Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Radiation exposure during treatment of pediatric stone disease is not trivial, and is significantly greater when PCNL is performed, and urologists should closely monitor the amount of fluoroscopy used, and consider the potential for radiation exposure when choosing the operative approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Since pediatric transplant recipients are a group in whom the reduction or elimination of steroids is highly desirable, FK-506 immunosuppression may be particularly suited for use in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direction of Rotation in Testicular Torsion and Identification of Predictors of Testicular Salvage.
TL;DR: Testicular rotation occurs in a lateral direction in 46% of cases and lateral manual detorsion should be performed only with awareness of the potential for increasing the degree of testicular rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children.
TL;DR: Laroscopic pyeloplasty for UPJO in the pediatric population is technically challenging; however, with experience, one can expect excellent success rates comparable to open pyelplasty, with minor complications with reasonable operative times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absence of microdeletions in the Y chromosome in patients with a history of cryptorchidism and azoospermia or oligospermia.
TL;DR: Microdeletions of interval 6 of the Y chromosome were not detected in either the formerly cryptorchid or in the healthy subjects, and it is concluded that crypt orchidism or cryptorchism associated with azoospermia or oligospermIA is not due to microdeletion involving interval 6of the Y chromosomes.
