Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of endoscopic injections versus ureteral reimplantation for treating vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children with grades III, IV, and V, using data from 400 patients over a follow-up period of at least 5 years.
- In Group A (endoscopic injections), patients experienced shorter surgery times, less need for pain relief, shorter hospital stays, and lower costs, but faced higher rates of post-procedure complications and redo surgeries compared to Group B (surgery).
- Overall, while endoscopic treatment is quicker and cheaper with certain advantages, the surgical approach has a lower recurrence rate, suggesting potential long-term benefits for children.
Introduction: In children, the association of ipsilateral pyeloureteral junction obstruction (PUJO) and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) is a rare malformation with a non-standardized treatment. We report a case of PUJO and UVJO treated by a combined minimally invasive surgical treatment to resolve the double urinary obstruction. The current literature was also reviewed.

Traditionally, multicompartmental models have been used for bone marrow dosimetry, necessitating whole-body absorbed-dose assessments. However, noninvasive techniques, such as γ-camera scans or ceiling-mounted Geiger-Müller (GM) counters, can estimate the aforementioned.

- Robotic surgery has been beneficial for adults but is still developing in pediatrics, with growing interest particularly in urology.
- This study reviewed the experience of a pediatric institution using the Da Vinci System from 2016 to 2021, including data from 76 patients undergoing both general abdominal and genitourinary robotic surgeries.
- Results showed a mean surgery time of about 224 minutes, low complication and conversion rates, and highlighted the potential for robotic surgery to improve pediatric surgical outcomes while reducing tissue trauma.
