Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and sibling uropathology.

Thirty-seven siblings of 20 probands with ureteropelvic junction obstruction were evaluated with an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) and a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). Fourteen of 37 (38 per cent) had uropathology and 13 of 14 (93 per cent) required some form of therapy. Fifty-five per cent of the families had an additional child with uropathology. The recommendation concluded from this and a previous study on reflux is that all siblings of children with uropathology be investigated with an IVP and VCUG regardless of age or sex.

Hypospadias.

The principles involved in the two techniques illustrated in this article are safe and effective. Complications can occur, as with any surgical procedure, but they can be minimized with careful attention to detail. In this, as in most discussions of technique, many small details are not included. Therefore, the reader is warned against embarking on repairs with the book in front of him in the operating room. The illustrations serve only as a guide and offer various degrees of assistance, depending upon the amount of the surgeon's experience. The list of references that follows is a fascinating tour of the development of hypospadias surgery, and is recommended reading.

Sibling uropathology.

Of 197 sibships that were evaluated 47.6 per cent, excluding the probands, had undiagnosed uropathology. When the proband had reflux 26.5 per cent of the asymptomatic siblings also had reflux, When the proband had a uropathology other than reflux 13.2 per cent of the siblings had reflux and 46 per cent had other abnormalities.
