Does Preoperative Screening VCUG Affect the Outcomes and Complications of Pyeloplasty in Patients with Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction?
The role of voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) in evaluating vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in patients with known ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) remains unclear. While VCUG is frequently performed, the incidence of concomitant VUR and UPJO is low, and VUR is often low-grade with high rates of spontaneous regression. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Commentary to Longitudinal follow-up of bladder function in children who participated in the Swedish Reflux Trial
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), without a doubt, is among the major subjects of pediatric urology. However, there has been a scarcity of randomized controlled trials that would yield scientifically solid data on VUR and its outcomes. Consequently, The Swedish Reflux Trial (SRT) [1] can be regarded as a milestone since it provided crucial information on the complicated path of VUR treatment. Even though not being perfect regarding design, enrollment, and execution, it helped us to shape our clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Insights Into Enlarged Prostatic Utricles And M üllerian Duct System Remnants Associated With Posterior Hypospadias
The prostatic utricle (PU) consists of the caudal remnant of the M üllerian duct and the urogenital sinus. The term “vagina masculina” is used if other Müllerian structures are associated with the PU. This work aims to investigate the incidence, management, and follow up of enlarged PUs and Müllerian remnants in males with posterior hypospadias. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

The Intestinal Microbiome of Children with Initial and Recurrent Nephrolithiasis: A Pilot Study and Exploratory Analysis
Kidney stone disease in children is rising disproportionate to the general population, representing a disease population with a distinct biological mechanism as compared to adults. Factors influencing recurrent kidney stone disease in children are poorly characterized and the associations of the intestinal microbiome within sub-populations of kidney stone formers, however, are not well described. We evaluated a pilot cohort of children with nephrolithiasis comparing patients based on recurrent kidney stone episodes and abnormal 24-hour urinary parameters, with dual aims to compare the microbiome signal in children with ini...
