Incidence of abnormal imaging and recurrent pyelonephritis after first febrile urinary tract infection in children 2 to 24 months old.
Trisha M. Juliano,Heidi A. Stephany,Douglass B. Clayton,John C. Thomas,John C. Pope,Mark C. Adams,John W. Brock,Stacy T. Tanaka +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic vs Open Pyeloplasty in Children: Results of a Randomized, Prospective, Controlled Trial
TL;DR: Open and laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty are comparable and effective methods for repair of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and the approach to repair may best be based on family preference for incision aesthetics and surgeon comfort with either approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective Evaluation of Sacral Nerve Modulation in Children with Validated Questionnaires
Heidi A. Stephany,Trisha M. Juliano,Douglass B. Clayton,Stacy T. Tanaka,John C. Thomas,Mark C. Adams,John W. Brock,John C. Pope +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
