Just the tissues where the ureter is obstructed is cut, and the original ureter is repositioned and attached back to the healthy renal pelvic tissue above. Ureteric re-implant Ureteric re-implant  is generally used

Pediatric Urodynamic  What is a Pediatric Urodynamic study? Pediatric urodynamic study  (UDS) is a group of tests done for the assessment of how well your child’s bladder is functioning. These tests measure-: The functions of the bladder, urethra and pelvic floor muscles The bladder pressures while it stores and empties urine The urinary flow and the urethral sphincter muscle activity at the same time. What is the function of the bladder? The urinary bladder is a reservoir that collects the urine produced by the kidneys and then empties it at the appropriate time. This is a well-coordinated system that governs the relaxation and contraction of the bladder and urethral muscles. This system functions to maintain a low pressure inside the bladder and at the same time prevents involuntary leakage of the urine. The urodynamic study tracks the filling of the bladder and monitors the pressures inside the bladder and simultaneously it also assesses the function of the urinary sphincter muscles

  Thoracoscopic Surgery For Children Thoracosopic surgery , is a Minimally Invasive Surgery which uses multiple small incisions, and is suitable for children who need to undergo surgery for various  chest conditions.  Thoracoscopy  is now very frequently used for various simple and complex surgical chest conditions. Since a Minimally Invasive Surgery can be done with small incisions, this avoids injury to chest wall muscles and nerves. On the contrary, large incisions as used in open surgery are painful and can cause chest wall deformity in long run. Minimally Invasive Surgery have shown great results, with lesser pain, reduced hospitalization, lesser complications and a better cosmetic result  as compared to traditional thoracotomy. However, Thoracotomy will still be needed in some select cases.  Dr. Prashant Jain , is one of the  best paediatric surgeon in Delhi  (India), who has achieved excellent results in the removal of chest tumors through minimally invasive surgery.

Vesicoureteral Reflux Causes, Symptoms And Treatments Kidneys are important organ for urine formation. Normally, urine flows into the bladder through ureters. However, in some children, urine from the bladder flows back through the ureters. This condition is known as  Vesicouretral reflux (VUR)  and is common in infants and children. It can be unilateral or bilateral. This could cause infections and damage your kidneys. VUR affects about 10% of children. Although most can grow out of this condition, people who have severe cases may need surgery to protect their kidneys. This condition should not be ignored as it damages the function of kidneys and can lead to high blood pressure later in life. The risk of kidney damage is greatest during the first 6 years of life. Causes of VUR: A flap valve is located where the ureter joins with the bladder. Usually, the valve allows only a one-way flow of urine from the ureters to the bladder. Sometımes, a defective flap valve allows urine to flow ba

In boys with  hypospadias , the  urethra  forms abnormally during 8-14 weeks of pregnancy.

The opening can be anywhere from just below the normal position (mild) to as far back as the base of the scrotum (severe). Hypospadias may also include the following: A hooded appearance of the foreskin. This is because the foreskin does not dev
