Objectives: Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of repeated high-dose intradetrusor abobotulinumtoxin A (Dysport®) injections for the treatment of pediatric neurogenic bladders refractory to medications.
Design: Retrospective interventional study.
Participants: The cohort included 37 children (22 boys and 15 girls) of median age 9.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of urethral catheterization on the accuracy of EMG uroflowmetry in children with non-neurogenic voiding disorders during pressure-flow (PF) studies compared to the non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry test.
Methods: A retrospective study of children undergoing a urodynamic evaluation at our institution between 8/2018 and 7/2022 was employed. Urination curves and pelvic floor muscle activity were compared between PF studies and non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry test.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric urolithiasis is rare and usually linked to specific anatomical or metabolic issues, with this study examining emergency department (ED) admissions for renal colic among children and its potential relationship with climate.
- A retrospective analysis of ED visits from 2010 to 2020 found a total of 609 admissions, showing a general decline over the years, with peaks in 2012 and 2018.
- The research concluded that, unlike adults, seasonal variations and climate changes did not influence renal colic admissions in children, indicating different factors may be at play in this younger demographic.
Objective: To present our technique using the harmonic scalpel for scrotal, extensive hydrocelectomy in adolescents and its advantages, compared with the historical techniques. Scrotal hydrocelectomy is an old-timer procedure in-which the Lord plication, the Jaboulay and the bottleneck techniques are the standard of care, up to date. A cumbersome, unpleasant scrotal dressing is commonly used to try to mitigate postoperative edema and hematoma.
