Background: Varicocele represents one of the most common surgically correctible urologic anomalies in adolescent males. The best procedure for treatment varicocele has not been established, but with recent advances minimal access surgery, there have many reports praising safety and efficacy laparoscopy retroperitoneoscopy surgical correction adolescent. aim this review is to compare results Palomo's technique, retroperitoneoscopic transperitoneoscopic approaches adolescent, analyzing...
To evaluate the efficacy of high-pressure balloon dilatation (HPBD) as treatment primary obstructive megaureter (POM) in paediatric patients, we analysed data our institute from June 2018 to September 2019.14 aged 5 months years, with POM were treated HPBD. All patients had a distal ureter greater than 7 mm associated features on mercaptoacetyl triglycine-3 diuretic renogram scan, and voiding cystourethrogram without vesicoureteral reflux. HPBD was performed 12 whereas 2 (14%), 6 months,...
To identify the diagnostic performance of clinical and radiological signs (on voiding cystourethrography [VCUG]) to detect posterior urethral valves (PUV) in post-neonatal period.
Background: Two main techniques are adopted to perform partial nephrectomy in children: laparoscopy and retroperitoneoscopy. The aim of this paper is review the larger multicentric experience recently published by our group indications, results both approaches. Methods: Data 102 patients underwent a 5-year period using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures were analyzed. Fifty-two children laparoscopic (LPN), 50 retroperitoneoscopic (RPN). Median age at was 4.2 years. Statistical...
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether serum aldosterone levels or plasmatic renin activity (PRA) measured early in life (1–3 months) could predict a future surgical intervention for obstructive congenital anomalies kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Twenty babies aged 1–3 months with suspected CAKUT were prospectively enrolled. patients underwent 2-year follow-up classified as needing not surgery. In all enrolled patients, PRA at evaluated predictors surgery by receiver-operating...

Due to the anatomical location kidneys, correct diagnosis and treatment is really challenging.We treated case kidney's PEComa 14-year-old boy.An individualized approach based on (3D CT-reconstructions) histopathological (US-guided preliminary biopsy) features lead us perform...
