Perioperative Risk Factors for Major Complications in Pediatric Surgery: A Study in Surgical Risk Assessment for Children
Aaron C. Weinberg,Lin Huang,Hongyu Jiang,Bradford Tinloy,Mordechai D. Raskas,Frank J. Penna,Drew A. Freilich,Helena B. Buonfiglio,Alan B. Retik,Hiep T. Nguyen +9 more
TL;DR: 5 patient-specific parameters that were independent risk factors for major complications or death after pediatric surgery are found, and future prospective studies will help to fully stratify risk and guide interventions to improve postoperative outcomes.

The effectiveness of aerosolized intraperitoneal bupivacaine in reducing postoperative pain in children undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty
Drew A. Freilich,Constance S. Houck,Petra M. Meier,Carlo C. Passerotti,Alan B. Retik,Hiep T. Nguyen +5 more
TL;DR: The administration of intraperitoneal aerosolized bupivacaine just prior to incising the perirenal fascia appears to be a simple, effective and low-cost method to reduce postoperative pain in children undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty.

Concurrent management of bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery
TL;DR: Simultaneous bilateral robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasties utilizing 4-port access is feasible and safe and provides an effective method of managing patients with bilateral UPJ obstruction, avoiding the burden and morbidity of performing staged surgeries.
Identifying Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction by Fluorescence Imaging: A Comparative Study of Imaging Modalities to Assess Renal Function and Degree of Obstruction in a Mouse Model
Frank J. Penna,Jeanne S. Chow,Brian J. Minnillo,Carlo C. Passerotti,Carol E. Barnewolt,S. Ted Treves,Fred H. Fahey,Patricia Dunning,Drew A. Freilich,Alan B. Retik,Hiep T. Nguyen +10 more
TL;DR: Fluorescence imaging is a feasible alternative radiological imaging modality to diagnose ureteropelvic junction obstruction and provides continuous, detailed imaging without the risk of radiation exposure.

Outcomes of treatment of stress urinary incontinence associated with female urethral diverticula: A selective approach
Alyssa Greiman,Lauren Rittenberg,Drew A. Freilich,Ross Rames,Ahmed El-Zawahry,Michelle Koski,Eric S. Rovner +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used autologous pubovaginal slings (APVS) in conjunction with transvaginal urethral diverticulectomy (TVUD) to assess surgical outcomes of concomitant treatment of SUI at time of TVUD based on a selective approach.
