Justification For Re-Look Cystoscopy After Posterior Urethral Valve Fulguration.

Background: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is life-threatening congenital anomaly of the urinary tract that results in vesicoureteric reflux, recurrent UTI, voiding dysfunction and renal insufficiency if not treat timely. Endoscopic ablation of posterior urethral valves using cold knife or laser is the current gold standard therapy. Many urologists go for repeat cystoscopy to see residual valve or stricture while others repeat VCUG to measure the posterior to anterior urethral ratio for residual obstruction.

EFFICACY OF ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR PRIMARY VESICOURETERIC REFLUX IN CHILDREN.

Background: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common anomaly affecting 1-3% of all children and 30-50% of those with urinary tract infection (UTI).
