Revision of the renal pelvis treats the obstruction by excising the stenotic adynamic area of the uretero-pelvic junction and creating a more capacious conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.This study focuses on the various indications, techniques, ...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES With the increased use of minimally invasive surgery, the urethral diverticulum after anorectal surgery has become an issue. The few cases reported have been managed by surgical excision.

PURPOSE Animated biofeedback is an established treatment for pediatric dysfunctional voiding. Bowel dysfunction is closely associated with dysfunctional voiding. We evaluated the efficacy of animated biofeedback urotherapy in bowel and voiding dysfunction in children with dysfunctional elimination syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 children with dysfunctional elimination syndrome w...

This study was undertaken to identify risk factors for postoperative voiding dysfunction and factors having impact on patient global satisfaction after a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure. Two hundred and eighty-five women who underwent the TVT procedure for stress urinary incontinence were analyzed to identify risk factors predictive of voiding dysfunction. Postoperative voiding dysfun...
