Introduction: OnabotulinumtoxinA is used as treatment for refractory idiopathic and neurogenic detrusor overactivity in children. Many patients perform intermittent self-catheterization and therefore have higher rates of asymptomatic bacteriuria, which may increase their risk of symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) following treatment. Multiple injections are often needed due to the short-term efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment, which may also increase the risk of UTI.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric kidney transplantation patients who presented with ureteral stricture and underwent percutaneous antegrade ureteroplasty at our institution from July 2009 to July 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Robotic partial nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgery aimed at preserving kidney function, but its use in children has been slow due to technical challenges in smaller anatomical spaces.
- A video demonstrates a specific technique for performing a robotic right-sided partial nephrectomy on a 14-month-old boy, covering important steps like positioning and tumor removal.
- From January 2019 to January 2021, six pediatric patients underwent this procedure, showing both benign and malignant tumors, highlighting the need for experienced collaboration with adult urologists to manage potential complications.
