Erectile and voiding function outcomes after buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty for long-segment bulbar urethral stricture: ventral versus dorsal onlay technique.

Purpose: To compare the impact of dorsal versus ventral onlay buccal mucosa graft bulbar urethroplasty on postoperative erectile function status.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records for 232 patients who underwent dorsal and ventral onlay buccal mucosa graft bulbar urethroplasty from March 2012 to April 2021. Outcomes were urinary and erectile function status as assessed by IIEF5-15 score at preoperative, three months, and 12 months post-urethroplasty.

Evaluation of Upper Urinary Tract Integrity After Radical Cystectomy and Orthotopic Diversion with Ileal and Sigmoid Neobladder.

The study aims to evaluate the effects of orthotopic urinary diversion using ileal and sigmoid segments after radical cystectomy on upper urinary tract function and morphology. A retrospective study included 60 patients divided into 2 equal groups (W-ileal pouch group and sigmoid pouch group). We assessed renal function and morphology post-operative after 6 months and after 1 year by serum creatinine, ultrasound, IVP, pouchogram, and renal scan study.

Temporary vesicostomy in pediatrics: What are the potential predictors of functional and morphological improvement of the upper urinary tract?

Introduction: Vesicostomy is a simple, well-tolerated, and reversible procedure with few complications that safeguards upper urinary tract (UUT), decreases VUR grade, decreases UTI, and preserves renal function and should be considered in patients with PUV who have undergone prior valve ablation and bladder function not improved, and in myelodysplastic children that do not respond to catheter drainage [1-4].

Objective: We evaluated the temporary vesicostomy as a safeguard of the UUT in children with bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, and high-grade VUR with sepsis and assessed the possible predictors of the UUT's morphological and functional improvement since these have been rarely explored in previous reviews.

Study Design: We evaluated the outcome and complications of temporary vesicostomy who were operated on 69 children at our center from 2014 to 2019.

Comparison of Subureteral Endoscopic Injection of Dextranomer/Hyaluronic Acid and Lich-Gregoir Ureteral Reimplantation in the Treatment of Pediatric Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux: A Prospective Randomized Study.

The gold standard of surgical intervention of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is open ureteral reimplantation with high success and low complication rates. However, in recent years, endoscopic injection, dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA), has become an effective therapy for VUR. It is noted that limited prospective randomized trials compare the different surgical techniques of especially endoscopic injection versus open procedures.

Endopyelotomy versus redo pyeoloplasty for management of failed pyeloplasty in children: A single center experience.

Purpose: We compared endopyelotomy to redo pyeloplasty for the treatment of failed pyeloplasty in children to identify factors that may have an impact on outcome and favor one procedure over the other.

Methods: Of 43 patients with recurrent UPJO, EP was performed in 27 and RP was performed in 16. Age, gender, side, presentation of secondary UPJO, hospital stay, complications and success rates were compared.
