Fourteen cases of obstruction after ureteroneocystostomy in children have been cured by surgery between 1972 and 1986; nine patients were referred from outside our hospital. This failure as been observed after reimplantation of simple thin ureter (29 cases) megaureter (7) or duplication (4). The diversity of lesions, of which 52 percent were ischemic stenosis, required surgery without any preconceived idea. A new reimplantation is often necessary, usually with Politano-Leadbetter procedure, and, if necessary, with a hitch-bladder. The operation is successful in 85 percent of patients, but the result is uncertain when the operation is late or when the value of renal parenchymal is initially poor.

Background: Double-J (DJ) stent placement is an important procedure during laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP). Failing to insert the DJ stent may indicate the patient was also complicated with uretero-vesical junction obstruction (UVJO), and surgeons have to change to another alternative drainage method. In the present study, we analyzed the risk factors of failure of DJ stent placement during the LP and reviewed the clinical outcomes of these challenging pyeloplasties.

Background: Children with non-refluxing primary megaureter are mostly managed by a watchful approach with close follow-up and serial imaging.
Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the current non-surgical management strategy in these patients.
Data Sources: A comprehensive search including electronic literature databases, clinical trial registries, and conference proceedings was performed.

Introduction: Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI), febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI), renal scarring, and renal damage are intimately related. Key factors of renal damage in VUR are suspected to be RUTI and FUTI. Hence, conventional treatments are targeted toward the prevention of RUTI and FUTI.

Objective: To report 2 cases of an extremely rare bladder tumor such as Cystitis Glandularis (CG) that were management by different strategies and review the current evidence.
Material And Methods: Both cases of 43 and 48 years reported the same lower urinary tract symptoms that simulated a malignant bladder tumor. Case 1 presented with an extensive tumor affecting the trigone and the left upper urinary tract; the second case presented a less extensive tumor also at the bladder trigone.
