| Popis: | Uretrocystography in Children: Parents' Perception Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) has been usually consider as a painful and badly tolerated procedure in children. This opinion is not agree with local experience of the authors. Objective: To evaluate the parent's perception about VCUG in children before and after the procedure. Methods: In 2009, parents of children who came to Radiology Department for a VCUG completed an anonymous survey, including age and sex of their children, physician referent specialty, information received about the exam, expectation before and opinion after the procedure. Results: During 12 months 86 surveys were evaluated; patient's age was ranged between 1 month to 8 years with 52.3% (45) girls and 47.7% (41) males. Patients were referred from general pediatric in 59% or nephrology practice in 33%; 20% of the patients did not receive any information about the procedure before. About the expectation of VCUG, previous the exam, parents considered the examination as a pediatri- cian visit in 2.3%, uncomfortable in 26.7%, a little painful in 16.3%, painful in 21% and aggressive or terrible in 33.7%. After the examination, parents' opinion was: 24.4% as a pediatrician visit, 45.3% uncomfortable, 22.1% a little painful, 4.7% painful and 3.5% aggressive or terrible. The global parents' perception about VCUG after the exam improved in 66% cases, did not change in 29% and went worse in 5%. Conclusion: Parent's perception about VCUG in children signifi cantly improves after the procedure; in 91.8% the examina- tion was considered uncomfortable or only a little painful.
