There aren’t many true emergencies in my field of pediatric urology, but torsion of the testicle is one of the more common ones that I face on a regular basis. Unfortunately, my experience is that most people are unaware of the issue, even though it can happen in 1 in 4,000 males under age 25. Testis torsion can occur at any age, including adults or even before birth, but it is most common in newborns and teenagers....

Esophageal manometry is used to study how the esophagus (swallowing tube) is working. The child is awake for this test. A small tube (catheter) is passed through the nose and into the esophagus.

The catheter is attached to a computer that records the strength and coordination of muscle contractions in the esophagus that occur with these swallows....

Diagnosis VPD may be caused by a relatively short soft palate, poor palate function, or both....

Many patients with facial differences, including cleft lip and palate, have changes to their jaws that result in the top jaw being behind the bottom jaw, resulting in an underbite.

Bollard plates are small metal plates which are screwed (anchored) into the upper and lower jaw bones. They are used for a short period of time, along with rubber bands, to help slowly move the upper jaw into a better position....
