The highlights:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Testicular torsion is an emergency, and ultrasound should be performed when this is suspected. If the symptoms are highly suggestive call urology even with a normal ultrasound* It is suggested that urology is contacted before performing any repair of a laceration that is more than superficial.* Pediatric patients that develop epididymitis in the absence of sexual activity should be referred to urology, as this is unusual and may indicate an anatomic abnormality.* Dr. Davis feels that any patient with complex urogenital anatomy, indwelling catheters, or a surgically created catheterizable tract should NOT have antibiotics started for UTI without contacting their primary urologist.<br> <br> <br> <br> Guests<br> <br> <br> <br> Tanya Davis MD, Clinical Instructor, Department of Urology, Children’s National Health System<br> <br> <br> <br> Pediatric Urologist, Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group<br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
