Improved Continence: The injection of bulking agents can significantly
improve urinary continence, reducing the need for protective garments and increasing participation in social and physical activities [–].
Minimally Invasive: Bulking agent injections are less invasive compared to
other surgical options, leading to shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort.
• Negative Aspects:
Variable Efficacy: The effectiveness of bulking agents can vary, and multiple
injections may be necessary to achieve the desired level of continence. The improvements may not be permanent.
Need for Repeat Procedures: As the effects diminish over time, repeat injec-
tions may be necessary, which can be inconvenient and stressful for the child and caregivers.
. Sling surgery
Positive Aspects: Improved continence rates and enhanced quality of life,
especially in patients with stress urinary incontinence. The procedure can significantly reduce leakage and the need for protective wear [–].
Negative Aspects: Potential surgical complications, including infection or
mesh-related issues. Further surgeries or interventions may be required if initial results are not satisfactory.
. Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS)
• Positive Aspects:
High Continence Rates: AUS can achieve high continence rates, significantly
reducing episodes of incontinence. This leads to major improvements in social, emotional, and psychological well-being, allowing pediatric patients to participate more fully in daily activities without the constant worry of incon­tinence [–].
Improved Self-Esteem and Social Integration: With better continence control,
children often experience enhanced self-esteem and confidence, facilitating better integration into social and school environments, and improving overall quality of life.
• Negative Aspects:
Surgical and Device-Related Complications: The implantation of an AUS
involves risks such as infection, device erosion, and malfunction. These complications can necessitate additional surgeries, which can be stressful for both the child and family.

Maintenance and Follow-Up: The AUS requires regular follow-up to ensure
proper functioning and to monitor for potential complications. This ongoing medical attention can be burdensome due to the frequent visits and possible adjustments or replacements of the device.
. Augmentation cystoplasty
• Positive Aspects: Significant improvements in bladder capacity and reduction in
urinary incontinence can enhance social interactions, school performance, and self-esteem [, , , –].
• Negative Aspects: Long-term issues such as metabolic complications, frequent
urinary tract infections, and the need for regular follow-up can affect quality of life. Additionally, there may be concerns related to dietary restrictions and potential bowel issues.
. Conclusions
The management of neurogenic bladder in young patients, whether congeni­tal or acquired early in childhood, presents significant challenges for urologists. Conservative treatments such as pharmacotherapy, intermittent catheterization, and infection prophylaxis are typically employed. Monitoring the efficacy of these treatments is conducted through urine tests and regular urodynamic and sonographic examinations. The primary treatment goals include stabilizing renal function, ensur­ing unobstructed urine drainage, and preventing infection (the use of an oral autoim­mune vaccine could be helpful). However, as patients transition to adolescence, issues such as compliance with medical treatment and follow-up examinations may become more complex, influenced by factors like the severity of the neurological defect and the patient’s evolving preferences [, , ].
When conservative treatments fail, bladder augmentation is a common procedure, often combined with continence procedures. Despite these interventions, inconti­nence remains a persistent problem for a significant portion of patients[,].
A multidisciplinary team, including pediatricians, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and urologists, collaborates to comprehensively assess and treat patients. This approach takes into account factors such as renal function, bladder capacity, and continence [, , , ].

While challenges such as incontinence and bowel dysfunction persist, advances in surgical techniques and patient management strategies have led to improved outcomes and quality of life for young patients with neurogenic bladder undergoing continent urinary diversion. Long-term follow-up and comprehensive multidisci­plinary care remain essential for optimizing outcomes and addressing the evolving needs of these patients (Figures –) [, , , –].

Inguinal Hernia in Children:
70
A Literature Review
Chapter 4
ErickFeliz
A hernia is described as the bulging out of the abdominal viscera, often resulting from a weakening of the walls of the abdomen. This condition is diverse and includes femoral hernias, indirect inguinal hernias, and direct hernias. Of these, indirect inguinal hernias, which lie lateral to the inferior epicastric vessels, are the commonest in children as they are due to the patency of processus vaginalis. The incidence is esti­mated to be 1–3% in full-term neonates and up to 30% in premature infants. In males, the lifetime incidence of inguinal hernia is thought to occur at a rate as high as almost 5%. The diagnosis relies on history and physical examination. The gold approach to inguinal hernia repair is open inguinal hernia repair. Despite this, more and more patients are opting for laparoscopic procedures since they allow for a more thorough examination and treatment of both sides in a single appointment, instant closure of any uncommon hernias or open contralateral patent process vaginalis found during the surgery, and overall less invasiveness. Furthermore, robotic-assisted approach is arising as a new option for inguinal hernia repair in children.

. Introduction
Nowadays, inguinal hernias arise as a concern in pediatric surgery. It is characterized by the bulging out of the abdominal viscera, often resulting from a weakening of the walls of the abdomen. Nevertheless, this condition has been described since ancient times. In fact, the Ebers Papyrus, dating back to around 1550BC, was one of the earliest medical texts to name it [1, 2].
This papyrus suggests that Pharaoh Amenophis died of a strangulated hernia. Despite not having a wide comprehension of the pathology, they reported recommen­dations such as a diet and external compression of the hernia with bandages and palm oil. However, the Egyptian surgeons thought all the hernias, except the inguinal scro­tal variety that was treated with orchiectomy, were treated nonsurgically; even the strangulated hernias were considered inoperable. The Pharaoh Merneptah mummy had an incision over his inguinal region with one testicle removed, and the mummy of Ramses the 5th (1157BC) had a huge hernia sac in the groin with a fecal fistula [1].
Ancient Greek medicine evolved with Hippocrates from the prescientific phase, linked to magical religious practices to a rational and scientific methodology [1].
