A transpubic approach for reconstructive surgery of genitourinary injuries and congenital malformations.

Four children were operated on by the transpubic approach for injury to the vagina or urethra and to correct malformations within the pelvis minor. One boy had posttraumatic stricture of the urethra, and a girl presented with disruption of the urethra and vagina. One of two boys who had congenital malformations was treated for epispadias and incontinence; the other for a large urethral diverticulum caused by anal atresia. Total reconstruction was achieved, and no complications of symphysis restoration were observed.

Long-term results after megaureter folding in children.

In 56 megaureters treated by the folding technique, good results were obtained in 52 (93%). Complications in four ureters included stenosis (2) and vesico-ureteral reflux (2). The width of the megaureters and minor renal calyces, the degree of hydronephrosis, and the serum urea and creatinine levels decreased significantly after the operation. The renal parenchyma thickness and the creatinine clearance level increased significantly.

Hemangioma of the superior caval vein.

The authors have removed a benign tumor of the anterior mediastinum which happened to be a hemangioma of the superior caval vein. After three months the girl is assymptomatic but, in chest radiograms, paralysis of the right part of the diaphragm persists.

Follow-up studies on surgical treatment of vesicoureteric reflux in 141 children.

The results of reimplantation of ureters in 141 children by a modified Politano-Leadbetter procedure are presented. 86 children were examined 3 to 13 years after operation. Cessation of signs of infection, reflux and ureteric obstruction was noted. The most common illnesses and congenital disorders of the urinary tract which accompany vesicoureteral reflux are discussed. Postoperative complications are also described.

Surgery of megaureters--modification of Hendren's operation.

It was Hendren's contribution to introduce an aggressive restorative procedure for the entire urinary tract in children with the megaureter syndrome. Our own experience in applying this method enabled us to more critically assess its value and prompted us to introduce some modifications. Instead of longitudinally resecting the dilated ureter we applied a method in which the dilated ureter wall is folded. This prevents injury to the ureter wall and its necrosis. We have given up excessive shortening of the elongated ureter, since the elongation proved to be spurious. We have also given up reconstruction of the upper part of the ureter.
