Snodgrass repair corrects multiple forms of hypospadias

Join Urology Times and Contemporary Pediatrics for a discussion about controversies over circumcision and its implications.

In this episode, Julia Beth Finkelstein, MD, MPH, CPPS, discusses what she and her co-authors learned from a recent study evaluating the use of telemedicine for pediatric post-op visits.

Stone disease and minimally invasive treatment approaches are once again leading issues in the pediatric urology section of the 2012 AUA annual meeting.

New data showing an increasing incidence of pediatric stone disease is stimulating more research to further describe and understand this troubling phenomenon.

Results of a survey of pediatricians' practice patterns for children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are worrisome in showing these primary care practitioners are retaining their patients longer before referring them to a specialist.

Radiologically proven VUR was present in 11 mothers and seven fathers as well as in 36 second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents) and 73 third-degree relatives (65 first cousins and eight great-aunts, -uncles or -grandparents) of 259 VUR patients in an Irish study.
