Objective: To define safety and effectiveness of cystostomy button in the management of bladder drainage in pediatric patients with neurogenic bladder, and report our personalized surgical technique.
Materials And Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing cystostomy button placement for bladder drainage from October 2009 to December 2015. Endoscopic and open surgical techniques and medium-term complication were analyzed and indications were recorded.
Results: Thirty-five patients, 16 (45.7%) females and 19 (54.3%) males, underwent cystostomy button placement for bladder drainage with a mean age of 8.6 ± 4.8 years (standard deviation) and a mean follow-up time of 37 months. There were 91.4% of patients who had a neurogenic bladder; a nonobstructive urinary retention was diagnosed in the remainder of cases. A medium-term complication was mostly represented by urinary tract infection observed in 10 of 35 patients that was the most representative cause of button removal (4 of 35). Other observed complications were button leakage (n = 2), decubitus (n = 1), and bladder stone (n = 1). No postoperative complication was observed and no differences were found in terms of complications in the two surgical approaches performed.
Conclusion: Cystostomy button is a safe and effective treatment for bladder drainage in neurogenic pediatric patients and it is also well accepted by patients and caregivers. Cystostomy button, which may avoid mechanical concerns and most of the social discomfort, should be considered an alternative method to other bladder drainage modalities.

Hypospadias management in children with anorectal malformation: a multidisciplinary single center experience.

Article Synopsis
- - Anorectal malformation (ARM) often coexists with congenital issues and requires specialized management; this study focuses on ARM patients with hypospadias and occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) from 1999 to 2022.
- - Out of 222 male ARM patients, 22 (10%) had hypospadias, with evaluations showing that 55% of these hypospadias patients also had OSD, which can complicate treatment plans.
- - Surgical approaches varied: all proximal hypospadias required two surgeries, while distal cases had less consistency in repair rates, highlighting the relationship between ARM, hypospadias management, and the need for neuro-urological assessments.
The MIC-KEY button vesicostomy: a superior alternative for suprapubic drainage?

Department of Urology, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, London, UK.
Objectives: To evaluate the MIC-KEY button vesicostomy as an alternative to indwelling suprapubic catheters (SPCs) for bladder drainage in adults.
Patients And Methods: Phase II pilot study prospectively evaluating patients with indwelling SPCs that were converted to MIC-KEY buttons, or cystoscopic-guided de novo insertion, between November 2014 and February 2019. In all, 15 patients (14 female, one male) had indwelling SPCs that had conversion or attempted conversion to MIC-KEY button, and one (male) had a cystoscopic-guided de novo insertion with a history of previous suprapubic catheterisation.
Vesicostomy button: how is it placed, in whom, and how is quality of life affected?

University of California, San Diego, CA, USA.
Purpose: The vesicostomy button has been shown to be a safe and effective bladder management strategy for short- or medium-term use when CIC cannot be instituted. This study reports our use with the vesicostomy button, highlighting the pros and cons of its use and complications. We then compared the quality or life in patients with vesicostomy button to those performing clean intermittent catheterization.

Background: Treatment of severe congenital dysfunctional bladders often requires bladder drainage to maintain low bladder pressure, thus preserving renal function. Although clean intermittent catheterization is the ideal choice, this can be especially challenging in the younger pediatric population or in children with neurological impairment. Alternatives such as incontinent vesicostomy, long-term suprapubic catheterization, or button cystostomy exist, but these are rarely very long-term options.

Purpouse: In newborn and infant with functional and/or anatomical lower urinary tract obstruction, the goals of vesicostomy are to achieve a low pressure bladder, an effective bladder drainage and to prevent urinary tract infection and sepsis. Nonetheless, classical vesicostomy is not free from complications. The aim is to describe a surgical technique of button vesicostomy as an alternative of cutaneous vesicostomy.
