We present 5 renal artery stenosis in 3 patients, 2 of them affected of neurofibromatosis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was successful in one left renal artery. The operation was carried out in 4 renal arteries, 2 aortorenal reimplantations, 1 splenorenal bypass and 1 patch angioplasty using saphenous vein were performed. At this time 2 children are normotensive and do not require medication, and 1 child is normotensive and is receiving antihypertensive medication at a smaller doses that those necessary before operation. The good permeability of anastomosis was verified in all cases.
Like other European departments, we have been using since 1982 report form on cystoscopic studies, containing a total of 56 data. In this paper we present a model of our cystoscopic report and the results obtained from 185 cystoscopic explorations performed on 153 patients, of both sexes, between the ages of 4 days and 15 years. Cystoscopy which is not routinely performed in all patient suffering from uropathy or reflux, has facilitated the establishment or confirmation of diagnosis in 35% when combined with radiology. It has been useful in postoperative control as well (23%), it has to decide therapeutic policies (15%) and has resolved all ureteral valve cases as well as some ureteral stenosis cases. We explain the technic used in our department for the transfixation and tearing of the valves by electrocoagulation and the absence of any complications using this method. The actual nomenclature of ureteral meatus, based on their location, grade of opening and the frequently associated grade of renal dysplasia, as well as the criteria followed in the endoscopic control of previous ureteral reimplants and the rising pyelography indications, are also explained.
