ABSTRACT
A urethral dysuria cystograph (CUMS (Cistografia Ureteral Miccional Seriada)) is the first diagnostic procedure, by means of x-rays, to evaluate bladder-urethral reflux. It consists of a bladder catheter to administer a radiopaque contrast dye through the ureter. To use the aforementioned technique without any asepsis measures and without knowledge about it can lead to possible complications. By means of a retrospective study using a sample of 181 patients, the authors have evaluated the incidence of possible complications and/or subsequent discomfort due to a urethral dysuria cystograph (CUMS). As final results, by means of an after test telephone call, the authors observed that 96.7% of the children who underwent this technique did not manifest any type of complication nor urinary discomfort.

La CUMS (Cistografía Ureteral Miccional Seriada) es el primer procedimiento diagnóstico, por rayos X, para la evaluación del reflujo vesicoureteral. Consiste en un sondaje vesical para administrar un contraste radiopaco a través de la uretra. Realizar dicha técnica sin unas medidas de asepsia y sin conocimientos de la misma puede dar lugar a posibles complicaciones. Mediante un estudio retrospectivo, con una muestra de 181 pacientes, se ha valorado la incidencia de posibles complicaciones y/o molestias posteriores a una CUMS. Como resultados finales, a través de una llamada telefónica tras la prueba, se ha observado que en el 96,7% de los niños no se ha manifestado ningún tipo de complicación, ni molestia urinaria(AU)
