We characterized small intestinal submucosa regenerated canine bladder.We subjected 15-month bladder strips to in vitro muscle bath compliance, contractility testing and immunohistochemical staining.Compliance studies demonstrated no significant difference between control bladders, which were 30-fold more compliant than native submucosal graft material. Contractility contractile responses innervation similar those of normal bladder. Afferent nerves through techniques.These characteristics...
Obstruction of the upper urinary tract induces a progressive loss in renal mass through apoptotic cell death. Although TNF-alpha has been implicated ischemia-reperfusion-induced death, its role obstructive apoptosis remains unknown. To study this, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to left unilateral ureteral obstruction vs. sham operation. Twenty-four hours before surgery and every 84 h thereafter, received either vehicle or pegylated form soluble TNF receptor type 1 (PEG-sTNFR1). The...
Bladder augmentation has revolutionized the care of children with a neuropathic bladder but it remains major surgical procedure. However, need for subsequent surgery not been well defined in large series long-term followup.We retrospectively reviewed records first 500 augmentations performed from 1978 to 2003 at our institution. Charts were complications requiring additional surgery, including malignancy, perforation, repeat augmentation, bowel obstruction and calculi. Mean median followup...

Occult lesions of the spine in children are a rare but recognizable cause neurogenic dysfunction involving lower extremities, and urinary gastrointestinal tracts. We report preoperative postoperative urodynamic findings 40 with varying spinal abnormalities. Of these patients 28 were neonates or infants (average age 8.7 months) 12 older 11.7 years). Preoperative testing revealed normal function 18 (64 per cent) younger group contrast to 1 (8 group. 10 abnormal studies returned 6, while 2...
The spontaneous perforation of an augmented bladder is uncommon but serious complication. To our knowledge institution has the largest reported series augmentations. We examined data to determine incidence and delineate associated risk factors.We performed a retrospective chart review 500 augmentation procedures during preceding 25 years with minimum followup 2 years.Spontaneous perforations occurred in 43 patients (8.6%), for total 54 events. calculated was 0.0066 per augmentation-year at...
We previously reported that the self-reported amount of urinary incontinence is main predictor lower health related quality life in adults with spina bifida. In this study we sought to determine impact fecal on after correcting for incontinence.An international sample bifida was surveyed online 2013 2014. evaluated last 4 weeks using clean intervals (less than 1 day, 6 days, week or longer, no incontinence), (a lot, medium, a little none), number protective undergarments worn daily and...
Inadequate bladder emptying is a common urinary dysfunction in children. The role of alpha-blockers for managing outlet obstruction remains relatively unexplored Because the well established impact alpha-blocker therapy men, we investigated its use treating inadequate pediatric population.We treated 17 children 3 to 15 years old with documented poor various etiologies, including dysfunctional voiding, Hinman syndrome, lazy posterior urethral valves, myelomeningocele and prune-belly using...
Ischemia causes renal tubular cell loss through apoptosis; however, the mechanisms of this process remain unclear. Using epithelial line LLC-PK 1 , we developed a model simulated ischemia (SI) to investigate role p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA production, bioactivity, and apoptosis. Results demonstrate that 60 min SI induced maximal TNF-α production bioactivity. Furthermore, apoptosis at all substrate replacement time points examined, with...
Rather than resecting the distal spongiosum lateral to open urethra for hypospadias, we mobilized this tissue with urethral plate away from corpora cavernosa, subsequently wrapping it around various types of urethroplasty prevent fistula formation.The was preserved and used coverage in 25 hypospadias repairs 1 year. We initially applied manner when persisted as a pillar healthy erectile but later appeared more fibrous nature. The wrap cover urethroplasty, including advancement 6 cases,...
Bladder augmentation is now a commonly accepted treatment in children with neuropathic bladder and other anomalies. calculi have been reported third to half of pediatric patients after augmentation. We identify the incidence risk factors for stone formation large series augmentation.We reviewed records 286 who underwent between 1978 1994, assessed calculi, methods.Bladder developed 29 (10%) The type bowel used did not affect rate except stomach, which lead any case.
