Con frecuencia se califica a la uretrocistografía miccional (UCG) como un examen doloroso y mal tolerado por los niños, lo que resulta discordante con la experiencia de los autores. Objetivo: Evaluar la percepción de los padres de las UCG efectuadas a sus hijos, antes y después del examen. Durante el año 2009, en el Servicio de Radiología de Clínica Las Condes, se solicitó a los padres contestar anónimamente una encuesta que incluía: edad y sexo del niño, especialidad médico solicitante, información recibida respecto del examen, explicitar expectativas antes del examen y opinión posterior. Se evaluaron 86 encuestas; edades: 1 mes a 8 años; 52,3 por ciento (45) niñas y 47,7 por ciento (41) varones; pediatra deriva 59 por ciento y nefrólogo 33 por ciento; 20 por ciento no recibió información del solicitante. Antes del examen: 2,3 por ciento como una visita al pediatra, 26,7 por ciento molesto, 16,3 por ciento un poco doloroso, 21 por ciento doloroso y 33,7 por ciento agresivo/terrible. Después de la UCG: 24,4 por ciento como una visita al pediatra, 45,3 por ciento molesto, 22,1 por ciento un poco doloroso, 4,7 por ciento doloroso y 3,5 por ciento agresivo/terrible. Post-examen: 66 por ciento mejora la percepción, 29 por ciento mantiene y 5 por ciento empeora.
