Abstract

Percutaneous techniques offer several advantages over open surgery in the treatment of many pediatric genitourinary diseases. The pediatric interventionalist routinely treats patients with conscious sedation on an outpatient basis that would require general anesthesia and lengthy hospital admissions if treated surgically. The minimally invasive nature of percutaneous therapy also results in cost reduction. The outcomes of percutaneous techniques have now been established as equal to or better than the corresponding surgical technique in many instances. In spite of this, pediatric genitourinary intervention has grown relatively slowly over the past decade. Limited growth in this area is likely due to a variety of factors, especially the preference of urologists to perform combined percutaneous and surgical procedures in the operating room. Most referrals to pediatric interventional radiologists are cases which are difficult to treat operatively or with endoscopic techniques. Consequently, a minority of children are referred for routine procedures.
