Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether routine voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is necessary to confirm the resolution of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) after robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) in children.
  • Data from 42 patients under 18 who underwent RALUR revealed a high success rate, with 87.5% of ureters showing resolved VUR post-surgery.
  • The conclusion recommends that after gaining experience, routine VCUG may not be essential following RALUR, given the strong clinical success rate of 97.6%.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the timing of renal and bladder ultrasound (RBUS) after an infant's first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) to determine its impact on diagnosing abnormalities related to the UTI and potential vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
  • Researchers analyzed data from 227 patients aged 2 to 24 months, finding that longer delays in performing RBUS decreased the chances of identifying abnormal dilation, which may reduce false-positive results and unnecessary follow-up tests.
  • A significant portion of patients without meeting UTI culture criteria still underwent RBUS, showing similar abnormal findings to those who met the criteria, indicating that the standard definitions for UTIs may need reevaluation.

Incidence of febrile post-procedural urinary tract infection following voiding cystourethrography in children without prior urine culture.

World J Urol

August 2024

Department of Pediatric Surgery and Urology, National Reference Center for Rare Urinary Tract Malformations (CRMR MARVU), ERN eUROGEN Accredited Center, Robert-Debré University Hospital, APHP, GHU Nord, Université Paris Cité, 48, Boulevard Sérurier, 75019, Paris, France.

Purpose: Post-procedural urinary tract infections (ppUTIs) following voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) vary widely, with rates from 0 to 42%, though recent studies suggest rates typically below 5%. Verifying urine sterility before VCUG is traditionally done but questioned. This study assessed the 7-day ppUTI rate post-VCUG without prior urine sterility confirmation and identified associated risk factors.

Determination of voiding pressure in infants with normal lower urinary tracts: Exploring the possible effect of sacral development.

Neurourol Urodyn

November 2024

Department of Pediatric Urology, Pediatric Urology and Regenerative Medicine Research Center, Gene, Cell and Tissue Institute, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Pediatrics' Center of excellence, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Objective: To investigate the association between sacral underdevelopment, as defined by subnormal sacral ratio (SR) measurements, with increased maximum detrusor voiding pressure (P det. Max) in infants.

Methods: In this 2007-2015 retrospective cohort study, the medical records of all infants who underwent a pyeloplasty due to congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction were added.

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a fluoroscopic technique that allows the assessment of the urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, and-if vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is present-the ureters and the pelvicalyceal systems. The technique also allows for the assessment of bladder filling and emptying, providing information on anatomical and functional aspects. VCUG is, together with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (VUS), still the gold standard test to diagnose VUR and it is one of the most performed fluoroscopic examinations in pediatric radiology departments.
