ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Hypospadias surgery is challenging. Numerous techniques have been described with variable complication rates. The main objectives of our study were to evaluate the urethroplasty complication rate of primary hypospadias repair and to identify risk factors for complications. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of all patients who underwent primary hypospadias repair in our department between January 2012 and December 2020. Demographic, anatomical, operative, and postoperative data were reported. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with complications. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: Of 292 patients, 203 (69.5%) had distal hypospadias, 63 (21.6%) had mid-penile hypospadias, and 26 (8.9%) had proximal hypospadias. The mean age at the time of surgery was 22.8 months. Seventy-eight patients (26.7%) had urethroplasty complications. The rate of complications was higher for proximal hypospadias (57.7%), onlay island flap (44.4%), and Koyanagi (75%) procedures. The mean follow-up duration was 29 months. Two predictors of complications were identified by multivariate analysis: catheterization duration and urethroplasty technique. The reoperation rate was 30.5%. CONCLUSION: Urethroplasty complications frequently occur after primary hypospadias repair. The complication rate was higher in proximal hypospadias. Catheterization duration and surgical technique were significant predictors of complications. A longer and more standardized follow-up is needed for a better assessment of hypospadias repair outcomes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Boys with posterior urethral valves (PUVs) have an increased risk of febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs). Circumcision is believed to reduce the risk of fUTIs in boys, although there are no randomized trials demonstrating this. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of circumcision on the risk of fUTIs in boys with PUVs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A clinical randomized trial that ran between August 2012 and July 2017 was conducted. The trial was multicentric, including 13 referral centers for pediatric urology. Male boys, aged 1-28 d, diagnosed with posterior urethral valves, confirmed by voiding cystogram, were included. The exclusion criteria included presence of a genital malformation contraindicating performing a circumcision. INTERVENTION: Participants were randomized to neonatal circumcision + antibiotic prophylaxis (CATB) or antibiotic prophylaxis alone (ATB), and followed for 2 yr. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The primary outcome was a risk of presenting fUTIs in each group. An fUTI was defined as fever (>38.5 °C) with evidence of pyuria and culture-proven infection on urinalysis, obtained by urethral catheterization or suprapubic aspiration. A bivariate analysis of the primary outcome was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: In total, 91 patients were included: 49 in group CATB and 42 in group ATB. The probability of presenting an fUTI was 20% in group ATB versus 3% in group CATB. The hazard ratio of presenting an fUTI within 2 yr in the ATB group compared with that in the CATB group was 10.3 (95% confidence interval: 1.3-82.5). Sixty-four children (70.3%) had a complete follow-up at 2 yr of age. CONCLUSIONS: Circumcision significantly decreases the risk of presenting an fUTI in boys with PUVs. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this report, we compared, in a multicentric trial, the number of febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) in boys with posterior urethral valves who had either antibiotic prophylaxis alone or antibiotic prophylaxis and circumcision. We found that those who had a circumcision had a significantly lower risk of febrile UTIs.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Wilms tumors (WTs) are the most frequent renal tumors in children. Radical nephrectomy (RN) remains the gold-standard surgical treatment for this type of cancer. Excellent results in overall survival (>90%) make it possible to consider nephronic preservation. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the relevance of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for the treatment of nonsyndromic unilateral Wilms tumor (UWT) in children. METHODS: Articles in English related to "unilateral Wilms tumor, unilateral nephroblastoma, partial nephrectomy, nephron-sparing surgery, renal function" identified in the Medline library were screened and data were extracted to perform a qualitative systematic review. RESULTS: We identified 377 articles, 14 of which were integrated into the analysis. Data on 4288 children were included, 3994 (93.1%) underwent RN, whereas 294 (6.8%) underwent NSS. Stage I anatomopathology resulted in 55.1% RN and 79% NSS. Overall survival and event-free survival were similar: respectively 95.7% and 92.8% after RN and 96 and 90.5% after NSS. Positive margin status was higher after NSS (8.5% vs 0.5%), but tumor rupture and local tumor recurrences were similar. The rate of mild to moderate renal function was higher after RN (42% vs 10% after NSS). DISCUSSION: NSS is regularly performed for WT in case of bilateral or syndromic tumors, but the literature considering UWT does not show consensus. The superiority of NSS for renal outcomes has now been fully evaluated, but the main problem of this surgery in case of UWT is to ensure oncologic outcomes as good as outcomes after RN. WTs are usually massive tumors for which partial nephrectomy is contraindicated, but studies showed that chemotherapy before surgery could reduce tumor volume and make NSS possible. This review shows that NSS results seem to be as good as RN results and that preoperative chemotherapy should be highlighted for its participation in the reduction of the positive margin status. Although radiotherapy is used with caution because of its side effects, some studies showed that it gave excellent results for oncologic salvage after local recurrence. Constant progress in medical imaging and detection systems has led to the emergence of a new type of assistance for surgeons such as image reconstruction and vessel or urinary tract system segmentation. Virtual simulation of the operation based on a real case should help evaluate the feasibility of complex procedures in the near future. CONCLUSION: NSS for UWT seems to be a credible therapeutic alternative. New technologies such as 3D reconstruction should help surgeons define the best parameters to select ideal tumors for this surgery in the near future. For the moment, small tumors (<4cm), distant from the renal hilum (ideally on the upper pole) that respect at least 50% of the renal parenchyma (ideally superficial with exophytic development) seem to be the perfect indication for NSS.
