Does marginalization status and distance from the hospital impact the timing of pediatric pyeloplasty in a universal access-to-care system Open
Introduction: Prior research in the U.S. suggests that marginalized populations tend to undergo pyeloplasty earlier, likely reflecting concerns about the challenges of reliable followup care in this population. This study assessed the effe…
