Radiation-free monitoring in the long-term follow-up of pyeloplasty: Are ultrasound new parameters good enough to evaluate a successful procedure?

Introduction: Long-term evolution of residual hydronephrosis after successful pyeloplasty is not common. In this report, we have studied new ultrasound parameters, and have investigated the frequency of residual hydronephrosis. We highlight alternative radiation-free monitoring of pediatric pyeloplasties with ultrasound alone.

[Vesicovaginal Reflux and Urocolpos].

Objective: Vesico-vaginal reflux (VVR) is defined as the reflux of urine into the vaginal vault during voiding, occasionally seen in pre- adolescent girls. The typical history consists in post voiding leaks in the daytime, that correspond to the progressive urine discharge from the vagina, after it has been filled up during micturition. We intend to show two cases presenting with significant urocolpos.

Household exposure to pesticides and bladder exstrophy in a newborn baby boy: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Bladder exstrophy is a rare urogenital abnormality. Other urogenital malformations have been associated with exposure to hormonal pesticide disruptors during critical developmental periods. This is the first report in the literature to associate household exposure to pesticides with bladder exstrophy.
