Clinical utility of the maximum area of detrusor tracing measurement in the urodynamic studies in pediatric population diagnosed with neuropathic bladder: A pilot study.

Introduction: Neuropathic bladder (NB) is a lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) that may lead to kidney failure. Urodynamic study is the gold standard for its diagnosis and follow-up. A classic prognostic parameter to predict the risk of upper urinary tract damage (UUTD) is the detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) ≥  40 cmH2O, although this factor alone may lack prognostic value.

[Evaluation of redundancy of tests in acute appendicitis].

Aim: Evaluation of the redundancy of abdominal ultrasound tests in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in a third level hospital.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of patients treated for suspected acute appendicitis in 2011 at our center. The variables of the study were: age, origin of the patient, blood count, number of ultrasounds performed, surgery and final diagnosis based on surgical findings.

[Complications in the conservative managemennt of splenic rupture].

Introduction: Management of splenic rupture in haemodynamically stable children is non-surgical treatment. However, complications can occur during follow-up. Objective: to study the frequency, evolution and treatment of complications of conservative treatment of splenic rupture.

[Prophylactic thyroidectomy in RET proto-oncogen mutation].

Objective: Analysis of prophylactic thyroidectomy cases carried out in our Center in patients with RET gene mutations.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 25 patients with RET proto-oncogene mutations subjected to prophylactic thyroidectomy between January 2000 and January 2016. Epidemiologic variables, surgical technique, histological results and follow-up were studied.

[Laparoscopic adrenalectomy: advantages of the minimally invasive approach].

Aim: To describe our experience as a tertiary center on the use of laparoscopic adrenal surgery in children.

Material And Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study of patients with pathologic adrenal masses undergoing laparoscopic adrenal surgery, between 2012 and 2015. Epidemiological variables, surgical technique, complications and follow-up were studied.

[Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatric Oncology. Tertiary center experience].

Aims: To describe our experience using Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques in tertiary center with specific oncological pediatric surgery unit.

Methods: Retrospective review of patients undergoing MIS techniques in pediatric oncology surgery unit between January 2011 and December 2014. MIS procedures were considered made by both techniques such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy with both diagnostic and therapeutic intent.

[Thoracoscopic resection of lung metastases guided by hook wire].

Objective: To describe our experience in the use of the guided hook wire placement to undergo thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary metastases in children.

Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review, between January 2008 and December 2014 of the patients that were diagnosed with pulmonary metastases by image and who underwent a thoracoscopic metastasectomy. Patients in whom a CT- guided hook was done before the surgery were included.

[Intestinal volvulus due to yeyunal duplication].

Duplications of the alimentary tract are congenital malformations. The ileum is the most commonly affected organ. A lot of duplications are incidentally diagnosed but most of patients present a combination of pain or complications such as obstructive symptoms, intestinal intussusception, perforation or volvulus.
