- 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, MiguelIntroduction: 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.
- 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.
- One - staged reconstruction of bladder exstrophy in male patients: long - term follow-up outcomes(2017) GIRON, Amilcar Martins; MELLO, Marcos Figueiredo; CARVALHO, Paulo Afonso; MOSCARDI, Paulo Renato Marcelo; LOPES, Roberto Iglesias; SROUGI, MiguelIntroduction: The surgical correction of bladder exstrophy remains challenging. In our institution, the repair has evolved from a staged repair to one-stage reconstruction. The one-stage reconstruction includes; bladder closure, Cantwell-Ransley neourethroplasty and abdominoplasty using groin flaps, without the need of pelvic ostheotomies. Repair of urinary continence (UC) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is done after development of the infant. Objective: To present our experience of our modified one-stage reconstruction of bladder exstrophy in male patients. Materials and Methods: Medical records of male patients submitted to one-stage reconstruction of bladder exstrophy were analyzed retrospectively. Fifteen exstrophy bladder patients with mean age 4.2 +/- 7 years were treated at our institution between 1999-2013. Results: Eleven patients were referred to us after previous surgery. Sixteen procedures were performed; one patient had complete wound dehiscence and needed another reconstruction (6.7%). Mean follow up was 10.3 +/- 4.5 years. No patient has had a loss of renal function. Postoperative complications: four patients (26.6%) presented small fistulas, one presented penile rotation. Eleven patients (73.3%) patients underwent bladder-neck surgery. Five (33.3%) required bladder augmentation. Three cases (20%) needed subsequent treatment of VUR. At the time of our review nine (60%) patients achieved UC, two (13.3 %) patient without additional procedure. A mean of 3 +/- 1.1 procedures (2-5) was accomplished per children. Conclusions: One-stage reconstruction minimizes the number of surgical procedures required to achieve UC and potentiates bladder-neck function. The advantages of using groin flaps over current techniques for complete repair are the small risk for penile tissue loss and the avoidance of ostheotomies.
- Two-year outcomes after diagnostic and therapeutic fetal cystoscopy for lower urinary tract obstruction(2016) SANANES, Nicolas; CRUZ-MARTINEZ, Rogelio; FAVRE, Romain; ORDORICA-FLORES, Ricardo; MOOG, Raphael; ZALOSZY, Ariane; GIRON, Amilcar Martins; RUANO, RodrigoObjectivesOur objective is to report long-term outcome after fetal cystoscopy for lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO), as well as to investigate the accuracy of fetal cystoscopy in diagnosing the cause of bladder outlet obstruction. MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of all fetuses who underwent cystoscopy for prenatal diagnosis of LUTO in three tertiary referral centers. Fetal diagnostic cystoscopy was performed to determine prenatally the cause of LUTO and to ablate the posterior urethral valves (PUV). ResultsA total of 50 fetal cystoscopies were performed, revealing PUV in 31 (62%) fetuses, urethral atresia (UA) in 14 (28%) fetuses, and urethral stenosis (US) in 5 (10%) fetuses. Two fetuses had trisomy 18 diagnosed after fetal cystoscopy and were excluded from the present analysis. Fetal cystoscopy was accurate in the diagnosis of the etiology of LUTO in 32/35 (91.4%). There were no survivors in the UA group. One fetus with US underwent urethral stenting and survived with normal renal function at 2years of life. Among the infants with PUV, 17/30 (56.7%) infants survived, and 13/17 (76.5%) had normal renal function at 1year of life; 15/28 (53.6%) infants survived, and 11/15 (73.3%) had normal renal function at 2years. ConclusionsFetal cystoscopy is accurate in the diagnosis of the etiology of LUTO and serves as a guide to the specific prenatal treatment. This procedure is associated with modest long-term survival (54%) but with adequate preserved normal renal function in two thirds of the infants among fetuses with PUV.

- Y chromosome aberration in a patient with cloacal-bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex: an unusual finding(2013) NISHI, Mirian Yumie; MARTINS, Thais Cotrim; COSTA, Elaine Maria Frade; MENDONCA, Berenice Bilharinho; GIRON, Amilcar Martins; DOMENICE, SorahiaChromosome aberrations or genetic syndromes associated with cloacal-bladder exstrophy complex have rarely been reported. The aim of this report is to describe a 14 year-old female Brazilian patient with a complex urogenital malformation, short stature, lack of secondary sexual characteristics and Y chromosome aberration. A girl with cloacal bladder exstrophy complex was referred for evaluation of short stature and absence of secondary sexual characteristics. Pre-pubertal levels of gonadotropins and sex steroids were observed at the beginning of monitoring, but follow-up showed a progressive increase in testosterone levels. The patient underwent gonadectomy and testicular tissue was identified without dysgenetic characteristics. She had a 46,X,inv(Y)(p11.1q11.2) karyotype, normal SRY sequence, and no Y deletions. The pericentric inversion of Y chromosome apparently did not contribute to the development of the complex urogenital malformation in this patient. Currently, no teratogenic agent, environmental factor, or defective genes have been recognized as etiologic factors for this type of urogenital malformation.

Women with BE are fertile and able to have children without this disease. The purpose of this study is to assess the sexual function and quality of life of women treated for BE. Materials and Methods: All patients in our institution treated for BE from 1987 to 2007 were recruited to answer a questionnaire about their quality of life and pregnancies. Results: Fourteen women were submitted to surgical treatment for BE and had 22 pregnancies during the studied period. From those, 17 pregnancies (77.2%) resulted in healthy babies, while four patients (18.1%) had a spontaneous abortion due to genital prolapse, and there was one case (4.7%) of death due to a pneumopathy one week after delivery. There was also one case (5.8%) of premature birth without greater repercussions. During pregnancy, three patients (21.4%) had urinary tract infections and one patient (7.14%) presented urinary retention. After delivery, three patients (21.4%) presented temporary urinary incontinence; one patient (7.14%) had a vesicocutaneous fistula and seven patients (50%) had genital prolapsed. All patients confirmed to have achieved urinary continence, a regular sexual life and normal pregnancies. All patients got married and pregnant older than the general population. Conclusions: BE is a severe condition that demands medical and family assistance. Nevertheless, it is possible for the bearers of this condition to have a satisfactory and productive lifestyle.
- A rare case of perineal hamartoma associated with cryptorchidism and imperforate anus: case report(2014) YAMAÇAKE, Kleiton Gabriel Ribeiro; GIRON, Amilcar Martins; TANNURI, Uenis; SROUGI, MiguelA full-term male neonate with anorectal anomaly and external perineal anomalies was referred to our service. Physical examination showed an epithelized perineal mass with cutaneous orifices, which had urine fistulization, hipotrofic perineal musculature, bilateral congenital clubfoot, hipospadic urethra, criptorquidy bilateral with nonpalpable testis and imperforate anus. A colostomy was constructed immediately after birth. The child underwent excision of perineal mass, bilateral orchidopexy, Duplay neourethroplasty and coloanal anastomosis at 3 months of age. The histopathological examination of the perineal mass revealed a hamartoma.
