Posterior Urethral valves | Dr. Kumar K S - Pediatric Surgeon | Medlearning.io

Описание: This course is designed to provide a comprehensive exploration of Post Urethral Valves (PUV), a condition characterized by valvular obstruction of the posterior urethra in male infants. The curriculum covers key areas including the definition and epidemiology of PUV, with an incidence ranging from 1 in 5000 to 1 in 8000 live births. Participants will learn to identify classic prenatal sonographic findings such as megacystis and the "keyhole sign," and understand the critical aspects of prenatal counseling and management. The course will delve into post-natal evaluation techniques, including physical examination and essential clinical investigations like ultrasound and VCUG. Surgical and medical management strategies, such as valve ablation and the use of alpha-blockers, will be thoroughly discussed. The long-term follow-up protocols, including the management of chronic kidney disease and monitoring of bladder function, will also be highlighted, ensuring that learners are well-equipped to handle the complexities of PUV from diagnosis through long-term care.
