    Insights

    This study details a combined surgical technique for treating vesicoureteral reflux in children. The modified Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement proved successful in 37 renal units.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common condition in children.
    • Existing surgical treatments for VUR have varying success rates and complication profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical approach for VUR.
    • To assess the efficacy of a combined Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified surgical technique combining the Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement was employed.
    • The procedure was performed on 26 pediatric patients, involving 37 renal units.
    • Outcomes were compared to other established VUR surgical methods.

    Main Results:

    • The combined surgical approach demonstrated successful outcomes in all treated renal units.
    • The technique was safely and effectively performed in a cohort of 26 children.
    • No significant complications were reported during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement is a safe and effective surgical option for pediatric VUR.
    • This modified technique offers a promising alternative for managing complex VUR cases.
    • Further comparative studies are warranted to solidify its position among VUR treatments.

    Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

    An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
    During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

    Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

    Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
