Research Question: What is the experience and mid- and long-term andrological health follow-up of (pre)pubertal males who have undergone testicular tissue freezing (TTF)?
Design: This single-centre longitudinal retrospective cohort study reports on the mid- and long-term andrological health follow-up of (pre)pubertal males and young adults who underwent TTF for fertility preservation between January 2007 and December 2018. Medical characteristics and questionnaire data collected more than 18 months after TTF were analysed.
Results: Thirty-six patients were revisited during a medical follow-up consultation.
Introduction: The aim was to compare the efficacy of polyacrylate polyalcohol copolymer (PPC) injections and dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Dx/Ha) injections for the endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in children.
Material: This retrospective cohort study included 189 young patients who had endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux from January 2012 to December 2019 in our center. Among them, 101 had PCC injections and 88 had Dx/Ha injections.
