Methods: 290 patients who underwent Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) were included in a retrospective analysis. Urine was obtained directly before the renal pelvis was opened, and was carried to the laboratory for bacterial culture. Clinical features were analyzed to evaluate risk factors for bacteriuria or funguria by comparing patients whose urine yielded positive cultures to those whose urine cultures were negative for bacteria or yeast. Results: Eighteen patients (6.2%) had positive urine cultures, including six cultures positive for Escherichia coli (E. coli), four for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, three for klebsiella pneumoniae, one for maltophilia monad, one for Enterococcus faecium, one for Candida albicans, one for Candida parapsilosis, and one for yeast not otherwise specified. Bacteriuria or funguria was significantly correlated with four clinical features: fever, urinary urgency, and history of nephrostomy or pyeloplasty. Conclusions: Bacteriuria or funguria was less common in children with UPJO, and the majority of organisms were identified as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or Klebsiella pneumoniae. Prophylactic antibacterial agents were probably necessary in those patients who had signs of urinary tract infection (UTI), or history of nephrostomy or pyeloplasty.展开更多

We report its management and outcome at Senegal’s main pediatric surgical department. Patients and Methods: We conducted a descriptive review of all patients managed in our pediatric surgical department at Albert Royer National Children’s Hospital Centre from January 1<sup>st</sup>, 2013 to December 31<sup>st</sup>, 2017. Results: Thirty patients were included in our study. The mean age was three years. Males were more affected (sex ratio of 2.75). The prenatal diagnosis was made in 23% of cases using prenatal ultrasonography. An abdominal mass was the circumstance of discovery in 36% of cases, and lumbar contact and renal sloshing were found in 66% of cases. There was no renal function impairment in 93% of cases. Urinary tract infection occurred in 50% of cases. Ultrasonography (100%) and urinary computed tomography (56%) were used to diagnose. A temporary nephrostomy was performed in 23% of cases, and as definitive treatment, an open Anderson-Hynes procedure was performed in 96% as a nephrectomy was made in a patient. Early postoperative complications were encountered in 56% of cases: urinary tract infection (36%), surgical site infection and anastomotic stenosis (6% both), and urinoma and textiloma (both in 3%). A patient died from sepsis. After a mean follow-up of 12 months, no additional complication was reported. Conclusion: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction was frequently diagnosed late, and its management carried unneglectable morbidity in our environment. A laparoscopic approach would be a solution to improve its outcome.展开更多

Many of them are detected in the antenatal or immediate postnatal with a significant proportion identified in the adult population with varying degree of severity. CAKUT can be classified on embryological basis in to abnormalities in the renal parenchymal development, aberrant embryonic migration and abnormalities of the collecting system. Renal parenchymal abnormalities include multi cystic dysplastic kidneys, renal hypoplasia, number(agenesis or supernumerary), shape and cystic renal diseases. Aberrant embryonic migration encompasses abnormal location and fusion anomalies. Collecting system abnormalities include duplex kidneys and Pelvi ureteric junction obstruction. Ultrasonography(US) is typically the first imaging performed as it is easily available, noninvasive and radiation free used both antenatally and postnatally. Computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) are useful to confirm the ultrasound detected abnormality, detection of complex malformations, demonstration of collecting system and vascular anatomy and more importantly for early detection of complications like renal calculi, infection and malignancies. As CAKUT are one of the leading causes of end stage renal disease, it is important for the radiologists to be familiar with the varying imaging appearances of CAKUT on US, CT and MRI, thereby helping in prompt diagnosis and optimal management.展开更多

In this study, we compared the initial results of retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty versus a combined laparoscopic dissection and open reconstruction through a small incision in the treatment of UPJ obstruction.Methods Sixty-four patients with primary UPJ obstruction underwent pyeloplasty： 32 patients underwent laparoscopic procedure and 32 patients underwent open assisted laparoscopic surgery including two steps, ie, laparoscopic dissection of the UPJ transperitoneally and then pyeloplasty via an extended small incision. The demographic data and intraoDerative, postoperative and follow-up conditions of patients were compared between the two groups.Results Preoperative data were comparable in the patients of the two groups. The operative time was shorter （60.9 minutes vs 157.7 minutes, P 〈0.0001） and the complication rate was lower （9.4% vs 31.3%, P 〈0,05） in the open assisted group than in the laparoscopic group. The estimated blood loss （42.3 ml vs 47.8 ml）, time to have normal diet （37.6 hours vs 33.8 hours）, and hospital stay （6.7 days vs 6.2 days） were equivalent, The operative success rate was 97% for the open assisted group and 91% for the laparoscopic group. Conclusions The procedure of combined small incision with laparoscopy for UPJ obstruction is technically easy, and the results are promising. It can be used as an alternative to conventional procedures.展开更多
