Members of the Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met for 2½ days in conjunction with the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Boston, Massachusetts, October 6 to October 8, 1990. The meeting was presided over by Chairperson David T. Mininberg of Cornell University, New York. The papers presented at this meeting that are of interest to the practicing pediatrician are summarized here according to topic. The Pediatric Urology Medal, awarded to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the field of pediatric urology, was presented to Dr Frank Hinman, Jr. of the University of California. San Francisco. Dr Hinman was recognized for his many years of work dedicated to improving the urologic care of children. A foremost clinician, teacher, and researcher, he has contributed particularly to the understanding of urinary tract infections and bladder dysfunction in children, particularly those children who have "Hinman Syndrome," the non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder. Dr Hinman has been a strong advocate for the specialized urologic care of children for many years. GENITOURINARY NEOPLASMS Wilms' tumor is one disease in which there has been impressive progress in recent years, particularly with the advent of effective chemotherapy that has enabled these children to have increased disease-free survival. Montgomery and co-workers from the Mayo Clinic reviewed the experience of patients with bilateral Wilms' tumor during the past 16 years. Ten-year survival was 69%. Seventy-five percent of the failures resulted from recurrent disease (which generally occurred early), and 25% resultes from treatment complications.

Summary of the Meeting, Oct 22-27, 1983 Received for publication Feb 27, 1984; accepted March 8, 1984. This summary of our proceedings is prepared for the practicing pediatrician, who often finds it impossible to attend all the sessions going on simultaneously at the annual meeting. The Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met for three days in conjunction with the 52nd annual meeting of the Academy in San Francisco, and many topics of interest to both pediatricians and urologists were discussed. This summary will only include those papers. Papers dealing with particular surgical techniques will not be included, except when they have bearing on the ultimate management of particular problems that may be of interest to the practicing pediatrician. As has been customary in the past, the section meeting was topic oriented; this year stressed current research interests in pediatric urology. These topics included vesicoureteral reflux, prenatal ultrasound and renal dysplasia, urinary diversion, disorders of the testis, adjunctive diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of ureteral obstruction, and current status of management of posterior urethral valves. VESICOURETAL REFLUX Vesicoureteral reflux, despite its prevalence and voluminous literature, continues at times to present a management dilemma. One of the continuing problems facing the clinician is the observation that many children are seen for evaluation with about as much parenchymal atrophy as they seem likely to get. Studies by Ransley1 and Hodson et al2 have proposed that certain areas of the kidney are more vulnerable to parenchymal atrophy because of the presence of intrarenal reflux and that in the presence of infection and vesicoureteral reflux, these particular areas scar quickly and severely.

The Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met for 2½ days in conjunction with the 61st annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in San Francisco, CA, October 10 through 12, 1992. As in the recent past, this conference was one of the premiere conferences for pediatric urology throughout the world. Participation was international and more than 500 individuals attended the sessions. The presiding officer for the meeting was Dr Edmond Gonzales, Jr, of Baylor College of Medicine, Scott Department of Urology, Houston, TX. All papers presented at the meeting are summarized in the following review, which is organized according to topic. TESTIS Several papers were presented by the group led by Hutson from Melbourne concerning the relationship of various substances to the gubernaculum and testicular descent. Their presentations stressed the importance of calcitonin gene-related peptide as a mediator in testicular descent by its relationship to the gubernaculum. Huff described a failure of maturation of Ad spermatogonia in undescended testes when compared to their normally descended partners. These changes were noted before the end of the first year of life. Hadziselimovic and Bica from Basel and Rio de Janeiro investigated the effects of hormonal treatment on the undescended gonad. Low-dose luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone increased both serum follicle-stimulating hormone and the number of Sertoli cells in cryptorchid testes. Human chorionic gonadotropin administration, on the other hand, induced Sertoli cell damage, which was reversed by the addition of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone. Choi et al from the Seoul National University Children's Hospital looked at the effects of testicular torsion and subsequent detorsion on the contralateral testicle in rats.

Endowment Fund

In 1975 The Memorial and Endowment Fund for Children of the American Academy of Pediatrics very kindly made me one of its first grant recipients for a research project performed in an office practice setting. Dr. Gerald Hughes of the Academy invited several of us so favored to present the results of our sudies at the annual meeting in New York in November 1977. Since my report1 had just been published in Pediatrics, I summarized it rather briefly and then moved on to discuss the larger subject of doing clinical research in office practice. It seemed possible that those remarks, slightly expanded, might be of interest to some who were not present at that meeting. There has been very little written on this matter.
