  1. Back To BasicsPediatric Urology Dr. Michael P. Leonard MD, FRCSC, FAAP Professor of Surgery University of Ottawa

  2. Urinary Tract Infections • Caused by gut bacteria • E. coli most common • Ascend via urethra to bladder and kidneys • Presentation varies with age: • Infants – fever, lethargy, diminished feeding, failure to thrive, diarrhea, vomiting • Children – frequency, urgency, dysuria, wetting, gross hematuria, abdominal pain, fever

  3. Urinary Tract Infections • Incidence • < 1 yr – more common in males (peak 6 months) • Increased in uncircumcised males (10x) • > 1 yr – more common in females (peak 2-3 years) • School age children: • 1.2% males • 5% females

  4. Urinary Tract InfectionsDiagnosis • Obtain urine sample for urinalysis / culture • Methods of obtaining urine: • Infant = bag urine, catheterized urine • Child = midstream urine, catheterized urine • Beware contamination! • Urinalysis: • +ve nitrite, leucocyte esterase, RBC • Culture: • > 108 CFU/l of one organism

  5. Urinary Tract InfectionTreatment • Antibiotics • IV ± hospital admission if systemically unwell (especially infants) • IV ampicillin / cephalosporin and gentamicin initially • Oral if reasonably stable and not toxic • Trimethoprim, TMP-SMX, nitrofurantoin, cephalosporin • Broad spectrum to cover gram negative and some gram positive (Staph, Enterococcus) • No worry regarding anaerobes • Duration of treatment 7-14 days depending on clinical scenario

  6. Urinary Tract InfectionInvestigation • AAP Guidelines 2011 • First febrile UTI 2-24 months = renal ultrasound • VCUG only if abnormal US or second febrile UTI • “Top down approach” • DMSA scan to document evidence of APN • VCUG only if findings APN on DMSA

  7. Urinary Tract InfectionReferral ? • Consider referring the following to specialist: • GU anomalies on US and/or VCUG • VUR, hydronephrosis, ureterocoele • Concern regarding neurogenic features • Abnormal lower back exam • VACTERL syndrome • Recurrent UTI in the otherwise normal child if not responsive to timed voiding and management of constipation

  8. Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR) • Urine washing back to kidneys from bladder = VUR • Increases risk of renal infection if UTI • Renal infection may lead to scarring • Associated with renal dysplasia ± renal scarring • More common in males < 1 yr and females > 1 yr • Seen in 35-50% of children with UTI • Diagnosed by VCUG

  9. VUR - Grading

  10. VUR - Management • Prevent UTI by antibiotic prophylaxis • Follow at intervals for resolution • Follow-up comprises US and Cystogram • Surgical intervention: • Breakthrough UTI • New scarring • Parental preference • Surgical options: • Minimally invasive (STING) • Open ureteric reimplantation

  11. VUR - Surgery

  12. Nocturnal Enuresis • If child wets bed at ≥ 5 years of age = NE • Common developmental issue: • 15% of 5 year olds  1% of 15 year olds • 15% spontaneously resolve annually • Family history common (genetic component) • Several theories abound: • Developmental delay of normal maturation • Deep sleep patterns • Bladder over-activity at night • Lack of nocturnal ADH production

  13. Nocturnal EnuresisClassification • Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) • No day time symptoms • No dry interval 6 months or longer • Secondary nocturnal enuresis • As above but with dry interval > 6 months at some time in past • Complicated nocturnal enuresis • Day time symptoms ± UTI

  14. Nocturnal EnuresisEvaluation (Rushton, J Pediatr)

  15. Nocturnal Enuresis:Treatment • Three primary treatment modalities: • Observation: • fluid restriction, double void at night, star charts • Conditioning therapy: • bedwetting alarm system • Pharmacotherapy: • DDAVP

  16. Daytime Wetting • Toilet training complete at 2-3 years • 5% of 5 year olds experience occasional daytime wetting • Causes: • anatomical (ectopic ureter, epispadias) • pseudo-incontinence (vaginal voiding) • neurogenic (spina bifida) • dysfunctional elimination (DE)

  17. Daytime wetting - DE • Bladder problems: • overactive bladder (OAB) • hypoactive bladder • detrusor / sphincter incoordination • Bowel problems: • fecal impaction • colonic distension  hypotonicity •  pelvic floor / sphincter tone

  18. Daytime wetting -Rx • Anatomical: • surgery (i.e. hemi-nephrectomy) • Pseudo-incontinence: • change of voiding posture • Neurogenic: • improve storage (anti-cholinergics) • improve emptying (IMC)

  19. Daytime wetting -Rx • Dysfunctional elimination: • improve bowel function (diet) • timed voiding (q 2-3h) • biofeedback • medication: • anti-cholinergics • -blockers • psychotherapy

  20. NORMAL SCROTAL ANATOMY

  21. Acute Scrotum • Case study #1: • 14 year old boy with right hemi-scrotal pain • Duration of pain = 6 hours • No history of trauma or LUTS • What else do you need to know?? • What is your differential diagnosis?? • Are any ancillary investigations useful??

  22. TESTIS TORSION • Clinical Presentation: • pubertal boy (12-16 years) • abrupt onset lower abdominal / testicular pain • pain usually severe, unrelenting • associated with nausea, vomiting, anorexia • prior history of trauma (minor) • previous episodes which resolved

  23. TESTIS TORSION • Physical Findings: • elevated testis with abnormal lie • “knotting” of spermatic cord • absent cremasteric reflex • scrotal erythema / edema • reactive hydrocoele • “bell clapper” contralaterally

  24. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS • Emergent: • Testicular torsion • Traumatic testicular rupture • Incarcerated inguinal hernia • Peritonitis with patent processus vaginalis • Fournier’s gangrene

  25. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS • Non-emergent • Torsion of testicular or epididymal appendage • Acute epididymo-orchitis • Idiopathic scrotal edema • Henoch-SchÖnleinpurpura • Hydrocoele / hernia • Acute hemorrhage into testicular neoplasm

  26. TESTIS TORSION • Laboratory Studies: • urinalysis typically negative, but may contain WBC’s • CBC and differential not useful discriminator • Radiographic Studies: • not indicated if typical clinical case with duration of pain < 12 hours!

  27. TESTIS TORSION • When should radiographic studies be considered? • duration of pain > 12 hours and / or diagnosis is uncertain • Which study is indicated? • Color Doppler ultrasonography

  28. TESTIS TORSION • Color Doppler ultrasound • readily available in most locales • positive finding = no or decreased flow in affected testis • sensitivity 91% (range 82-100%) • pitfalls: • small (infant) testis = no flow • peri-testicular flow due to inflammation around torted testis

  29. TESTIS TORSION

  30. TESTIS TORSION • Time is of the essence! • salvage is usually successful within 6-8 hours after onset of pain • salvage possible up to 24 hours, but rate declines exponentially • pain > 24 hr invariably = necrotic testis (very rare exception!)

  31. TESTIS TORSION • Surgical Results: • salvage rates approximate 60-70% • factors contributing to missed torsion: • patient delay in presentation = 80% • physician mis-diagnosis = 20% • suggests need for education through school health / physical education programs

  32. TESTIS TORSION

  33. EXTRA-VAGINAL TESTIS TORSION (NEONATAL) • Occurs ante-natally (in utero) or in the first week post-natally • Testis and tunica vaginalis rotate together (inadequate scrotal wall fixation) • Presents as painless scrotal swelling with scrotal erythema / bluish discoloration • Testis rarely viable - ? need for surgery

  34. TORSION OF TESTICULAR APPENDAGE • Case study #2: • 8 year old boy • 2 day history right hemiscrotal pain • Anything else you want to know??

  35. TORSION OF TESTICULAR APPENDAGE • Clinical presentation: • 7-12 year old (pre-pubertal) boy • pain more indolent, not as severe as testis torsion • pain may resolve with rest • usually no accompanying nausea or vomiting

  36. TORSION OF TESTICULAR APPENDAGE • Physical Exam: • early • testis has a normal lie • maximal tenderness at upper pole • tender nodule may be seen (“blue dot”) or felt • late • progressive scrotal erythema and edema • reactive hydrocoele • more difficult to differentiate from testis torsion

  37. TORSION OF TESTICULAR APPENDAGE • Laboratory investigations: • urinalysis usually negative • Radiographic evaluation: • Color Doppler ultrasound shows increased flow to upper pole testis / epididymis. May also see small hypoechoictorted appendage. • Radionuclide scan shows increased blood flow to the affected hemi-scrotum

  38. TORSION OF TESTICULAR APPENDAGE • Treatment: • limit physical activity • analgesia • expect an initial increase in swelling / redness with resolution over 7-10 days • surgery only necessary if diagnosis in doubt and / or pain not well managed by analgesics • no long term sequelae re: testicular function

  39. EPIDIDYMITIS • Case study #3: • 10 year old boy • 2 day history left hemiscrotal pain and swelling • LUTS for 3 days • Febrile (39.5C) • Any further investigations / information required??

  40. EPIDIDYMITIS • Bacterial or chemical inflammation of epididymis • Rare in pre-pubertal boys • if occurs, consider urinary tract abnormality such as ectopic ureter, PUV, stricture • Common in sexually active adolescents • usually Chlamydia, rarely gonococcus

  41. EPIDIDYMITIS • Clinical presentation: • pain insidious in onset • irritative lower urinary tract symptoms may precede onset of pain • urethral discharge if STD • may be septic

  42. EPIDIDYMITIS • Physical examination: • elevated temperature • scrotal edema, erythema, tenderness, reactive hydrocoele, tender prostate • early on epididymis may be increased in size and exquisitely tender • in later stages, loss of anatomical landmarks with diffuse tenderness • Prehn’s sign unreliable!

  43. EPIDIDYMITIS • Laboratory investigations: • urinalysis may show pyuria, hematuria, bacteria • urine culture may be positive • Radiographic evaluation • only necessary in pre-pubertal child with concurrent UTI • renal ultrasound and VCUG recommended • if Color Doppler US obtained will show increased blood flow to affected side

  44. Scrotal Mass • Need to distinguish where mass is coming from: • Processus vaginalis: • Indirect inguinal hernia • Communicating or non-communicating hydrocoele • Testicular adnexae: • Epididymal cyst / spermatocoele • Varicocoele • Testis • Testicular tumour

  45. Scrotal mass in children

  46. Hernia - HydrocoeleEmbryology • As testis descends through inguinal canal into scrotum: • carries along a tongue of peritoneum (processus vaginalis) • normally communication of processus with peritoneum closes • leaves potential space (tunica vaginalis) over antero-lateral testis

  47. Hydrocoele - HerniaAnatomy

  48. Hernia - Hydrocoele Management • Communicating hydrocoele: • may resolve spontaneously < 2 yr. • if persists > 2 yr.  repair • Indirect inguinal hernia: • repair at any age • risk of incarceration small but real

  49. Non-communicating Hydrocoele • Localized collection of fluid in tunica vaginalis • May be secondary to: • inflammatory process • trauma, infection, torsion • tumor • If concern re: testis  ultrasound • Surgical intervention is option
