Tips and tricks for the extravesical robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation for pediatric vesicoureteral reflux.

Over the past few years, robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) has gained popularity as an acceptable alternative for the traditional open approach if surgery is elected for children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). We present our technique including the tips and tricks for both male and female patients, including a stepwise approach for ureteral identification in female patients depending on the level of technical difficulty. Our series include 30 patients who represent a spectrum in which we presented the different tips and tricks included in this video.

Double versus single diaper technique after hypospadias repair, does it really matter?

Introduction: Double-diaper technique with an open-drainage catheter is a common practice after hypospadias repair. However, double-diapering may increase the burden of postoperative care and has not been compared to single-diapering with an open-drainage catheter.

Objectives: This study investigates whether the single-diaper technique is associated with inferior surgical outcomes compared to the double-diaper technique.

Pediatric renal trauma at a level 1 trauma center in a rural state: A 10-year institutional review and protocol implementation.

Introduction: Unintentional injury is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children. There is no consensus on the ideal, discrete management of pediatric renal trauma (PRT). Therefore, management protocols tend to be institution-specific.
