Study of post procedural complications associated with voiding cystourethrography

  • “The procedure is relatively simple, but it involves discomfort and some complications. We studied post procedural symptoms and complications in children who underwent VCUG.”

  • “Our study demonstrated that 32.7% of patients showed complications, including [urinary] bladder rupture and urinary tract infection [UTI] after VCUG. We also found that prophylactic antibiotic use did not prevent urinary tract infection nor decrease the rate of complications associated with VCUG.”

  • “Therefore, we suggest that the procedure must be done carefully and we should closely observe the children who undergo VCUG for development of possible complications.”
