Plication techniques are not a panacea for deformities associated with Peyronie's disease or congenital curvature. However, they do provide certain advantages, both theoretic and real, over competing procedures such as grafting. Depending on the technique, plication have minimal risk of de novo erectile dysfunction, injury to dorsal neurovascular bundle, may be used variety angulation deformities, including multiplanar curvature severe degrees A incisions used, classic circumcision degloving...
Patients with neurogenic bladder frequently also have bowel dysfunction and a simultaneous urologic colorectal reconstruction is possible. We present our experience combined reconstructive procedures using robot-assisted laparoscopy, demonstrate the utility of minimally invasive approach that considers both management these patients.We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent at institution since start multidisciplinary robotic program.Seven were identified in cohort mean age 6.4...
Aim of the study: Many patients with an anorectal malformation (ARM) or pelvic anomaly have associated urologic gynecologic problems. We hypothesized that our multidisciplinary center, which integrates pediatric colorectal, urologic, and GI motility services, could impact a patient's anesthetic exposures hospital visits. Methods: tabulated during 2015 anesthetic/surgical events, endotracheal intubations, clinic/hospital visits for all having combined procedure. Main results: Eighty two...
We assessed the probability of bladder augmentation/diversion and clean intermittent catheterization in classic exstrophy a multi-institutional cohort.We included children born from 1980 to 2016 with treated across 5 centers (exclusion criteria less than 1 year followup after birth, isolated epispadias, variants etc). Outcomes were closure proportion patients performing at last followup. Survival analysis was used.Of 216 63.4% male (median 14.4 years). Overall 4 (1.9%) underwent primary...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the sexual and reproductive health education received by patients with myelomeningocele, most severe form of spina bifida. Method A survey designed to assess given a healthcare provider myelomeningocele was offered all English‐speaking aged 12 years or older clinic visit. Results In total, 67 surveys were completed. Menstruation menstrual management discussed at rate 85% in females. Few had discussions about fertility (42%), sexuality (37%), risk sexually transmitted...
The absence of sperm in the ejaculate after vasectomy reversal is commonly caused by failure to recognize and subsequently bypass epididymal or proximal vasal obstruction at time reversal. If intra-operative suspected, vasoepididymostomy (VE) recommended rather than vasovasostomy (VV). We sought calculate associated risk needing VE, VV with from original (obstructive interval) using a large cohort patients. reviewed electronic paper database single surgeon 1978 through 2012. performed...
This study investigated whether boys with balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) have increased rates of obesity compared no concern for BXO (NCB). Boys ≤18 years old circumcision pathology–confirmed were an age-matched group who had NCB during circumcision. found to a mean body mass index 70.64 percentile age 52.43 in controls ( P = .0005). The rate was significantly higher (42%) 12.4% (odds ratio 5.12; 95% CI 2.6 10.06). Given the increasing childhood and long-term health consequences both...
BackgroundCloacal malformations are recognized as a particularly challenging congenital condition to manage and they present with wide spectrum of anatomical configurations making surgical repair very complicated. Urethral necrosis or urethral loss is known devastating complication cloacal repair. The these has evolved over time historically only common channel (CC) length was measured. More recently, it been advocated that the CC both important in determining purpose our study evaluate if...
