    Urethral duplication type influences on the complications rate and number of surgical procedures
    (2017) LOPES, Roberto Iglesias; GIRON, Amilcar Martins; MELLO, Marcos Figueiredo; BARBOSA NETO, Cristovao Machado; SANTOS, Joana dos; MOSCARDI, Paulo Renato Marcelo; SROUGI, Victor; DENES, Francisco Tibor; SROUGI, Miguel
    Introduction: Urethral duplication is rare. Characterized by the presence of two urethral channels. This anomaly presents a great variety of clinical findings that depend on the type of duplication that often is associated with other anomalies. Material and Methods: We report thirteen boys with urethral duplication managed in our institution between 1988-02015. Clinical findings, associated anomalies, treatment of urethral duplication and our results are described. Patients were classified according to Effmann classification. Results: Mean patient's age was 38.3 +/- 34.7 months (3-0136 months). Mean follow-up was 7.7 +/- 3.4 years (3y8m-014y2m). Type II A2 was the most common pattern (8/13 patients, 61.5%), followed by type IA (3/13 patients, 23%) and IIA1 (2/13 patients, 15.3%). The most frequent clinical manifestations were urinary tract infections (UTI) observed in 11/13 patients (84.6%) and anal urinary leakage, found in 7/13 patients (53.8%). Associated anomalies were found in 9/13 patients (69.2%). Required surgeries were 3.53 +/- 2.84 procedures per patient. Considering groups: Type IIA2 4.25 +/- 3.28, type IIA1 4 +/- 1.41 and type IA 1.33 +/- 0.57 needed procedures per patient. Complications rate were 0% for type IA, 50% for type IIA1 and 75% for type IIA2. Conclusions: Patients with incomplete duplication (type I A or I B) can totally be asymptomatic, with no need of surgical correction. Type IIA2 is the most complex form of duplication to correct and multiple procedures might be required because of the very hypoplastic orthotopic dorsal urethral tissue. Surgical treatment should be individualized and parents should be advised on complications and need of multiple surgeries according to urethral duplication type.

    The role of bladder diverticula in the prevalence of acute urinary retention in patients with BPH who are candidates to surgery
    (2018) ISCAIFE, Alexandre; ARFOS, Gabriel dos; NETO, Cristovao Barbosa; NAHAS, Willian Carlos; SROUGI, Miguel; ANTUNES, Alberto Azoubel
    Introduction: The urinary bladder diverticula (BD) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a complication that can lead to urinary stasis, stone, urinary tract infection (UTI) and tumors. It's role in acute urinary retention (AUR) is not totally understood. Objectives: To determine the effect of BD size on AUR rates in patients with BPH candidates to surgery. Subjects and Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 47 patients with BPH and BD who underwent BPH surgery associated to complete bladder diverticulectomy from 2006 to 2016. We analyzed risk factors for AUR in patients with BD using univariate, multivariate and correlation analysis. Results: There was a difference in the size of the diverticula, with 6.8 cm vs. 4.5 cm among patients with and without AUR respectively (p=0.005). The ROC curve showed a correlation between the size of BD and the risk of AUR. The value of 5.15 cm presented a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 72%. The area under the curve was 0.75 (p=0.01). Comparing groups with BD > 5.0 cm vs. <= 5.0 cm, the AUR incidence was 74% and 27.8% respectively with an OR of 2.65 (1.20-5.85) (p=0.005). In the multivariate analysis, only the size of the diverticula reached statistical significance (p=0.012). Conclusions: The diameter of BD is an independent risk factor for AUR in patients with BPH and BD who are candidates to surgery. A diameter greater than 5.15 cm increases the risk of AUR.

    Downregulation of miR-29b is associated with Peyronie's disease
    (2022) SANTOS, Vinicius Genuino dos; SANTOS, Gabriel Arantes dos; NETO, Cristovao Barbosa; VIANA, Nayara Izabel; PIMENTA, Ruan; GUIMARAES, Vanessa Ribeiro; CANDIDO, Patricia; ROMAO, Poliana; CAMARGO, Juliana A. de; LEITE, Katia Ramos Moreira; SROUGI, Miguel; CURY, Jose; NAHAS, William C.; REIS, Sabrina Thalita
    Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is characterized by the formation of fibrous plaque in tunica albuginea, causing several problems in patients. The etiology of this disease is not fully understood, and there are few effective treatments. To better understand the molecular pathways of PD, we studied miR-29b, a microRNA that could be involved with this illness. MicroRNAs are endogenous molecules that act by inhibiting messenger RNA. MiR-29b regulates 11 of 20 collagen genes and the TGF-beta 1 gene, which are related to PD progression. Methods: We compared miR-29b expression in 11 patients with PD and 14 patients without PD (control group). For the patients with PD, we utilized samples from the fibrous plaque (n = 9), from the tunica albuginea (n = 11), and from the corpus cavernosum (n = 8). For the control group, we utilized samples from the tunica albuginea (n = 14) and from the corpus cavernosum (n = 10). MiR-29b expression was determined by q-PCR. Results: We found a downregulation of miR-29b in the fibrous plaque, tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum of patients with PD in comparison with the control group (p = 0.0484, p = 0.0025, and p = 0.0016, respectively). Conclusion: Although our study has a small sample, we showed for the first time an evidence that the downregulation of miR-29b is associated with PD.
