Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the outcomes of detrusorectomy in children with neurogenic bladder (NB).
Materials And Methods: A search was performed in PUBMED, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library database in August 2023. The following search terms were used: "detrusorectomy", "detrusorotomy", "auto-augmentation".
Purpose: Since bladder neck dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux) injections can improve urinary incontinence of various etiologies, we hypothesized that incontinent children with bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex would benefit from dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer. We aimed to analyze dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer efficacy and predictors of treatment success in bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.
Materials And Methods: Incontinent bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex children aged >4 years undergoing dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer injections in our hospital between October 1997 and January 2021 were included.
Background: Symptomatic parapelvic cysts (PPC) are rare entities. Our objective is to highlight specific features of PPC to avoid a misdiagnosis of UPJ obstruction.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of children managed between 2012-2017.
Cystinuria is a genetic disorder characterized by a defective reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids leading to development of urinary tract calculi from childhood onward. Cystine lithiasis is known to be resistant to fragmentation. The aim was to evaluate our long-term experience with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) used as first-line urological treatment to treat cystine stones in children.

Results of endoscopic injections of bulking agents in the bladder neck are promising but it remains unclear whether they should be performed an antegrade or retrograde fashion.
Objective: Our aim was to compare the antegrade and retrograde endoscopic injection techniques for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
Purpose: This retrospective study was designed to assess the impact of shock wave lithotripsy on the pediatric kidney using pretreatment and posttreatment (99m)technetium dimercapto-succinic acid renal scintigram.
Materials And Methods: A total of 182 patients 5 months to 19.8 years old (mean 5.
Objectives: To report our experience with the management of encrusted cystitis and pyelitis (EC and EP) in the pediatric population. EC and EP are well-known entities in adults but are rarely identified in children. They consist of mucosal encrustations and are due to specific microorganisms.
