SIU PEDIATRIC AND TRANSITIONAL UROLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE
Posterior Urethral Valves Webinar
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are severe conditions that can lead to progressive damage to kidney function and long-term risk of end-stage disease. PUV is the most common form of congenital urinary outflow obstruction with wide geographic, ethnic, and therapeutic variations globally that need to be addressed.
Improving the current understanding of embryologic development, risk factors, and long-term evolution is critical to guide treatment decision-making for patients with posterior urethral valves. Our distinguished panel of experts convenes to address major questions on this important topic:
- What are the challenges of of managing posterior urethral valves in daily urology practices worldwide?
- Are there any breakthrough developments in posterior urethral valves research?
- What are the gaps that need to be addressed in management and transitional care?
