#Folic acid today is one small supplement that can help protect your baby from serious birth defects like #spina bifida. Check out our new multidisciplinary #guideline on urological management of spinal dysraphism in children and adolescents. @ESPUorg@ifsbh@Uroweb@ERN_eUROGEN
Intrarenal pressure in real time 👀
Two different cases:
❌ No access sheath
✅ Suction access sheath (FANS)
Completely different pressure dynamics.
This is why pressure matters. @CaseUrology#Endourology#KidneyStones#URS
Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) examinations allow assessment of kidney functions through recently developed image post-processing techniques. Read this Original Article on prediction of split renal function & obstruction w/MRU. #OpenAccess

Antenatal hydronephrosis (HN) is the most common congenital urinary tract abnormality, but mgmt is controversial. Read this Original Article on safely limiting antibiotic prophylaxis & invasive testing in asymptomatic children w/antenatally detected HN.

Important study. Especially the difference between HN and HUN: In isolated HN, #CAP conferred no measurable benefit, whereas in HUN, CAP reduced infections (6% vs. 21%). So #risk stratification does really matter.
Continuous antibiotics, VCUGs, and diuretic renograms may be safely avoided in many patients with prenatal hydronephrosis; our work on the evolving management of these children is out! @Ped_Neph@IPNA_PedNeph@MandyRickardNP@AdreeKhondker@JoanaRosaP

Very proud to share the results of a prospective randomized study comparing p-Tm:YAG @DornierMedTech and high-power Ho:YAG lasers for urs-lithotripsy.
Organizing prospective research in laser technology takes time, teamwork, and consistency. @Urolchi@CAU_URO

Excellent participation by Dr. P. J. López at @ESPU, sharing his expertise in 'A Surgical Coach for Me? What for?' His insights are helping to shape the future of surgical education and mentorship. 💡👨⚕️
Expanding female leadership in #peduro is not only about equity—it strengthens the field itself by bringing diverse perspectives, experiences, and approaches to care. The session on women in Peduro at @ESPUorg meeting emphasizes its importance.
👏 👏 👏 We are very proud to have been designated as a World Center of Excellence in Bladder and Cloacal Exstrophy by the Association for the Bladder Exstrophy Community - @bladderexstroph
🌍 We are the only center in Europe with this accreditation and one of just 13 worldwide.
This recognition is the result of nearly 50 years of supporting children and families living with this rare congenital condition, and of our strong commitment to providing comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and patient-centered care.
🤗 Congratulations to the entire team of the Pediatric Urology Unit at Fundació Puigvert, where this program is led by Dr. Anna Bujons Tur, in collaboration with Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, with whom we share clinical activity.
💙 Thank you all for making this possible!
