TL;DR: Despite normal renal-bladder ultrasound after a first pyelonephritis episode, a child may still have vesicoureteral reflux, recurrent pyel onephritis and the need for surgical intervention, and parents should be counseled on these risks.

TL;DR: Patients undergoing sacral neuromodulation had significant improvement in NLUTD/DES scores, and psychosocial and overall total quality of life, and continued to follow these patients in a prospective manner with validated questionnaires will strengthen the current evidence supporting sacral neuronodulation in the pediatric population.

TL;DR: This bladder injury model might more closely replicate bladder dysfunction in patients with poor bladder emptying due to neurological disease, including those noncompliant with intermittent catheterization.
