ABU Pediatric Urology study plan

Classify congenital upper and lower urinary tract anomalies by embryologic mechanism and describe the expected imaging appearance of each

Compare renal ultrasound, VCUG, DMSA, and MAG3 for the evaluation of antenatally detected hydronephrosis, stating the specific question each study answers

Explain the Society for Fetal Urology grading of hydronephrosis and apply it to determine which patients need further imaging

Outline the initial evaluation and timing of surgical referral for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, primary megaureter, and ureterocele

Differentiate hypospadias severity and describe the staged approach to repair, including timing and chordee assessment

Compare the embryology, presentation, and operative management of undescended testis, hydrocele, and inguinal hernia

Describe the classification and surgical repair options for disorders of sex development, including the role of the multidisciplinary team and gonadal preservation

Explain the evaluation of ambiguous genitalia in the newborn, including which tests are urgent

Interpret second- and third-trimester ultrasound findings that suggest obstructive uropathy and identify which warrant prenatal intervention

Describe the indications, technique, and complications of vesicoamniotic shunting and fetal cystoscopy

Explain the postnatal workup and timing of surgery for posterior urethral valves, including the role of the voiding cystourethrogram

Summarize the long-term renal and bladder outcomes of antenatally diagnosed obstructive uropathy

Differentiate non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction subtypes (dysfunctional voiding, urge syndrome, underactive bladder, voiding postponement) using history and uroflow patterns

Apply the ICCS terminology for lower urinary tract function in children to a set of clinical vignettes

Design a behavioral and bowel-bladder retraining program for a child with daytime incontinence and constipation

Explain the urodynamic findings that distinguish neurogenic detrusor overactivity from poor compliance in a child with spina bifida

Compare the presentation, imaging workup, and staging of Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma in children

Describe the surgical principles of radical nephrectomy for Wilms tumor and the role of preoperative chemotherapy in bilateral disease

Explain the management of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder and prostate, including the role of biopsy and organ-sparing strategies

Outline the surveillance imaging schedule and indications for repeat imaging after pediatric urologic malignancy treatment

Describe the initial evaluation and grading of renal, ureteral, and bladder trauma in children, including the role of CT versus ultrasound

Explain the management of urethral injury and the indications for suprapubic drainage versus primary repair

Outline the evaluation and treatment of febrile urinary tract infection in infants, including when to obtain imaging and how to interpret the results

Describe the diagnosis and management of acute scrotum, including testicular torsion, epididymitis, and torsion of the appendix testis

Explain the approach to recurrent urinary tract infection and vesicoureteral reflux, including antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical indications

Describe the metabolic evaluation of pediatric stone disease and identify the most common metabolic abnormalities in children

Compare shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy for pediatric stone management, including size and location criteria

Explain renal physiology in the neonate and infant, including glomerular filtration rate maturation and tubular function

Outline the indications for and complications of pediatric renal transplantation, including the role of the urologist in pretransplant evaluation

Describe the evaluation and management of hypertension in children with renal or urologic disease

Complete a full-length timed practice examination under test conditions

Review every missed question and categorize the error by domain and by knowledge gap versus reasoning error

Revisit the two weakest domains from the practice exam and write a targeted review summary for each

Rehearse high-yield differential diagnoses and management algorithms across all ten domains
