Renal perfusion in dynamic scans: a key predictor of long-term outcomes in posterior urethral valves.

Background: Nadir creatinine value is used as a key predictor of long-term kidney outcomes in patients with posterior urethral valves (PUV). This study explores the role of kidney perfusion status in dynamic renal scans as an additional predictor of future kidney outcome of these patients.

Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted over 2 years in a tertiary referral centre, involving patients above 2.

Surgical outcomes of Subsymphyseal Urethral Reconstruction (SURE) in isolated female epispadias: evaluation of continence scoring.

Objective: To assess the long-term urinary continence of patients operated for isolated female epispadias using novel approach of distal urethral lengthening along with the incorporation of deeper periurethral muscles over the native urethra. Occurrence of UTI and stress incontinence too were assessed as secondary outcomes.

Methodology: All girls diagnosed with isolated female epispadias, who underwent epispadias repair, and completed follow-up period of minimum 2 years, were included in this study.
