- Single-stage Abdominoplasty Using Groin Flaps Without Osteotomies: Management of Exstrophy-epispadias Complex(2018) GIRON, Amilcar Martins; MELLO, Marcos Figueiredo; BERJEAUT, Ricardo Haidar; MACHADO, Marcos Giannetti; SILVA, Gabriel Carvalho dos Anjos; CEZARINO, Bruno Nicolino; OLIVEIRA, Lorena Marcalo; LOPES, Roberto Iglesias; DENES, Francisco TiborBACKGROUND The optimal treatment for children born with exstrophy-epispadia complex is still a matter of AND OBJECTIVE debate.(1,2,3) We demonstrate the Single-Stage Abdominoplasty using Groin Flap technique to close the abdominal wall of children with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) without osteotomy neither radical soft tissue mobilization. Advantages over current techniques are less risk of penile tissue loss and avoidance of osteotomies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Abdominal wall repair consists in using the hypogastric skin, rectus, and obliquus externus abdom inalis muscle fascial flaps. These groin flaps are rotated medially resulting in a very strong abdominal wall support. Groin flaps are made of rectus anterior fascia rotated medially, flipped over, and sutured with Prolene sutures to close the defect. By rotating the fascial flaps medially, complete reinforcement of the abdominal wall to the level of the pubic bone is achieved. This permits abdominal closure maintenance without tension. RESULTS Groin flap was applied to 128 patients with CBE referenced from all over the country. Most of these patients returned to their home areas making difficult their follow up. However, we have 44 cases that have regular clinical visits. Mean follow-up was 10.3 4.5 years (2 years 8 months-16 years). Successful closure was achieved in 43 patients (97.7%) as a single procedure; one patient had a complete wound dehiscence and needed another reconstruction (2.2%). Four patients (9.1%) presented abdominal hernias that needed surgical management. When continence is evaluated, we present similar literature rates (60%).(4) CONCLUSION Abdominal reconstruction using Groin flaps has advantages over the traditional approaches to CBE. It reduces the surgical steps and facilitates the closure of the abdominal wall without the need of osteotomies and consequent immobilization during the postoperative period. It is feasible at any age and can be also very useful as a salvage technique even after previous failed procedures. Finally, it minimizes the number of surgeries. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Although it has been established mainly in developed countries, in South America the robotic programs have become more popular, but its growth is clearly slower. Information about robotic pediatric surgery program in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina was collected through e-mail surveys. Results were analyzed and compared to worldwide information about robotic surgery. Due to the wide social, economical, and technological gap between hospitals in South America, it is hard to develop a proper pediatric robotic surgery program. The main obstacles in those four countries appear to be a combination of high purchase costs and equipment maintenance, lack of financial coverage of the procedure by insurance companies and the absence of significant benefits proved in pediatrics in relation to laparoscopic surgery. The pediatric specialties are in the process of making and implementing robotic programs supported by the evident development in adult specialties. However, pediatric robotic surgery in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina do not seems to share that growth.

Brandao; V, Akemi M. Barbosa; MOROMIZATO, Julyana K. M.; ANZOLCH, Karin M. J.; FERNANDES, Roni de C.; RODRIGUES, Fransber R. A.; BELLUCCI, Carlos H. S.; SILVA, Caroline S.; POMPEO, Antonio Carlos L.; JR, Jose de Bessa; GOMES, Cristiano M.Objectives: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on clinical and surgical practice, educational activities, health and lifestyle behavior of Brazilian urology residents. Materials and Methods: A web-based survey was sent to 468 Brazilian urology residents from postgraduate years (PGY) 3 to 5 to collect data on clinical practice and training after 4 months of COVID-19. We also assessed health-related and behavior changes, rate of infection by SARS-CoV-2, deployment to the front line of COVID-19, residents' concerns, and access to personal protective equipment (PPE). Results: Massive reductions in elective and emergency patient consultations, diagnostic procedures and surgeries were reported across the country, affecting PGY 3 to 5 alike. Most in-person educational activities were abolished. The median damage to the urological training expected for 2020 was 6.0 [3.4-7.7], on a scale from 0 to 10, with senior residents estimating a greater damage (P< 0.001). Educational interventions developed included online case-based discussions, subspeciality conferences and lectures, and grand rounds. Most senior residents favored extending residency to compensate for training loss and most younger residents favored no additional training (p< 0.001). Modifications in health and lifestyle included weight gain (43.8%), reduced physical activity (68.6%), increased alcoholic intake (44.9%) and cigarette consumption (53.6%), worsening of sexual life (25.2%) and feelings of sadness or depression (48,2%). Almost half were summoned to work on the COVID-19 front-line and 24.4% had COVID-19. Most residents had inadequate training to deal with COVID-19 patients and most reported a shortage of PPE. Residents' concerns included the risk of contaminating family members, being away from residency program, developing severe COVID-19 and overloading colleagues. Conclusions: COVID-19 had a massive impact in Brazilian urology residents' training, health and lifestyle behavior, which may reflect what happened in other medical specialties. Studies should confirm these findings to help developing strategies to mitigate residents' losses.
- Children with nocturnal enuresis have posture and balance disorders(2016) PEREIRA, R. Pavione Rodrigues; FAGUNDES, S. Nascimento; LEBL, A. Surry; SOSTER, L. Azevedo; MACHADO, M. G.; KOCH, V. H.; TANAKA, C.Introduction Integration of the neuromuscular system is required for maintaining balance and adequate voiding function. Children with enuresis have delayed maturation of the motor cortex, with changes in the sensory and motor systems. Along with various alterations, including the genetic, hormonal, behavioral, and sleep disturbances, and neuromotor and sensory deficits associated with nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children and adults, a consistent alteration in the posture of children with NE has been observed in the current practice. Because posture and the balance control system are strongly connected, this study aimed to investigate posture and balance in children and teenagers with NE. Material and methods A total of 111 children with enuresis were recruited to the enuretic group (EG) and 60 asymptomatic children made up the control group (CG). The participants were divided into two age subgroups: (A) 7-11 years old, N = 77 for EG/A, N = 38 for CG/A; and (B) 12-16 years old, N = 34 for EG/B, N = 22 for CG/B. Balance was assessed using an electronic force plate (100 Hz) to calculate the area of the center of pressure (COP) displacement. The COP is the point that results from the action of vertical forces projected onto the force plate. Sensory integration was analyzed using a 60-s trial with the subject standing under four conditions: (1) eyes open, stable surface; (2) eyes closed, stable surface; (3) eyes open, unstable surface; (4) eyes closed, unstable surface. Posture was assessed by placing reflective anatomical landmarks on the anterior superior iliac spine, the posterior superior iliac spine, the greater trochanter, and lateral malleolus. A photograph was taken while the subject stood quietly. The angles were obtained from landmark connections using software to assess the following posture variables: pelvic ante/retroversion and pelvic ante/retropulsion. Results The EG showed a greater area of COP displacement compared with the CG under all four sensory conditions and both subgroups, except for EG/B in condition 3. Regarding posture, EG showed higher pelvic anteversion angles than CG. Conclusions Enuretic children showed forward inclination of the pelvis and had worse balance compared with control children.
- Brazilian consensus on vesicoureteral reflux-recommendations for clinical practice(2020) NETTO, Jose Murillo B.; RONDON, Atila Victal; MACHADO, Marcos Giannetti; ZERATI FILHO, Miguel; NASCIMENTO, Rodrigo Lessa Pena; LIMA, Salvador Vilar Correa; CALADO, Adriano de Almeida; JR, Ubirajara BarrosoIntroduction: Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is characterized by a retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and kidneys. It is one of the most common urinary tract anomalies and the major cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the first years of life. If not properly diagnosed and treated can lead to recurrent UTI, renal scar and, in severe cases, to end stage renal disease. Despite recent advances in scientific and technological knowledge, evaluation and treatment of VUR is still controversial and there is still considerable heterogeneity in evaluation methods and therapeutic approaches. The aim of the present consensus is to give a practical orientation on how to evaluate and treat VUR. Methods: The board of Pediatric Urology of the Brazilian Society of Urology joined a group of experts and reviewed all important issues on Vesicoureteral Reflux evaluation and treatment and elaborated a draft of the document. On November 2017 the panel met to review, discuss and write a consensus document. Results and Discussion: Vesicoureteral Reflux is a common and challenging problem in children. Children presenting with Vesicoureteral Reflux require careful evaluation and treatment to avoid future urinary tract infections and kidney scars. The panel addressed recommendations on up to date choice of diagnosis evaluation and therapies.
- MMP9 overexpression is associated with good surgical outcome in children with UPJO: Preliminary results(2016) REIS, Sabrina Thalita; LEITE, Katia R. M.; VIANA, Nayara Izabel; LOPES, Roberto Iglesias; MOURA, Caio Martins; IVANOVIC, Renato F.; MACHADO, Marcos; DENES, Francisco Tibor; GIRON, Amilcar; NAHAS, William Carlos; SROUGI, Miguel; PASSEROTTI, Carlo C.Background: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) diagnosed prenatally occurs in 1: 150 -1: 1200 pregnancies. Although many studies investigating the molecular changes of this obstructed segment have been performed, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. The role of extracellular matrix (ECM) components remains controversial, and the investigations in the field of ECM changes, might help the better understanding of the pathogenesis of this common condition. The aim of the present study was to investigate for the first time in the literature whether MMP9 and its specific inhibitors, TIMP1 and RECK, are expressed in a reproducible, specific pattern in UPJ. Methods: UPJO specimens were obtained from 16 children at the time of dismembered pyeloplasty due to intrinsic UPJ stenosis. Expression levels of the three genes (MMP9, TIMP1 and RECK) were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then correlated the expression levels of the genes according to grade study population that was divided in 2 categories according to Society of Fetal Urology classification, grade 3 (moderate) and 4 (severe). For DTPA we subdivided the childrens in 2 groups, obstructive (T 1/2 more than 20 min) and partial obstructive (T 1/2 between 10 and 20 min) and success in a surgery was defined as decrease in T 1/ 2 to less than 20 min, absence of symptoms, improving renal function and decreasing dilatation on successive exams. Results: MMP9 was underexpressed and TIMP1 and RECK were overexpressed in children with obstructive DTPA but the differences were not statistically significant. Overexpression of MMP9 was higher among patients with severe grade of UPJ compared to those with moderate grade. Surprisingly expression levels of MMP-9 was three times higher in children who were successfully treated by surgery (n = 10) (p = 0.072), so those who were followed for at least 1 year after surgery and remained with improvement in renal function and decreasing dilation on intravenous urogram and TIMP-1 was underexpressed in 100 % of this cases (p = 0.00). Conclusions: We showed an increase in expression of MMP9 and a decrease in expression of TIMP1 in children who improving renal function and decreasing dilation after surgery. We believe that the higher expression of MMP9 in these cases can reflect an increase in degradation and remodeling process that could be used as a marker for surgical outcome.
