This breakthrough device aims to end bedwetting, significantly enhancing the lives of children dealing with enuresis (urinary incontinence). Attendees will get an in-depth look at the technology behind the device, its clinical trials, and its profound impact on patient care.
Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) in Pediatric Urology
Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) is revolutionizing imaging in pediatric urology. Dr. Kirsch will explain how this non-invasive technology provides detailed images, helping in the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of complex urological conditions in children.
Surgical Management of VUR: Open, Robotic, Endoscopic
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common pediatric urological issue. Dr. Kirsch will compare different surgical approaches—open, robotic, and endoscopic—highlighting the pros and cons of each method. This comprehensive analysis will guide practitioners in choosing the best surgical options for their patients.
VUR Index: Assessing Risk and Resolution of VUR
The VUR Index, a new risk assessment tool developed with Dr. Kirsch’s expertise, will be showcased. This index helps clinicians evaluate the risk and potential resolution of VUR in pediatric patients, enabling more informed decisions about the most appropriate interventions.
