected and analyzed.

Purpose: We report the natural history and prognosis of tumors after augmentation enterocystoplasty, with a molecular analysis using an oncogene panel to search for potential targeted therapies.

Materials And Methods: This multicenter, nationwide, retrospective study included 16 patients. A panel of 21 clinically relevant oncogenes was tested on archival tumor specimens using next-generation sequencing.

Objective: Endoscopic injection is an accepted alternative for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with the most commonly used agent being dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA). There are few reports on very long-term results after this treatment, although the biodegradable nature of the product could indicate that results might deteriorate on the long term. We, therefore, decided to evaluate the efficacy of Dx/HA copolymer endoscopic injection, in terms of recurrence of febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs) in children, with a follow-up of at least 10 years.

Unlabelled: Most of biomarker panels, extracted from single omics traits, still need improvement since they display a gray zone where prediction is uncertain. Here we verified whether a combination of omics traits, fetal urinary metabolites and peptides analyzed in the same sample, improved prediction of postnatal renal function in fetuses with posterior urethral valves (PUV) compared to individual omics traits. Using CE-MS, we explored the urinary metabolome of 13 PUV fetuses with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and 12 PUV fetuses without postnatal ESRD at 2 years postnatally.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin type A (IDBTX-A) in children with spina bifida.

Methods: All patients aged less than 16 years old who underwent IDBTX-A between 2002 and 2016 at 6 institutions were included in a retrospective study. Our primary endpoint was the success rate of IDBTX-A defined as both clinical improvement (no incontinence episodes between clean intermittent catheterizations [CICs], absence of urgency, and less than 8 CICs per day) and urodynamic improvement (resolution of detrusor overactivity and normal bladder compliance for age) lasting ≥12 weeks.

Unlabelled: To provide an adequate lifelong urological care in the complex period of adolescence, a transition consultation conducted by a paediatric surgeon and an urologist was developed in our institution. As a real rite of passage, it allows the follow-up and the adapted care of urological conditions, sometimes complex, and permits the transition between childhood and the world of grown-ups. We reported our experience at the Children Hospital of our institution (paediatric surgery and urology departments).

This research studied the effects of additional fiber in the rearing phase diets on egg production, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) traits, and body measurements of brown egg-laying hens fed diets varying in energy concentration from 17 to 46 wk of age. The experiment was completely randomized with 10 treatments arranged as a 5 × 2 factorial with 5 rearing phase diets and 2 laying phase diets. During the rearing phase, treatments consisted of a control diet based on cereals and soybean meal and 4 additional diets with a combination of 2 fiber sources (cereal straw and sugar beet pulp, SBP) at 2 levels (2 and 4%).

Ileocolic intussusception in infants and children requires emergency treatment and has a very good prognosis. Abdominal ultrasonography imaging has a high sensitivity and specificity in its detection. Management of ileocolic intussusceptions now requires fewer surgical procedures because interventional radiology is usually efficient.

Objectives: Investigate the feasibility and evaluate the accuracy of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (NC-MRA) using time-spin labelling inversion pulse (time-SLIP)to identify crossing renal vessels (CRVs) in children requiring surgical treatment of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstructionand compare to laparoscopic findings.

Materials And Methods: Nineteen children ranging from 6 to 16 years of age underwent NC-MRA using the time-SLIP technique before surgery. Two independent readers analysed the MRA images.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare congenital malformation, as well as kidney ectopia. Among kidney ectopias, the intrathoracic one is the rarest. Those malformations concern more frequently boys, and affected more the left than the right side.

Ectopic intrathoracic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly, usually asymptomatic. This anomaly is sometimes associated with a diaphragmatic hernia. Few cases of this combination have been described, often in the absence of a prenatal diagnosis.

Introduction: The classical management of urachal remants consists in surgical resection, in order to prevent infections and long term malignancies. However, some reports have recently spread a wait and see management. The aim of our study was to report the results of the surgical management in our center.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes and long-term sexual quality of life after hypospadias surgery. Seventeen-years-old patients operated for a posterior hypospadias in childhood were included in a transversal study.

Patients And Methods: Fifteen patients, among the forty children treated since 1997, accepted to participate.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and tolerability of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TENS) in patients under 15years of age with refractory overactive bladder.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on outcomes of TENS (1daily 20-minute session, 10Hz) in patients with refractory overactive bladder, excluding patients with neurogenic bladder. Treatment efficacy was evaluated on symptomatic improvement and voiding schedule.

Aim Of The Study: Lower pole vessels are a classical cause of PUJO even in children. The "gold standard" in the management of PUJ obstructions remains a dismembered pyeloplasty as described by Anderson and Hynes. However, some authors have developed an alternative procedure to this approach with encouraging results.

Background: Reconstruction of urethral strictures in children remains a challenge to the pediatric surgeon as these are often related to different rare congenital anomalies with various clinical presentations that endanger renal function and should be repaired in young children. Multiple techniques have been described for their repair. We aimed to determine whether the use of a free tubularised bladder mucosal graft associated to a prior tubeless vesicostomy was feasible and sure, as this technique of reconstruction using tubularised grafts has not been described yet in young children.

We report the case of a laparoscopic robot assisted left upper polar partial nephrectomy with total ureterectomy performed in a teenager. A 14 year-old girl was referred to our institution for stress urinary incontinence. The morphological assessment (ultrasound scan and uro-MRI) showed a double collecting system with a complete ureteral duplication complicated by a dysplasia of the upper moiety of the duplex left kidney and a mega ureter.
