Evaluating pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction: Dynamic magnetic resonance urography renal scintigraphy 99m-technetium mercaptoacetyltriglycine.

Background: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common congenital urinary tract disorder in children. It can be diagnosed as early as due to the presence of hydronephrosis or later in life due to symptomatic occurrence.

Aim: To evaluate the discrepancy between dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance urography (dMRU) and scintigraphy 99m-technetium mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG-3) for the functional evaluation of UPJO.

Effects of mechanical forces on the formation of cutaneous wounds during skin expansion and emerging therapies for wound healing and scar prevention.

Objectives: To update a possible role of cosmeceutical topic treatment to obtain a better scar.

Methods: This is a preliminary supportive study. A total of 14 patients who went to the General Hospital of Mexico City, Mexico, between May and December 2020, for breast reconstruction were included in the current study.

Peri-areolar double-pedicle technique in the treatment of iatrogenic gynecomastia.

Objectives: To describe the surgical approach to the treatment of iatrogenic gynecomastia via peri-areolar incision.

Methods: In this study, we describe our experience in the surgical management of iatrogenic hormonal gynecomastia with our technique described for idiopathic gynecomastia. We treated 70 patients with gynecomastia at a plastic surgery unit between 2000 and 2016.

Laparoscopic Splenectomy Alone for Sickle Cell Disease: Account of 50 paediatric cases.

Objectives: In Oman, the most frequent indication for a splenectomy in children is sickle cell disease (SCD), which is one of the most common haematological disorders in the Gulf region. This study aimed to describe paediatric laparoscopic splenectomies alone for SCD at a tertiary hospital in Oman.

Methods: This study was conducted between February 2010 and October 2015 at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman.
