Introduction: Childhood chronic diseases affect family functioning and well-being. The aim of this study was to measure the impact of caring for a child with PUV, and the factors that most impact the burden of care.
Patients And Method: We gave a questionnaire on the familial impact of having a child with posterior urethral valves to all parents of a child included in the CIRCUP trial from 2015 onwards.
Objective: Boys with posterior urethral valves (PUV) present an increased risk of febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI). Identifying specific risk factors could allow for tailoring UTI prevention. The aim of this study was to use the data from the CIRCUP randomized controlled trial data to identify patient characteristics associated with a higher risk of fUTI.

- - The study assessed long-term functional outcomes of children aged 6-30 who had surgery for anorectal malformations (ARMs) in various expert centers in France.
- - Findings from 367 patients indicated a significant correlation between the rectal pouch position and issues like voluntary bowel movements and soiling, as well as an increased risk of constipation linked to certain anatomical factors and surgical approaches.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of ongoing follow-up for these patients to address their specific needs and improve their functional outcomes over time.
Background: Boys with posterior urethral valves (PUVs) have an increased risk of febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs). Circumcision is believed to reduce the risk of fUTIs in boys, although there are no randomized trials demonstrating this.
Objective: To determine the effect of circumcision on the risk of fUTIs in boys with PUVs.
Background: The technique of « en bloc» liver and small bowel transplantation (L-BT) spares a biliary anastomosis, but does not protect against biliary complications. We analyze biliary and duodenal complications (BDC) in our pediatric series.
Methods: Between 1994 and 2020, 54 L-BT were performed in 53 children.
