Is endoscopic decompression of the neonatal extravesical upper pole ureterocele necessary for prevention of urinary tract infections or bladder neck obstruction?
In patients with extravesical duplex ureteroceles neonatal complications of urinary tract infection and progressive hydronephrosis are not significantly different between those treated with immediate endoscopic decompression versus delayed open surgical intervention.
Pediatric MDS-derived MSCs possess the basic characteristics of normal MSCs, but display defective proliferation, which may be associated with cell senescence.
