Simultaneous Renal Transplantation With Bilateral Nephrectomy and Ureterocystoplasty.

Bladder augmentation (BA) may be required before renal transplantation in children with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Herein we report a case of a 7-year-old boy with ESRD, contracted bladder and severe bilateral reflux secondary to posterior urethral valve (PUV), successfully managed by simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy, bilateral ureterocystoplasty and renal transplantation.

Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Pediatric Stone Disease: A 15-Year Single-Center Experience with 2 Types of Lithotripters.

Introduction And Objectives: We report our experience with pediatric shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) using two types of lithotripters: Dornier HM3 (HM3) and Dornier Lithotripter SII (DLS).

Study Design: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of children who underwent SWL between 2002 and 2016. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of the lithotripter: during 2002-2009, we used the electrohydraulic HM3 lithotripter which was replaced in 2009 with the DLS electromagnetic lithotripter.

Long-term Results of Ventral Penile Curvature Repair in Childhood.

Objective: To assess the postpubertal outcome of ventral penile curvature repaired in infancy in terms of recurrence and aesthetics.

Materials And Methods: Postpubertal patients treated for hypospadias and ventral penile curvature in infancy at a tertiary medical center were invited to undergo assessment of the quality of the repair. Findings were compared between patients with a straight penis after skin release and patients who required dorsal plication.

Pyogenic Granuloma: Possible Cause for Macroscopic Hematuria in Children.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign, vascular tumor that is rarely reported in the urinary tract of pediatric population. Herein we present a case of a child followed up for recurrent painless macroscopic hematuria. We performed ureteroscopy, and a whitish lesion was discovered in the upper calyx of the right kidney.
