Circumcaval ureter: a report of four cases in children with a review of the literature and a new classification.

4 cases of circumcaval ureter presenting in childhood are reported. A review of the literature reveals that most cases recieve attention only later in life at a time when ureteric changes are not so readily reversible. A study of the course of the ureter reveals that 2 forms can be distinguished: a common Type I with a slter reveals that 2 forms can be distinguished: a common Type I with a low loop and kinking of the proximal ureter producing obstruction and a rare Type II with a high loop where there is no kinking and no obstruction. Ureteric remodelling on the ordinary principles formulated for congenital obstructions can give good results.

The prognosis of pelviureteric obstruction in childhood: a review of 190 cases.

190 children with pelviureteric obstruction are reviewed. Their symptoms are analysed and the pre- and post-operative radiographic appearances are assessed. The results are very encouraging with a clinical improvement in the majority of patients, free ureteric drainage in almost all and an improvement in the calyceal pattern in 65.9%.

Sexual function in hypospadiacs.

The sexual function of 82 patients treated for hypospadias was assessed. It was concluded that the sexual function in these patients was unsatisfactory only following incomplete or incorrect surgery. The aim of surgery should be to achieve a straight penis with an adequate urethral lumen and a urethral orifice situated at the tip of the glans. Proper assessment of chordee and meticulous care in surgical technique are the prerequisites for success. They are the only preventive measures of the physical, psychic, sexual and social handicaps to which hypospadiacs are subjected.

Urethral duplications in the male.

A classification of duplications of the male urethra has been presented together with our clinical experience. The commonest variety is epispadiac form which may be complete, incomplete or abortive. Less common are the hypospadiac forms and very much rarer are the spindle urethras where the bladder neck and also the distal urethra are single. The bifid urethra with pre-anal accessory track is relatively common but has often gone unrecognised.
