Article Synopsis
- Posterior hypospadias is a serious congenital condition that significantly impacts patients' lifelong quality of life and presents ongoing surgical challenges, leading to complications through adulthood.
- A network meeting in Utrecht aimed to identify gaps in the lifelong treatment approach for these patients, focusing on improving care, quality of life, and awareness.
- Critical recommendations include enhancing patient involvement in treatment decisions, standardizing data collection at a European level, and fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and patients to explore innovative solutions like tissue engineering.
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) occurs frequently in girls and may display a spinning top urethra (STU) on voiding cysto-urethrogram (VCUG) in case of dysfunctional voiding. A STU presents as a narrowing of the urethra caused by a lack of relaxation of the pelvic floor musculature during micturition and may vary in length between the proximal and the distal urethra. Although a STU has been recognized since 1960 as a pathological entity on VCUG, no reports exist on the different levels of engagement of the pelvic floor muscles to the urethra as expressed by the varying length of the phenomenon.

Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected data of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) performed between 2006 and 2015 were analyzed. Inclusion criteria are (1) toilet-trained child and (2) unilateral dismembered pyeloplasty stented with a JJC done by the same surgeon.
