The indication to synovialectomy is present in chronic inflammatory articular processes, which cannot be sufficiently controlled by an optimal medicamentous treatment of a duration of 6 months. It is urgent, when the synovialitis is connected with the danger of a damage of tendons and nerves. An essential restriction by the age of the patients or the activity of the process does not exist. Reconstructive-reparative and stiffening operations are indicated, when the correction of deformations or the stabilisation of joints shall be achieved. In these cases the interventions first mentioned may also contribute to the alleviation of the pain and the improvement of the function. The results of the surgery of joints in chronic rheumatic diseases are good in the majority of patients. Further improvements may be achieved by timely indications and the enlargement of the possibilities of the alloplastic substitution of the joints.

Factors Influencing Success in Endoscopic Treatment of Grade 4-5 Primary Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR) in Infancy and Childhood.

J Pediatr Surg

January 2025

Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and Imperial College Hospitals (West London Children's Hospital Alliance), Imperial College London, United Kingdom. Electronic address:

Introduction: There is equipoise among pediatric urologists regarding endoscopic versus surgical intervention for symptomatic Grade 4-5 Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR), particularly in infancy. Our aim was to assess outcomes of first-line endoscopic treatment in all cases of symptomatic Grade 4-5 VUR and we hypothesised that using endoscopic Dx/HA as first line management for primary VUR would obviate the need for ureteric reimplantation in the majority of cases.

Methods: Retrospective single-surgeon analysis of consecutive patients with primary Grade 4-5 VUR over 15 years.
