ABSTRACT

Objetivos: La circuncisión es una de las intervenciones quirúrgicas más realizadas en cirugía pediátrica. Aunque la técnica con suturamanual (SMAN) se considera el gold standard, recientemente se handesarrollado dispositivos de sutura mecánica (SMEC) de fácil manejo ycon mejores resultados postoperatorios en la población adulta. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es comparar el tiempo quirúrgico y la incidencia decomplicaciones postoperatorias entre ambas técnicas en nuestro ámbito.Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes circuncidados en nuestro centro entre octubre 2021 y diciembre 2022. Se analizóel tiempo quirúrgico y las complicaciones observadas en los primeros14 días postoperatorios (edema, hematoma, dehiscencia), en funciónde la técnica empleada (SMAN vs SMEC) y la edad de los pacientes(< 12 y ≥ 12 años). Resultados: Se incluyeron 173 pacientes (147 SMAN, 26 SMEC).El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue significativamente menor en los pacientes con SMEC, tanto en < 12 años (16 min vs. 10 min, p= 0,002) comoen ≥ 12 años (23 min vs 12 min, p< 0,001). En cuanto a las complicaciones, los pacientes con SMEC del grupo ≥ 12 años presentaron menortasa de dehiscencia de sutura (23,5% vs 0%, p< 0,001), sin observarsediferencias significativas en el grupo de menor edad. Conclusiones: La circuncisión con SMEC es una técnica sencillay eficaz, que precisa un tiempo quirúrgico más reducido que la suturamanual, independientemente de la edad. Presenta menor tasa de complicaciones en los niños de mayor edad (≥ 12 años), por lo que se planteacomo una alternativa válida a la técnica clásica.(AU)


Objective: Circumcision is one of the most common surgical procedures in pediatric surgery. Even though manual suture (MANS) isregarded as the gold standard technique, easy-to-use mechanical suture(MECS) devices have been recently developed, with better postoperative results in the adult population. The objective of our study was tocompare the operating time and incidence of postoperative complicationsbetween both techniques in our environment.Materials and methods: A retrospective study of patients undergoing circumcision in our institution from October 2021 to December 2022was carried out. Operating time and complications observed in the first14 postoperative days (edema, hematoma, dehiscence) were analyzedaccording to the technique used (MANS vs. MECS) and patient age(< 12 and ≥12 years old).Results: 173 patients (147 MANS, 26 MECS) were included.Mean operating time was significantly lower in MECS patients, bothin patients < 12 years old (16 min vs. 10 min, p= 0.002) and in patients≥12 years old (23 min vs. 12 min, p< 0.001). Regarding complications,MECS patients ≥12 years old had a lower rate of suture dehiscence(23.5% vs. 0%, p< 0.001), with no significant differences in the youngergroup. Conclusions: MECS circumcision is a simple and effective technique involving shorter operating times than MANS circumcision, regardless of age. It has a lower rate of complications in older children (≥12years), which means it stands as a valid alternative to the conventionaltechnique.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La circuncisión es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos urológicos más frecuentemente realizados en la población pediátrica en todo el mundo. Las complicaciones, aunque infrecuentes,pueden ser graves. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón senegalés de10 años que fue sometido a una circuncisión ritual en la primera infanciay que desarrolló una tumoración circunferencial progresiva en el cuerpodel pene sin otra sintomatología asociada. Se realizó una exploraciónquirúrgica y se identificó un rodete peneano de aspecto fibrótico que seinterpretó como lesión secundaria al material de sutura no absorbibleutilizado en la cirugía anterior. Se realizó una exéresis del tejido afectoy una prepucioplastia a demanda. Por limitaciones técnicas, no se pudoanalizar el tejido resecado y por tanto no se pudo confirmar histopatológicamente el diagnóstico. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente. Conclusiones: Este caso pone de manifiesto la necesidad de formar adecuadamente al personal que realiza la circuncisión para evitarcomplicaciones severas.(AU)


Introduction: Circumcision is one of the most frequent urologicalsurgical procedures in the pediatric population globally. Complications,although rare, can be severe.Clinical case: We present the case of a Senegalese 10-year-oldmale patient who had undergone ritual circumcision in his early childhood and developed a progressive circumferential tumor in the penilebody with no further associated symptoms. Surgical exploration was carried out. A fibrotic-looking penile ring, which was interpreted asan injury secondary to the non-absorbable suturing material used inthe previous surgery, was identified. The tissue involved was removed,and on-demand preputioplasty was conducted. Due to technical limitations, the resected tissue could not be analyzed, which means diagnosiscould not be histopathologically confirmed. The patient had a favorableprogression. Conclusions: This case demonstrates that the medical personnelin charge of performing circumcisions should be adequately trained inorder to prevent severe complications.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Actualmente no existe una pauta de aplicación única establecida para el tratamiento tópico corticoideo de la fimosis. Nos planteamos comparar la efectividad de dos de las pautas más utilizadas, así como la importancia de otros factores en el éxito del tratamiento conservador. Material y métodos. Estudio analítico de tipo cohortes retrospectivas, incluyendo niños con fimosis no complicada a los que se instauró dos pautas distintas de aplicación de corticoide tópico (con periodo de descanso y con dosis descendente). Se estudió el resultado final circuncisión o curación en base a la pauta y a otros factores epidemiológicos. Resultados. Se incluyeron 159 niños con edad media de 6 años. La pauta con descanso se aplicó en el 57,9% de los pacientes con una adherencia del 93,4% y una tasa de curación del 83,7%, frente al 79,1% de grupo con pauta descendente (diferencia no significativa). Se observó un mayor riesgo de circuncisión en pacientes con tratamiento tópico previo y con prepucio cicatricial y un papel protector de la adherencia al tratamiento. La presencia de balanitis previa o el grado de fimosis no se asocian con mayor fracaso del tratamiento. Conclusiones. Las pautas de aplicación estudiadas no presentan diferencias significativas en la tasa de curación. No obstante, la adherencia es mayor con la pauta con descanso por lo que parece recomendable. Las balanitis y el grado alto de fimosis no serían contraindicación inicial del tratamiento conservador (AU)


Introduction. Currently there is no single application guideline established for the topical corticosteroid treatment of phimosis. We set out to compare the effectiveness of two of the most widely used guidelines, as well as the importance of other factors in the success of conservative treatment. Material and methods. Retrospective cohort-type analytical study, including children with uncomplicated phimosis who received two different regimens of topical corticosteroid application (with a rest period and a descending dose). The final result of circumcision or cure was studied based on the guideline and other epidemiological factors. Results. 159 children with a mean age of 6 years were included. The regimen with rest was applied in 57.9% of the patients with an adherence of 93.4% and a cure rate of 83.7%, compared to 79.1% in the group with a descending regimen (non-significant difference). An increased risk of circumcision was observed in patients with previous topical treatment and with scarred foreskin and a protective role of adherence to treatment. The presence of previous balanitis or the degree of phimosis is not associated with greater treatment failure. Conclusions. The application guidelines studied do not show significant differences in the cure rate. However, adherence is greater with the rest pattern, so it seems advisable. Balanitis and a high degree of phimosis would not be an initial contraindication to conservative treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

El megaprepucio congénito es una patología urológica propia dela infancia que puede ser fácilmente confundida con otras entidadesclínicas como la fimosis fisiológica o el pene enterrado. Debido al riesgode complicaciones asociadas, principalmente de carácter infeccioso uobstructivo con afectación del tracto urinario superior, es importanteincidir en su correcto diagnóstico de cara a ofertar un tratamiento precoz.Presentamos tres casos de megaprepucio congénito, diagnosticados eintervenidos en nuestro servicio durante el periodo comprendido entreenero de 2019 y mayo de 2020, describiéndose el diagnóstico, la tera-péutica empleada y la evolución clínica.


Congenital megaprepuce is a urological pathology typical ofchildhood. It can be easily mistaken for other clinical entities such asphysiological phimosis or buried penis. Owing to the risk of associ-ated complications – primarily infectious and obstructive complications,with upper urinary tract involvement –, achieving an accurate diagnosisproves particularly significant for early treatment initiation. We presentthree cases of congenital megaprepuce diagnosed and operated on atour department from January 2019 to May 2020. Diagnosis, therapy,and clinical progression are described.

ABSTRACT

La circuncisión es una cirugía practicada frecuentemente en urología. Sin tener en cuenta los principios básicos de la cirugía reconstructiva, puede generar procesos de cicatrización anómalos, con resultados estéticos y funcionales inadecuados, fimosis secundaria, cicatrización hipertrófica, queloide o "pene enterrado." El objetivo de este video es recordar la importancia de operar con las directrices de una cirugía reconstructiva, resaltando el cuidado de los tejidos y el uso de suturas de bajo calibre, para prevenir complicaciones y resultados insatisfactorios, resaltando la preservación de las zonas postuladas por Firlit. Se sospecha que las complicaciones de este procedimiento son subestimadas por los especialistas. El manejo cuidadoso de los tejidos, el uso de suturas de bajo calibre y los puntos subcuticulares con poca tensión, son medios para optimizar el proceso de cicatrización, evitando la isquemia y las cicatrices hipertróficas, basados en el fundamento de que esta es una cirugía no solo funcional, sino reconstructiva y estética. La circuncisión es un procedimiento que debe conservar la funcionalidad y estética del pene, por lo que debe ser realizado bajo las directrices de una cirugía


Circumcision is a frequently practiced surgical procedure in urology. Without considering the basic principles of reconstructive surgery, it can result in abnormal cicatrization processes, with inadequate aesthetic or functional results, secondary phimosis, hypertrophic or keloid scarring, or even "buried penis." The objective of this video is to remind the importance of operating with the principles of reconstructive surgery, highlighting the careful handling of tissues and the use of low-caliber sutures, to prevent complications and unsatisfactory results, preserving the areas postulated by Firlit. The complications of this procedure are suspected to be underestimated by specialists. Careful tissue management, the use of low-caliber sutures and subcuticular points with no tension are means to optimize the healing process, avoiding ischemia and hypertrophic scars, based on the fact that this is a surgery that is not only functional, but reconstructive and aesthetic as well. Circumcision is a procedure that must preserve the functionality and aesthetics of the penis and it must be performed under the principles of reconstructive surgery.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La mutilación genital femenina se inscribe dentro de las prácticas tradicionales perjudiciales, reconocidas como forma de violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas. Tema extremadamente complejo, delicado y politizado, difícil de entender a través de definiciones normativas, clasificaciones y delimitaciones geográficas. Su desconocimiento, por parte de los profesionales de la salud, puede contribuir a un manejo inadecuado de las pacientes. El trabajo tiene como objetivo argumentar sobre aspectos socioculturales de la Mutilación Genital Femenina, esenciales para su manejo integral por el profesional de la salud. Se recomienda el enfoque, llamado "las cinco P": prevalencia, prevención, protección, persecución y provisión de servicios. Además, se deben evitar las actitudes de reproche o victimización hacia la paciente, así como no promover la medicalización de la práctica.


ABSTRACT The feminine genital mutilation is registered among the harmful traditional practices recognized as form of violence against the women and the girls. Complex topic, the fact that was politicized, difficult to understand through normative definitions, classifications and geographical delimitation. Its ignorance, on the part of the professionals of the health, can contribute to an inadequate handling of the patients, as part of their integral attention. The work takes as an objective to argue on sociocultural aspects of the Feminine Genital Mutilation, essential for its integral handling for the health professional. The approach, called "five P" is recommended: predominance, prevention, protection, pursuit and provision of services. Moreover, the reproach attitudes must be avoided or victimization towards the patient, expression of a euro-central and paternalistic look towards the different, unexpected or unknown; as well as not to promote the medicalization of the practice.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La circuncisión es un procedimiento quirúrgico de baja complejidad; el riesgo de complicaciones oscila entre el 0,2 a 5%, siendo la miasis un hecho poco frecuente. Para su tratamiento, principalmente se extraen las larvas, y se administran antiparasitarios y antibióticos para prevenir la infección secundaria. El objetivo del artículo es reportar el caso de un adulto masculino, quien presentó miasis genital posterior a una circuncisión y biopsia. En la mayoría de los casos, la miasis es accidental en humanos, y su verdadera incidencia es difícil de establecer debido al subregistro. La mala higiene, el bajo nivel socioeconómico y el hacinamiento son factores de riesgo importantes para adquirirla, además de la excesiva exposición del hospedero potencial a las moscas. Es fundamental realizar un correcto tratamiento de heridas y un seguimiento estricto del paciente que recibe manejo quirúrgico. MÉD.UIS.2019;32(2):41-6


Abstract Circumcision is a non complex surgical procedure, but is not a harmless option. Risk of complications may fluctuate between 0,2% and 5%, being myiasis a low often situation, for its treatment mainly the larvae are extracted, antiparasitics and antibiotics are administered to prevent secondary infection. The objective of the article is to report the case of a male adult, who presented genital myiasis after a circumcision and biopsy. In most of cases myiasis is accidental in humans and its true incidence is very hard to establish due to underreporting. Poor hygiene, low socio-economic level and overcrowding, are risk factors to obtain it, besides an excessive exposure to flies. A right wounds treatment and a strict monitoring of patient in surgical management is essential. MÉD.UIS.2019;32(2):41-6

ABSTRACT

a circuncisión neonatal ha sido un tema ampliamente debatido durante décadas, eso se refleja en las estadísticas que demuestran una reducción en su uso por ejemplo, en Canadá, del 51% al 31% de 1970 al 2007, en los Estados Unidos del 60% al 50% de 1999 al 2010, al igual que en el Reino Unido, donde su descenso ha sido del 2,6 al 2,1/1000 nacidos vivos desde 1997 al 2004.[1] En nuestro país, se desconocen los datos al respecto.

ABSTRACT

Introducción La circuncisión neonatal es un procedimiento frecuente en EE. UU. y en otros países, y presenta baja tasa de complicación en manos entrenadas. Sin embargo, en Chile recién está siendo incorporado clínicamente a nuestro medio. Nuestro objetivo fue establecer un protocolo local estandarizado de circuncisión neonatal con anestesia local y evaluar sus resultados y las posibles complicaciones. Pacientes y método Protocolo prospectivo estandarizado a pacientes que soliciten circuncisión neonatal cuyos criterios de inclusión fueron: niños < 60 días y < 5 kg. La técnica quirúrgica consiste en anestesia local tópica y bloqueo peneano, atrición del prepucio y mucosa redundante con clamp de Mogen® y sección con bisturí. Se evalúa protocolo utilizado desde noviembre de 2005 a octubre de 2014 por un urólogo pediatra y/o cirujano pediatra entrenados en la técnica. Se registran y analizan complicaciones y condiciones hasta el alta definitiva. Resultados En 9 años se aplicó el protocolo a 108 pacientes. La edad promedio al procedimiento fue de 9 días (1-52). Un paciente (0,9%) presentó sangrado inmediato, requiriendo cirugía posterior. Todos los pacientes fueron dados de alta definitiva de controles al mes, sin otras complicaciones. La razón para realizar el procedimiento fue por solicitud de los padres en el 100% de los casos por razones sociales o religiosas. Conclusión La circuncisión neonatal con anestesia local es un procedimiento sencillo y que en casos seleccionados tiene excelentes resultados, sin mayores complicaciones. Con el debido entrenamiento y adecuando el protocolo inicial, se puede realizar de manera ambulatoria, sin necesidad de someter al niño a los riesgos de la anestesia general en recién nacidos.


Introduction Neonatal circumcision is a common procedure in the US and other countries, with low rates of complications in trained hands. However, it has recently been incorporated into the clinical environment in Chile. Our goal was to establish a local standardised protocol for neonatal circumcision under local anaesthesia, and evaluate the results and possible complications. Patients and method A standardised prospective protocol was used on patients who underwent neonatal circumcision. The inclusion criteria were: children < 60 days and < 5 kg. The surgical technique used was topical local anaesthesia and penile block, attrition of redundant prepuce and mucosa with Mogen® clamp, and section with scalpel. The protocol was used and evaluated from November 2005 to October 2014 by a paediatric surgeon and/or paediatric urologist trained in the technique. Complications and conditions until final discharge were analysed. Results The protocol was applied to 108 patients over a 9 year period. The mean age at procedure was 9 days (1-52). One patient (0.9%) had immediate bleeding, requiring further surgery. All patients were discharged from further medical checks at 1 month, without any other complications. The reason for the procedure was by parental request in 100% of the cases, and always for sociocultural reasons. Conclusion Neonatal circumcision under local anaesthesia is a simple procedure, and has excellent results in selected patients, and with no major complications. With proper training, and adapting the initial protocol, it can be performed on an outpatient basis, without putting the neonates through the risks of general anaesthesia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore men's knowledge of the negative consequences of female genital mutilation (FGM) to women's health in countries where this practice is performed. METHODS: A qualitative methodology was used with an ethnomethodological approach. Both individual and group semi-structured interviews concerning FGM were conducted with 25 men, selected by triple sampling. A study presentation letter was provided to participants, together with an informed consent declaration. Permission was also procured to record the interviews in audio format. Data analysis was performed using the Atlas Ti7 software. RESULTS: Those participants against FGM are aware of the range of complications this practice can cause, being able to identify physical, obstetric, psychological, sexuality and social consequences in women subjected to FGM. However, those men who are in favour display a general ignorance of the problems resulting from this practice. CONCLUSIONS: Participants from countries where FGM is performed who are against this practice are more aware of the negative consequences than those who claim to be in favour. The design of awareness-raising programmes and other tools to combat female genital mutilation must highlight the implications for women's and girls' health, and include family-targeted campaigns which involve men in the process of eradicating this practice.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Create and implement a protocol for identifying and preventing female genital mutilation in a municipality of the Region of Murcia. DESIGN: A bibliographical review and significant databases were consulted for the creation of the algorithm performance. These include Cuiden, Dialnet, Medes, Medline, and other documentary sources of interest. The instrument for data collection was completed by interviewing parents of girls at risk. DRAFTING AND IMPLEMENTATION: The multi-disciplinary team was formed; the female genital mutilation risk cases were collected, and were summoned to the nursing consulting room. Two girls had been mutilated, the rest were at risk of female genital mutilation, and in one case the risk was imminent. CONCLUSION: The algorithm designed guides practitioners in their performance, achieving an effective detection and prevention of genital mutilation of girls. This is a first approach to the development of a regional protocol.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los quistes del rafe medio del pene son lesiones raras y benignas, en su mayoría de origen embrionario, y más frecuentes en las tres primeras décadas de la vida. Objetivo: presentar un caso con diagnóstico de quiste queratinoso del rafe medio del pene, y comentar aspectos del diagnóstico diferencial y su tratamiento.Presentación del caso: paciente de 28 años de edad con antecedentes de salud, quien asistió a la consulta externa de Urología de la Clínica Multiperfil de Luanda, por presentar una lesión tumoral indolora en la piel del prepucio peniano, de unos 6 meses de evolución, que le dificultaba el acto sexual. Al examen físico de los genitales se corroboró la existencia de una masa tumoral redondeada y pediculadade unos 2 cm de diámetro, de color rosado, traslúcida y de consistencia blanda, que dependía del rafe medio del prepucio del pene. El resto de los órganos genitales eran normales. Se decidió realizar la circuncisión, incluyendo la formación quística, la cual se efectuó sin complicaciones. El paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente. El diagnóstico histopatológico de la pieza quirúrgica fue quiste queratinoso del rafe medio del pene.Conclusiones: los quistes del rafe medio del pene no son habituales. Cuando asientan a nivel del prepucio y dificultan el coito por su gran tamaño está indicado su exéresis, y así llegar al diagnóstico histopatológico definitivo(AU)


Introduction: the cysts of the median raphe of the penis are rare and benign lesions, mostly of embryonic origin, and more frequent in the first three decades of life.Objective: to present a case with diagnosis of keratinous cyst of the median raphe of the penis, and comment on aspects of the differential diagnosis and treatment. Case presentation: 28-year-old patient with a history of health, who attended the outpatient in Multiperfil Clinic of Luanda department of Urology, by presenting a painless tumor lesion on the skin of the penile foreskin for approximately 6 months of evolution, which makes it difficult for the sexual act. The physical examination of the genitals are corroborated the existence of a tumor mass rounded and pedicle of approximately 2 cm in diameter, pink, translucent and soft consistency, which depended on the median raphe of the foreskin of the penis. It was decided to perform the circumcision, including the cystic formation, which was made without complications. The patient developed satisfactorily. The histopathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen was keratinous cyst of the median raphe of the penis. Conclusions: the cysts of the raphe of the penis are not common. When seated at the level of the foreskin and hinder the intercourse by its large size excision is indicated, and so reaches the histopathological diagnosis definitive(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the perceptions of a group of women who underwent female genital mutilation on the impact of this practice on their sexual and reproductive health. METHODS: We performed a phenomenological qualitative study in a sample of 9 sub-Saharan Africa women, whose mean age was 30 years old and who had lived in Spain for 1 to 14 years. These women underwent genital mutilation in their countries of origin. Data was collected using a socio-demographic survey and an in-depth, structured personal interview. Subsequently, we performed a thematic discourse analysis. RESULTS: The discourses were grouped into four categories related to participants' perceptions of female genital mutilation. These categories were intimate relationships, pregnancy, childbirth, and social impact. CONCLUSIONS: The practice of female genital mutilation is maintained due to social and family pressure, transmitted from generation to generation and silenced by women themselves. This practice affects their sexual and reproductive health, as demonstrated by anorgasmia and dyspareunia. The women were satisfied with the healthcare received during pregnancy and childbirth. Nevertheless, most of them were not satisfied with family planning.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho aborda os desafios éticos concernentes à mutilação genital feminina e à circuncisão masculina, mostrando similitudes e diferenças. A circuncisão masculina é um procedimento médico para determinadas condições clínicas da saúde genital masculina. Os povos que praticam a mutilação genital feminina também praticam a circuncisão masculina ritualística, sendo que há povos e religiões que praticam a circuncisão masculina sem que haja mutilação genital feminina. A mutilação genital feminina se concentra em bolsões de pobreza, sendo atentatória aos direitos humanos, havendo diversos movimentos mundiais em prol de sua erradicação. A circuncisão masculina pode se associar a complicações bastante sérias, de modo que não é aceitável sua realização sem indicação clínica precisa.


Este artículo enfoca los desafíos éticos acerca de la mutilación genital femenina y la circuncisión masculina, demostrando las similitudes y diferencias. La circuncisión masculina es un procedimiento médico para determinadas condiciones clínicas de la salud genital masculina. Los pueblos que practican la mutilación genital femenina también practican la circuncisión masculina ritualista, habiendo pueblos y religiones que practican la circuncisión masculina sin que exista la mutilación genital femenina. La mutilación genital femenina se concentra en zonas de pobreza y ofende a los derechos humanos, habiendo muchos movimientos mundiales en favor de su erradicación. La circuncisión masculina puede estar asociada con complicaciones muy graves, por lo que no es aceptable su realización sin una indicación clínica precisa.


This article is about the ethical challenges related to female genital mutilation and male circumcision, by showing similarities and differences. Male circumcision is a medical procedure to some clinical conditions of male genital health. The peoples that carry out the female genital mutilation also carry out together the ritual of male circumcision, but there are peoples and religions that carry out male circumcision without female genital mutilation. Female genital mutilation occurs concentrated in very poor regions and it is against Human Rights, so there are several worldwide movements for its eradication. Male circumcision can be associated to seriously dangerous complications, so that it is not ethically acceptable to be carried out without a precise clinical indication.

ABSTRACT

La circuncisión consiste en cortar una porción del prepucio del pene que cubre al glande para dejarlo permanentemente al descubierto. Los motivos más frecuentes para circuncidar son religiosos, culturales o médicos. Muchos científicos, al igual que los autores de este artículo, justifican la circuncisión masculina para la disminución del riesgo de infección por virus de inmunodeficiencia humana e infecciones de transmisión sexual. A tales efectos se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para completar así la información disponible en las bases de datos nacionales al respecto.


The circumcision involves cutting a portion of the penis foreskin that covers the glans to leave it permanently exposed. The most common reasons for circumcision are religious, cultural or medical. Many scientists, as the authors of this article, justify male circumcision for reducing risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus and sexually transmitted infections. For this purpose a literature survey was conducted to complete the information available in national databases.
