Introduction: The association between posterior urethral valves (PUVs) and hypospadias has previously been reported in case reports. After the identification of this twin pathology in a number of patients, a national retrospective review of all patients with this dual diagnosis was performed.
Patients And Methods: All patients were identified in each centre from surgical databases of prospectively collated information on all surgical procedures.
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of open (OPN) and prone retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy (PRPN) in children.
Materials And Methods: The medical and radiological records of all children undergoing OPN and PRPN over a 6-year period (2002-2008) were reviewed.
Results: Thirty-nine (11 boys/28 girls) partial nephrectomies were performed in a single institution.
