ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical features and treatment strategy of congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula.Methods:A total of 7 cases with congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula were repaired by surgery between January 2006 and February 2019 in Affiliated Children’s Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University. The median age was 30 (18-92) months. All of cases had a intact prepucs and a normal external urethal meatus located at the tip of glans. Fistula located at subcoronal culus in 2 cases, midshaft in 3 cases, penioscrotal region in 1 case, scrotum in 1 case, respectively.Defect longitudinal diameter was 0.5-1.5cm. Associated anomalies including division of scrotum in 3 cases, penile chordee in 2 cases, urethral meatus stenosis in 1 case, right hydrocele in 1 case. Six cases had underwent one-stage fistula repair incluing Duplay procedure in 4 cases(case 1, 2, 4 and 6), Onlay preputial flap in 1 case(case 3), TIP repair with dorsal plication for straightening and urethrotomy in 1 case(case 5). Case 7 had underwent a two-stage repair, which received Duckett flap repair with urethrostomy simultaneously at the base of the penis, and the defect was closed in second procedure. All of neourethras were reinforced by soft tissues from different places.Results:Of 6 cases with one-stage repair, the catheter was removed 10-14 days after surgery in 5 cases. Removal of the catheter was delayed until 3 weeks in case 3 because of poor wound healing. Case 7 received Duckett flap repair with urethrostomy in the initial surgery, who recovered uneventfully and was resolved during the second operation. No recurrence, urethral stricture or chordee occurence were noted in all after a 1-8 years followup period.Conclusions:Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula have a high overall success rate.Duplay could be applied to cases without penile curvature, and well-developed urethral plate. Onlay or TIP is more suitable for cases with narrow urethral plate. The principle of hypospadias repair should be followed for those cases with severe penile curvature.
ABSTRACT
Urethral fistula caused by anterior urethral valve combined with penile curvature is a rare clinical disease, which is rarely reported at home and abroad. We diagnosed 2 cases, treated with urethral diverticulum resection + urethral valve resection + dorsal albuginea of the penis + Duplay one-stage urethroplasty and urethral diverticulum resection + urethral valve resection + penis Dorsal albuginea fold + Duckett one-stage urethroplasty respectively. There were no surgical complications such as penile recurvation, urinary fistula, urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum, during the follow-up period of 10 and 15 months.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate operative methods and indications for the surgical repair of hypospadias. Methods Clinical data of 91 cases of hypospadias repaired in this hospital between 1997 and 2003 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Postoperative urethral fistula took place in 15 cases, with an overall incidence of 16 5% (15/91), including 6 cases treated by Duckett procedure, 4 cases treated by Duckett combined with Duplay procedure, 1 case treated by Mathieu procedure, 2 cases treated by scrotal island flap procedure (Onlay procedure), 1 case treated by Denis-Browne procedure, and 1 case treated by Snod-grass procedure. Conclusions For patients with hypospadias associated with serious chordee, because the urethral plate can not be preserved, adaptable methods should include scrotal island flap procedure, Duckett procedure, or Duckett procedure combined with Duplay procedure. Urethral plate conserving operations are suitable for hypospadias without chordee or with mild chordee, involving the Mathieu procedure, Onlay procedure, Snod-grass procedure and Denis-Browne procedure.
ABSTRACT
A 16 months old male child with features of acute urinary and intestinal obstruction due to a vegetative foreign body (FB) impacted in the anterior urethra is presented. The patient had an untreated intermediate ano-rectal malformation (ARM) with wide recto-urethral fistula (RUF). Multiple other congenital anomalies were, also, seen in this patient. The foreign body was removed by an external urethral meatotomy, relieving recto-urethral obstruction. However, the child died of septicaemia 6 hours post-operativerly. To best ofOUt knowledge, this is the first case of ARM, presenting with urethral obstruction due to a foreign body.
ABSTRACT
Urethral fistula due to vesical calculi is very rare in urological field.We are presenting a case of urethral fistula due to vesical calcula along with article review.
