PURPOSE Dextranomer/hyaluronic acid injection of ureteral orifices is a popular option in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux, with success rates ranging from 69% to 89%. We found only 1 study that followed patients beyond the initial postoperative voiding cystourethrogram, which describes a 96% success rate at 2 to 5 years but defines success as "nondilating" reflux. We examined our dextran...

PURPOSE The ability of uroflowmetry to diagnose recurrent stricture disease after urethroplasty has not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our routine post-urethroplasty monitoring includes retrograde urethrogram and voiding cystourethrogram at 3 and 12 months, in addition to uroflowmetry at 3-month intervals for a year.

Not infrequently, in pediatric practice one is confronted by anxious parents of children with voiding abnormalities. These include children who wet themselves, have frequent micturtion, urgency or dribbling.
