Filter by:To explore the optimal urethral coverage in hypospadias repair by comparing the success rate of both covering techniques: Dartos fascia versus Tunica Vaginalis flap.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of Holour in patients suffering from hypospadias treatment failure. Holour is intended for urethral replacement and is made from ex vivo expanded autologous oral mucosal cells including stem cells.
Reconstructive surgery is advocated for most children with hypospadias, a condition in which the pee hold is not in the correct place on the penis, to prevent potentially serious cosmetic and functional problems. Parents faced with a decision about hypospadias repair encounter an irreversible choice with potentially lifelong consequences. Recent studies have identified decisional conflict (DC) and decisional regret (DR) as a significant problem for parents. Several recent guidelines on complex urologic topics suggest that shared decision-making (SDM) is the optimal approach. A pilot test of a decision aid website by parents potentially facing this decision will be conducted to measure pre- and post-outcomes, in order to develop a fuller understanding of how urologists can effectively provide parents with optimal decision support. Parents will answer questions via phone up to four time points, twice before (T1 and T2) and twice after seeing a urologist for a hypospadias referral (T3 and T4). If the urologist diagnoses hypospadias but recommends no surgery, the final data collection point will be three months after the urology visit. If the urologist recommends repair surgery, the final data collection point will be six months after surgery.
Background: Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) is a genetic disorder. It can cause birth defects and developmental delays. There is no cure for SLOS or other inherited diseases related to cholesterol production or storage. The data gained in this study may help researchers find ways to measure how well future treatments work. Objective: To learn more about SLOS and related disorders and how these diseases affect participants and relatives. Eligibility: People of any age who have or are suspected to have SLOS or another inherited disease related to cholesterol production or storage. Relatives are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical record review. Participants will have visits every 6 to 12 months. They will have a physical exam. They will fill out a survey about their medical and behavioral history. They may have an eye exam. They may have a neurodevelopmental assessment. They may have a hearing test. Their outer and middle ears may be examined. Their ability to speak, understand speech, eat, and swallow may be assessed. They may get X-rays while they chew and swallow. Their functional ability and needs for adaptive devices or braces may be assessed. They may have a lumbar puncture. Photographs may be taken of their face and body. Participants who cannot visit the NIH and relatives will have a virtual visit once a year. They will talk about their medical history and symptoms. They give blood, urine, and skin samples at a lab near their home. They will fill out a survey about their medical and behavioral history. Participation will last for several years.
Hypospadias is a common anomaly of the male genitalia affecting 0.4-8.2 of 1000 live male babies and varies considerably in severity. The position of the urethral meatus can be classified as anterior or distal (glandular, coronal, or subcoronal; 60-65% of cases), middle (midpenile; 20-30% of cases), or posterior or proximal (posterior penile, penoscrotal, scrotal, or perineal; 10-15% of cases). The subcoronal position is the most common. Most cases are mild and surgical correction is undertaken mostly for cosmetic reasons at the request of the parents or on advice of the pediatrician or surgeon. Functional success of hypospadias repair depends on the creation of a uniform and adequate caliber urethra up to the meatus. Accordingly, meatal stenosis and urethral stricture are the important complications of surgery, others include urethrocutaneous fistula, diverticula, skin flap necrosis and persistent chordee. Although functional assessment of the repair is possible by observation of the urinary stream and voiding cystourethrography, uroflowmetry is considered to be a more objective tool, especially for the detection of a subclinical urethral stricture. Reports of the results of hypospadias surgery commonly focus on the cosmetic results and incidence of obvious complications, as urethrocutaneous fistulas, and symptomatic urethral Strictures. Few have emphasized the role of uroflowmetry in the postoperative evaluation of children with hypospadias to detect asymptomatic strictures and, despite the simplicity and non-invasive nature of this test, it has not become standard or widely accepted. We evaluate AUUH experience by use of 'hypospadias objective scoring evaluation' HOSE and uroflowmetry after hypospadias repair. The HOSE is a validated scoring system that incorporates the evaluation of meatal location and shape, urinary stream, straightness of erection, presence and complexity of urethral fistula. The minimum total score is 5, and the maximum total score is 16. The point score is graded as either acceptable or not.
the aim is to study the results of simple modification of classic Mathieu urethroplasty to increase the scope of cases candidates for that procedure.
cyanoacrylate has an impact that may aid in the successful repair of urethra-cutaneous fistula (UCF) that occur after hypospadias surgical repair
In this study, we aimed to compare ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block and dorsal penile block on postoperative analgesic effect in hypospadias surgery.
Hypospadias is a congenital malformation that occurs in an embryological process, and occurs with an incidence of about 1/300 in male children. The caudal block was the most commonly performed method for pain control after hypospadias surgery, and showed very good analgesic effect in the immediate postoperative stage. However, the caudal block is a neuraxial block that has a limitation in its duration with single shot and shows complications and adverse effects. In recent studies, the pudendal nerve block has been suggested as an alternative method. In children undergoing hypospadias surgery, the pudendal nerve block showed a longer duration compared to the caudal block, decreased the use of analgesics within 24 hours after surgery, and showed higher parental satisfaction. On the other hand, there have been many studies to prolong the duration of the relatively short duration of caudal block. Among them, dexamethasone administered intravenously is known to improve the duration of various regional blocks and reduce the administration of additional analgesics. The aim of this study is to verify whether a single administration of dexamethasone can enhance the effect of the pudendal nerve block in children 0.5-3 years of age undergoing hypospadias surgery.
This study aims to evaluate the utility of long-acting liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) in improving pain scores and reducing narcotic pain requirements in pediatric patients following minor urologic procedures.
