Carmen Tong, D.O., is the director of robotic surgery at Children's of Alabama and Associate Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). On this episode of PedsCast, Dr. Tong discusses a quality improvement (QI) project on adherence to follow-up after kidney stone surgery in children. This QI project investigates the association between demographic factors and stone presentation characteristics to see if certain populations are more likely to come back for their postoperative visit. Long term follow up is important for pediatric kidney stones, because first time stone formers are 50% more likely to form stones in the first 3 years.
