Recent data suggest that testicular torsion may include an element of the compartment syndrome improves with decompression. In 2009 we instituted tunica albuginea incision vaginalis flap coverage as alternative in cases which torsed testis continued to appear ischemic after detorsion.The medical records 65 boys who underwent scrotal exploration for between 2000 and 2010 were reviewed. There 6 patients excluded from study due lack followup. Of remaining 59 31 (52.5%) showed improvement...
Background/Objectives: This case study presents the complex management of a neonate with concurrent posterior urethral valves (PUV) and duodenal atresia (DA), highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping atypical imaging findings. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed focus on pre- postnatal clinical findings throughout patient’s course care. Results: 32-week gestational referral revealed polyhydramnios, double-bubble sign, hydronephrosis. DA-associated polyhydramnios...
Prediction of successful pyeloplasty can be challenging, particularly in asymptomatic children treated for worsening prenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis. We evaluated early noninvasive objective predictors success this population.We reviewed patients who underwent asymptomatic, detected, hydronephrosis between 2000 and 2010 with followup greater than 1 year. For all renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter a mid transverse view Society Fetal Urology grade were preoperatively 3 to 4 months...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy. We describe the largest cohort IMT patients to date, aiming further characterize this rare, poorly understood tumor. This multi-institutional review ≤39 years, from 2000 2018, at 18 hospitals in Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative. One hundred and eighty-two were identified with median age 11 years. Thirty-three percent tumors thoracic origin. Presenting signs/symptoms included pain...
