Objective: After failure of medical and behavioral therapy in enuresis, the usual next step is to investigate using urodynamics. The aim of this study was to determine the actual benefit and optimal method of urodynamics in the treatment of refractory enuresis.
Methods: This prospective randomized study included 56 patients: 17 males and 39 females with an age range of 7-16 years.
Objective: To describe for the first time the technique of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for repair of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). LESS has recently been described as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy for the treatment of various urologic pathologic features.
Methods: The present study included 5 female patients with supratrigonal VVF who presented with urinary leakage per vagina after obstetric and gynecologic procedures.
Introduction And Objectives: Retroperitonoscopic nephrectomy in children was considered by some authors to be the final gold standard in children. Hence, we reviewed our data focusing on the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
Materials And Methods: In the period from November 2005 till February 2010, 35 patients were operated by a single surgeon (the first author); patients comprised 18 boys and 17 girls, with a mean age of 7.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a distressing urologic disorder. We describe a new technique that adds a third layer of closure during vaginal repair of VVF.
Methods: Twenty female patients with low VVF were included.
Objectives: Surgical treatment of a congenital bladder diverticulum is indicated in symptomatic children. Diverticulectomy can be performed by an open or a laparoscopic approach. We report our recent experience in using the pneumovesicoscopic approach for accomplishing vesical diverticulectomy.
