ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic partial excision of the cyst wall combined with internal inguinal ring repair in the treatment of pediatric abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH). 【Methods】 Clinical data of 12 ASH children treated during Mar.2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical manifestations, preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative findings, and postoperative results. 【Results】 A preoperative diagnosis of ASH was made in 9 cases. In the other 3 cases, ASH was detected during laparoscopic repair of the hydrocele. The opening of the internal inguinal ring was wide and cavernous, and patent processus vaginalis (PPV)was detectedin all cases. Contralateral pathologies were detected in 5 cases, including hydrocele in 4 and inguinal hernia in 1. All patients received laparoscopic partial excision of the cyst wall combined with internal inguinal ring repair. During the follow-up of 6-37 months, no recurrence of ASH or ipsilateral hernias occurred, and no testicular atrophy was observed. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic partial excision of the cyst wall combined with internal inguinal ring repair is effective, safe and feasible in the treatment of the pediatric ASH.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the corrective effect of modified Brisson technique to treat concealed penis in children.@*Methods@#From July 2015 to July 2017, 32 patients(3-10 years old, mean 7.2 years old )with concealed penis were treated with the modified Brisson technique in the Children′s Hospital of Zhengzhou University. All the children with concealed penis were treated by the modified Brisson technique, complications, postoperative results and followed-ups were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#32 cases of concealed penile children had pain on the postoperative day, 2 cases required patient controlled analgesia device. No infection and dehiscence were noticed after discharge. All the children were followed up for 6 months to 1 year, and the results were satisfactory. Review showed that the penile body was similar to the appearance after circumcision, with obvious extension exposure, normal exposure of penile scrotal Angle and penile pubic Angle, and no obvious retraction. The internal plate of the prepuce in 5 cases was slightly edema, and edema dissolved within 2 months.@*Conclusions@#Modified Brisson is a better method to treat concealed penis in children, which can correct the pathological structure and retain the integrity of penile skin to the greatest extent.
