ABSTRACT
Aims & Objectives:About 10% of pelvic fracture injuries are associated with urethral injury. Most of the urethral injuries are successfully repaired by progressive perineal anastomotic urethroplasty. Bulbar urethral ischemic necrosis is a devastating complication seen in 5-8% of failed PFUI repairs. The objective of this study is to present our experience in management of a bulbar urethral ischemic necrosis developed following PFUI repair. Materials & methods:This is a retrospective study done at our institute, which includes data from feb,2003 to feb,2021. This is a descriptive statical analysis. Total 18 patients were managed using various surgical approaches and followed. Out of 18 patients seven patients underwent staged urethroplasty with Results & Observations: success rate of 85.71%,four underwent pedicled preputial skin tube urethroplasty with success rate of 75%,one underwent non transecting augmented urethroplasty with success rate of 100%,three underwent augmented perineal urethrostomy, two underwent continent diversion procedures, one underwent augmented perineal skin tube perineal urethrostomy. Bulbar urethral ischemic necrosi Conclusions: s following PFUI repair although uncommon, is a devastating complication which can be salvaged by various surgical techniques. Type of procedure chosen depends on individual patient and outcomes vary for each type of procedure
ABSTRACT
Urological pathologies especially stricture urethra are a cause of significant morbidity and hence radiological evaluation of the same is of prime importance to determine the treatment protocol for each disease. A retrospective analysis of the conventional radiographic imaging findings of traumatic and nontraumatic lower urinary tract pathologies was done over a period of 5 years, and the case spectrum included urethral and bladder diverticulum, urethritis, posterior urethral valves, and fistulas (including urethra - perineal, rectourethral and vesicovaginal fistulas). The rarer nontraumatic pathologies were prostatic utricles, urethral polyps, bladder neck obstruction, hypospadias, anterior urethral valve, vesical calculus, etc., The traumatic case spectrum included cases of urethral injuries and intra/extraperitoneal bladder rupture. This pictorial assay reviews the need of retrograde urethrogram–micturating cystourethrogram for the evaluation of the anterior urethral, posterior urethral and bladder pathologies (traumatic and nontraumatic) and also describes each pathology with respect to etiology, diagnosis and imaging findings.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: La displasia renal multiquística (DRM) unilateral es una malformación frecuentemente encontrada en el ultrasonido obstétrico. En Colombia no existen publicaciones sobre las características clínicas y el comportamiento de esta enfermedad que permitan sugerir el tipo de estudios que se deben practicar en la fase inicial y en el seguimiento de estos niños. Objetivos: Describir las características clínicas de 40 pacientes con DRM unilateral con énfasis en la evaluación del riñón contralateral (RC) con respecto a sus funciones, tamaño y frecuencia de malformación urológicas asociadas. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo de pacientes menores de 18 años con diagnósticos pre o postnatales de DRM unilateral, atendidos en la consulta externa de nefrología pediátrica del Hospital Infantil Club Noel entre julio de 1997 y diciembre de 2007. Resultados: Se encontraron 40 pacientes. En ellos 88% el diagnóstico se hizo antes de nacer; 55% eran de sexo masculino, con una edad promedio al ingreso de 2 meses (rangos, 1 y 42 meses). En el RC se descubrió hidronefrosis (HN) en 2 casos (5%) y reflujo vesicoureteral (RVU) grados I yII en 3 casos (9%). El cálculo de la filtración glomerular fluctuó entre 81 ml/min/1.73 y 193 ml/min/1.73 (media, 105). Sólo uno de los 38 renogramas fue anormal e informó la presencia de una cicatriz renal. En el control ecográfico de 31 pacientes los quistes desaparecieron en 13 y persistían en 18, con una media de 60 meses (rango, 24 y 132 meses). El tiempo de seguimiento promedio fue 60 meses con un rango entre 15 y 132 meses. Conclusiones: En este grupo de pacientes se encontró buen pronóstico del RC: ninguno presentó disminución de la filtración glomerular y la frecuencia de malformaciones urológicas como la HN y el RVU fue muy baja. El ultrasonido renal (UR) es indispensable en la evaluación inicial y seguimiento de los casos.
Introduction: The multicystic dysplastic kidney (MDK) is a frequent malformation discovered in obstetrical ultrasound. In Colombia, there are no publications on clinical characteristics and follow up studies suggesting initial evaluation and follow up in these children. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics of 40 patients with unilateral MDK, with emphasis in the evaluation of the contra-lateral kidney (CK) regarding function, size, and associated urological malformations. Methodology: A review of cases of patients under 18 years of age with prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of unilateral MDK that attended the Pediatric Nephrology outpatient clinic at Hospital Infantil Club Noel in the city of Cali from July 1997 to December 2007. Results: A total of 40 patients were found. In 88% of these, diagnosis of unilateral MDK was done prenatally; of these, 55% were males with a mean age of 2 months of age (range 1 to 42 months). Evaluation of contra-lateral kidney showed: hydronephrosis (HN) in 2 cases (5%), vesicouretheral reflux (VUR) grades I and II in 3 cases (9%). Glomerular filtration fluctuated between 81 ml/min/1.73 and 193 ml/min/1.73 (mean 105). Radioisotope renography was performed in 38 patients and only one patient was reported with renal scar. Follow up with renal ultrasound revealed that renal cysts disappeared in 13 patients and persisted in 18 with a media of 60 months (range 15 to 132 months). Conclusions: In this group of patients, a good prognosis of the CK was found: none presented decline of the glomerular filtration rate and frequency of urological malformations as HN and VUR was very low.
