Background: The esophageal stricture is an important clinical problem in children, and the treatment is difficult.
Objective: To evaluate the results of fluoroscopy-guided balloon dilatation of benign pediatric esophageal strictures and to suggest a safety range for balloon diameters.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children who underwent fluoroscopy-guided esophageal balloon dilatation for treatment of benign esophageal stricture from February 2008 to July 2019.
Background: Although there are many studies on percutaneous nephrostomy in urinary obstruction management in pediatric patients, there is a limited number of studies on percutaneous antegrade ureteral stenting (PAUS) on this issue.
Purpose: To evaluate the results of fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous antegrade approach for ureteral stent placement through the nephrostomy route in children.
Material And Methods: Between October 2005 and June 2019, the medical records of children who underwent PAUS through the nephrostomy route were reviewed retrospectively.
