Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the occurrence of compensatory sweating (CS) after two different techniques for thoracoscopic sympathectomy (TS) aimed at treating palm sweating, specifically comparing sequential TS versus bilateral same-setting TS.
- - It involved 38 patients aged 5 to 18, with no significant differences in patient demographics, and highlighted that both techniques resulted in similar rates of CS development post-surgery.
- - The results suggested that bilateral same-setting TS is not only as effective as sequential TS in managing CS but also has advantages like a shorter surgery time and lower overall costs.
Purpose: To present our surgical experience and outcomes in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) patients with severe virilization using a combined technique of total urogenital mobilization (TUM) and a modified pull-through vaginoplasty to perform a safe and effective one-stage feminizing genital reconstruction for these children.
Methods: Fourteen CAH patients with severe virilization, defined by a Prader IV and V rating of the external genitalia, underwent TUM followed by a limited vaginal pull-through procedure from June 2016 to December 2020. Postoperative anatomical and cosmetic outcomes, and urinary continence, were evaluated.
The Pan African Paediatric Surgery Association (PAPSA) was formed in 1994. The need for an organisation in Africa to voice children's surgery and the trials and tribulations in forming this organisation was covered in this journal 2 years ago (Heinz R, Kyambi J, Lakhoo K. Surg Int 34(5):499-504, 2018).
