Introduction: The Mirabegron-anticholinergic (MAC) combination has proven effective as a step-up strategy in managing paediatric neurogenic bladder following anticholinergic medication and botulinum toxin (BTX) therapy. This study assesses the long-term efficacy of MAC in children with neurogenic bladder.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted from 2015 to 2023, including consecutive paediatric patients receiving Mirabegron (25/50 mg) with an anticholinergic agent (solifenacin 16, tolterodine 7, oxybutynin 7, trospium 1).
Introduction: Previously in our unit, urodynamics were delayed after insertion of suprapubic (SP) lines. We postulated that performing urodynamics on the same day as SP line insertion would not result in increased morbidity. We retrospectively compared complications in those having urodynamics on the same day against those who had delayed urodynamics.

- The study examines the complications in patients undergoing single-stage hypospadias repair (HR) and compares outcomes between those who had circumcision and those who had foreskin reconstruction (FR). !* -
- A total of 284 patients were analyzed, with findings showing no significant differences in complication rates between the circumcision group (20%) and the FR group (17%), as well as similar rates of reoperation for both. !* -
- The conclusion indicates that FR does not result in higher complications or reoperation needs, suggesting that parents can choose between circumcision and FR based on personal preference. !*
Aims: Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a chronic condition associated with long-term morbidity. We assessed the short and long-term functional outcomes of operated patients in a single institution over a 12-year period.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all children operated for HD between 2002 and 2014.
