Cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) is the most simple and safe method of all permanent urinary diversions, but is associated with a risk for stomal obstruction. It is important to appropriately manage hydronephrosis associated with CU. We evaluated the occurrence of stomal obstruction after CU by 99m Tcmercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) diuretic renography three months after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) is a leading cause of hydronephrosis in children, and while ultrasonography is useful, it can't determine if an obstruction is present; thus, Ureteric jets through color Doppler ultrasound are being studied for this purpose.
- The study aimed to evaluate Ureteric Jet Frequency (UJF) and Relative Jet Frequency (RJF) in children with unilateral PUJO before and after administering furosemide, assessing their effectiveness for diagnosis and post-operative monitoring.
- Results showed that UJF was significantly lower on the obstructed side, but the difference was not significant when compared to controls; after surgery, both UJF and RJF increased, indicating their potential utility in

Pediatrics, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Wardha, IND.
Background Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) encompass a diverse array of disorders arising from developmental irregularities in the renal parenchymal development, disrupted embryonic migration of the kidneys, and the urinary collecting system. This study aimed to investigate the clinical presentations, patterns of obstructive and non-obstructive CAKUT, and associated extrarenal manifestations in affected children. Methods This observational study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Wardha.

Background: Patients with high grade hydronephrosis (HN) and non-obstructive drainage on mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG-3) diuretic renography (renal scans) can pose a dilemma for clinicians. Some patients may progress and require pyeloplasty; however, more clarity is needed on outcomes among these patients.
Objective: Our primary objective was to predict which patients with high-grade HN and non-obstructive renal scan, (defined as T ½ time <20 min) would experience resolution of HN.

Introduction: Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) is the gold-standard diagnostic test for urolithiasis. Little is published regarding which information needs to be included in the report for it to be most useful to the healthcare team for efficient triage and high-quality patient care. This study aimed to assess the quality and variability of CT scan reporting at a single Canadian tertiary academic medical center.
