Bowel Bladder Dysfunction in Control Children in a Pediatric Urology Office
Bowel bladder dysfunction (BBD) is common in children. Risk factors for BBD include age, gender, obesity, and behavioral issues such as ADHD. We investigated the modified Swedish Bowel-Bladder questionnaire as a sensitive indicator of BBD in healthy children. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Editorial comment on JPUrol-D23-00570R1 - Prenatal Dx Exstrophy
The importance of prenatal diagnosis for congenital conditions cannot be understated. Some are very challenging to identify, while others have a clear finding that is a hallmark. Classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) is one of those with a very clear finding that should not be missed: an absent bladder. While this seems like it would be something that could be caught every time, there are 2 things that seem to be the basis of the unacceptably high rate of not identifying this condition prenatally- it is much harder to see something that is NOT present, than something than is abnormal; and when a bladder is not seen, the usual se...

on behalf of my colleagues, I would like to thank Dr Hep şen for his attention to our paper challenging an, arguably, post-modern approach called nerve-sparing circumcision in the contemporary literature. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Comment on: "Nerve-sparing circumcision: Myth or reality?"
I read the article published by Cak ıcı et al. in 2021 (1). I would like to thank the authors for contributing their work to the literature. I appreciate their efforts on this original article. In the article, the authors stated that macroscopic fine dissection preserves a significant part of the nerve trunks and vascular structures and the entire Pacinian Corpuscles. They also declared that the term "tissue-sparing circumcision" should be used in the literature instead of "nerve-sparing circumcision". (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Commentary to ''Decreased percent change in renal pelvis diameter on diuretic functional magnetic resonance urography following administration of furosemide may help characterize unilateral uretero-pelvic junction obstruction''
We read the article by Janssen et al entitled “Decreased percent change in renal pelvis diameter on diuretic functional magnetic resonance urography following administration of furosemide may help characterize unilateral uretero-pelvic junction obstruction” with great interest (1). Janssen et al. indicated that a relatively smaller change i n anterior-posterior renal pelvic diameter (APRPD) on functional magnetic resonance urography (fMRU) following administration of furosemide in ureteropelvic junction obstruction may be predictive for obstructed kidneys (1).

Response to commentary on “Optimizing Prenatal Diagnosis and Referral of Classic Bladder Exstrophy: Lessons from a Single-Institution Experience”
We thank the commenters for their insight on the thorny problem of prenatal diagnosis of classic bladder exstrophy (CBE). They correctly highlight what we consider among the most important conclusions of our study: CBE is difficult to diagnose for multiple reasons, chief among them the lack of suspicion by maternal fetal medicine specialists because of the rarity of the disease. As the largest cohort to date, our study reinforces the fact that knowledge of CBE diagnosis has not been widely disseminated. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Radiation Exposure associated with Computed Tomography for Pediatric Urolithiasis Evaluation: A Scoping Review of the Literature
Computed tomography (CT) imaging is used for assessment of pediatric urolithiasis in cases where ultrasound is inconclusive. The utility of CT imaging must be considered alongside the potential risks of radiation exposure in this patient population due to the increased risk of cancer development. The purpose of this review is to investigate the radiation exposure associated with standard-dose and low-dose computed tomography (CT) imaging for the assessment of pediatric urolithiasis.

Elevating Pediatric Urology Care: The Crucial Role of Nursing Research in Quality Improvement
We are grateful that our article resulted in raised attention for nursing-led research and sparked a discussion. That was one of the aims of publishing it. There are several comments we would like to address. The authors of this editorial are the members of the ESPU Research Committee. The first author is Anka Nieuwhof-Leppink, who is a registered nurse, has a PhD, is the co-Chair of the Research Committee, and is the former Chair of ESPU-N. Anka conceived and drafted the paper on behalf of the research committee, and we therefore believe it is representative of a nursing perspective on research. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Urology)

Reply to Letter to the Editor by Snodgrass et al. Re "Plate Objective Scoring Tool (POST) in distal hypospadias: Correlation with POST-repair complications
Despite the popularity of TIP correction for distal hypospadias, certain publications have raised concerns about the accuracy of statements regarding its low complication rate [1]. Even skilled surgeons have observed a significant reoperation rate of 22.2% in recent big series of 450 cases when using TIP repair for distal hypospadias [1]. This is similar to the current study where we found a 25% complication rate when using TIP repair in unfavorable urethral plates [2]. It is worth mentioning that all fistulas encountered in our series were clearly secondary to distal meatal stenosis that was captured as a primary outcome....
