Focused ultrasound therapy is a promising modality for noninvasive tissue ablation. However, the relative contributions of thermal and cavitational effects are poorly defined. We characterized parameters within which ablation occurs by mechanisms without significant effect.In vitro porcine kidneys were submerged in degassed water. Tissue was performed delivering (750 kHz 20 microsecond pulses) constant spatial peak energy dose (100 J/cm(2)) to adjacent foci 3 x grid configuration. For each...
Histotripsy is defined as noninvasive, nonthermal, mechanical (cavitational) tissue ablation. We previously demonstrated the predictable acute effects of histotripsy in rabbit kidney and other tissues. sought to characterize appearance natural history renal after histotripsy.Following Institutional Animal Care Committee approval, left kidneys 29 rabbits were treated with 60,000 750-kHz, 15-cycle bursts ultrasound energy from an 18-element phased-array transducer at a 1-kHz pulse-repetition...
Wilms tumor is the most common renal cancer in children. Approximately 5% of children with present disease both kidneys. The treatment challenge to achieve a high cure rate while maintaining long-term function. We retrospectively reviewed our institutional experience nephron sparing surgery (NSS) patients synchronous bilateral (BWT) operated on between 2001 and 2014.Imaging studies, surgical approach, adjuvant therapy, pathology reports were reviewed. Outcomes evaluated included...
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in children. However, a number controversial issues, such as optimal timing and approach to repair, continue be debated. This publication reviews available data pertaining these issues identifies best practices management inguinal hernias

Retroperitoneal laparoscopy (RP) may have some intrinsic advantages over transperitoneal (TP) in certain patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. We reviewed our experience with RP and TP nephrectomy to identify differences intraoperative postoperative parameters.The records of 72 (45 TP, 27 RP) laparoscopic without hand assistance between January 2003 August 2005 were reviewed. The two groups similar demographically; tumors smaller (2.1 v 2.7 cm; P = 0.03), the approach was used more...

Improved identification of children with vesicoureteral reflux at risk for recurrent febrile urinary tract infection may impact management decisions. We hypothesized that occurring earlier during bladder filling increases the duration exposure kidneys to bacteria, and, therefore, pyelonephritis.Children and detailed voiding cystourethrogram data were identified. Bladder volume onset was normalized age. Demographics, grade, laterality, presence/absence bladder-bowel dysfunction breakthrough...
