The 2 main approaches to correct severe ventral curvature are dorsal plication of the corpora and corporeal lengthening by tunica albuginea patching. Controversy persists since neither technique has been proved be superior other with respect initial or long-term outcome. However, our knowledge a direct comparison outcome these procedures not previously reported.A retrospective review records 100 consecutive patients who underwent repair penoscrotal more proximal defects from 1996 2004 was...

Background: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardants found in North American household products during the past four decades. These chemicals leach out dust as age, exposing individuals daily through inhalation and ingestion. Animal studies suggest that PBDEs disrupt sex hormones adversely affect development of reproductive system. Objectives: In present study, we examined whether there is a link between maternal hair PBDE concentrations risk cryptorchidism (undescended...
There is ongoing controversy regarding optimal treatment for severe ventral curvature. It has been suggested that corporeal lengthening may be associated with recurrent curvature and erectile dysfunction. To further assess these issues we reviewed our experience penile correcting the proximal hypospadias.We records of 38 boys hypospadias congenital greater than 45 degrees who were treated at institution from 1995 to 2004 placement a flap or graft in bodies straighten phallus. Of patients 21...
Prescrotal orchiopexy is emerging as an alternative surgical approach to undescended testicles. We compare operative times, success rates and complications of single incision prescrotal the traditional inguinal approach.During a 3-year period all patients who underwent were retrospectively reviewed compared age matched controls operated on via approach. Data collected included preoperative postoperative testicular positioning, time complications, including atrophy ascent. Exclusion criteria...

There is a paucity of literature on factors associated with testicular atrophy following second stage laparoscopic Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy. We hypothesized that dissection long looping vas during this procedure could compromise blood supply, leading to atrophy.Following an initial vessel ligation, orchiopexy was performed in 73 testes (laparoscopic 61, open 12). The presence noted from the first operative notes. Doppler ultrasound postoperatively confirm atrophy.Atrophy rate at mean...
To determine the incidence of and evaluate potential risk a symptomatic perinephric hematoma (PNH) after shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) with Storz Modulith SLX-F2 device.Patient treatment-related data from 6172 SWL treatments for proximal ureteral kidney stones were collected prospectively April 2006 to August 2010. Patients in whom signs or symptoms PNH developed investigated imaging studies. Each patient identified was matched four controls using sex, age (±5 years), rate, energy number, no...
Objective: To compare trends and incidence of surgical intervention among adults with urolithiasis in Ontario, Canada, Israel. Patients methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using administrative databases from Clalit Health Service Israel IC/ES Canada. The study included who underwent their initial treatment for urolithiasis. Descriptive statistics summarized baseline patient demographics, while comparisons were analyzed a t -test. Results: Between 2003 2018, 31,034 105,013...
Bladder decompensation is well described following artificial urinary sphincter implantation in neurogenic bladders. We evaluated the long-term results of various bladder outlet procedures a subset patients with and isolated deficiency.We retrospectively reviewed charts 15 consecutive who underwent during 10-year period for incontinence associated neuropathic dysfunction. Postoperative success was defined as dry interval at least 4 hours.Preoperative evaluation showed smooth 11...
Urinary continence after cloacal repair is difficult to achieve and renal outcome in patients with malformations has been scarcely reported. As a result, we reviewed our experience determine the status of long-term function these children.A retrospective chart review from 1990 2003 identified 12 malformation (1 posterior, 4 complex 7 classical) who underwent surgical reconstruction. The confluence was defined as high (common channel >/= 3 cm) low (< by cystovaginoscopy. Renal ultrasound,...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the degree of preoperative bladder trabeculation in neurogenic (NB) patients is a marker significant outlet resistance. If so, severe may obviate need for concomitant procedure (BOP) during augmentation cystoplasty (AC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 48 incontinent with NB who had surgery. The were divided into two groups: group 1 (23 patients) AC alone; 2 (10) BOP. Children BOP alone (15) excluded from study. Success was defined as dry period...
