COMPLICATIONS OF VOIDING CYSTOURETHROGRAPHY IN THE EVALUATION OF INFANTS WITH PRENATALLY DETECTED HYDRONEPHROSIS

Abstract

While the reported rate of new or recurrent infection associated with voiding cystourethrography is as high as 6%, we did not identify any infectious or other complications in infants undergoing voiding cystourethrography for prenatal hydronephrosis. When properly performed, we believe that voiding cystourethrography is safe and presents little risk in these patients.
