We have studied 62 children with urinary infection simultaneously by means of micturitional cystoureterography (MCU) and indirect isotopic cystography. We confirm a correlation between the results of the MCU and in the indirect isotopic cystography in 86% of the ureters explored, whilst the results of the MCU and of the direct isotopic cystography coincided in 92% of the ureters explored. We discuss the advantages and drawbacks of isotopic cystography, concluding that it is a suitable method for the diagnosis and evolutive control of vesicoureteral reflux in infancy.

Clinical implications of primary "occult" vesicoureteral reflux in male children.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the characteristics and outcomes of "occult" vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) found through isotopic cystography (IC) versus those identified by voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) in male children.*
- In a sample of 421 boys, 11.2% were diagnosed with occult VUR, and these patients had significant risks for kidney injury (KI) and febrile urinary tract infections (fUTI), with many showing more severe VUR characteristics.*
- The findings suggest that IC can help identify those with hidden VUR who may need surgical intervention, highlighting the need for careful screening in boys with recurrent fUTIs.*
Sources of error in direct radionuclide cystography in children and the need for a standardized, manometric apparatus.

Direct radionuclide cystography (DRC) is a safe and reliable method for the detection and follow-up of vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR). Since the first DRC was performed, during the early 60, the method has undergone many refinements. Themanometric approach, which was first introduced in 1984, provides a correlation between the bladder pressure and VUR visualization.

Objective: To prove the feasibility, as well as the reproducibility of laparoscopic totally intracorporeal ileal ureter replacement (LIUR), by presenting a multicenter patient cohort with a long follow-up.
Material And Methods: Records of patients undergoing different types of ureteral replacements have been collected. Follow-up included a chemical profile and urine cultures.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic performance of urinary dysfunction patterns associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children over the age of 3 according to the result of the first endoscopic treatment (ENDT1), grouped into a classification designed by our group (CMD.URI-La Fe). Comparison with other current classifications such as that of Van Batavia et al.

Methods: Cross-sectional ambispective study of 48children with vesicoureteral reflux. Those with previousendoscopic treatment, age or neurological abnormalities and a history of urethralor abdominal surgery were excluded.
