An abnormally large prostatic utricle cyst associated with unilateral renal agenesis.

Prostatic utricle cyst is an uncommon congenital disorder associated with urogenital anomalies. We present a case of an abnormally large prostatic utricle cyst filling the whole of the abdominal cavity with unilateral renal agenesis in an 8-year-old male child.

Hypospadias with dorsal chordee: Case report of a novel approach for correction.

We report a novel surgical technique for correction of dorsal chordee with coronal hypospadias. The bulbar elongation and anastomotic meatoplasty procedure gave an excellent cosmetic and functional outcome.

Prepubertal presentation of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome: a case report.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome represents a complex female genital malformation with uterus didelphys, unilateral low vaginal obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis, all 3 being secondary to mesonephric duct-induced müllerian anomalies. Clinically, this usually presents in postpubertal adolescent or adult women where hematometrocolpos produces a more pronounced mass effect and pain on the side of the obstructed hemivagina. It is extremely rare for this to present in infancy and early childhood because imaging may not show the small prepubertal uteri and vaginas clearly.

Our 10-year experience of variable Müllerian anomalies and its management.

Purpose: Though the Müllerian duct anomalies are rare in incidence, their variable age, and mode of presentation makes their management difficult.

Methods: In the last 10 years authors managed 14 patients with different types of Müllerian anomalies. There were eight patients with complete Müllerian agenesis: three of partial Müllerian agenesis, one patient had uterine didelphys with vertical and transverse vaginal septum on left side, one patient had uterine didelphys with cervical agenesis on the right side, one patient had MRKH with anorectal malformation.

Single-stage feminizing genitoplasty in aphallia through an anterior saggital approach.

Purpose: An ideal feminizing genitoplasty in aphallia should achieve good cosmesis and capacious vagina in a single-stage repair. Most of the techniques described in the literature are variations of the posterior sagittal approach with staged repair. We describe a single-stage anterior sagittal approach for feminizing genitoplasty in cases of aphallia.

Our experience of ureteral substitution in pediatric age group.

Objectives: To find appropriate ureteric substitute in the pediatric age group.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was done from 2003 to 2008 of all patients operated in our hospital who had undergone ureteric replacement. All cases were followed up to find conduit patency, renal function, and any related complication.

Use of the processes vaginalis: A new technique for reinforcing the neourethra in hypospadias associated with undescended testis.

Context: The incidence of undescended testis (UDT) along with hypospadias varies from 6 to 31%. The simultaneous repair of UDT and hypospadias is rarely done. Herein, we present a novel technique to use processes vaginalis as a vascular cover for neourethra in a hypospadias patient with UDT.

Use of the processus vaginalis: A new technique for reinforcing the neourethra in hypospadias associated with undescended testis.

Incidence of the undescended testis (UDT) along with hypospadias varies from 6 to 31%. The repair of UDT and hypospadias is rarely done simultaneously. Here we present a novel technique that uses processus vaginalis as vascular cover for neourethra in hyposapdias patients with UDT.

Biliary atresia associated with choledochal cyst.

Choledochal cyst and biliary atresia are rare but important causes of neonatal jaundice. Both present with jaundice and acholic stool in neonatal period. Treatment and prognosis of both entities are very different.

Urethral duplication in children: our experience of eight cases.

Objective: Duplication of urethra has varied presentations and multiple techniques have been described for its correction. We present our experience in the management of this anomaly.

Material And Method: We retrospectively reviewed the records of eight patients treated for urethral duplication in 1998-2008.

Fetus in fetu: two case reports and review of literature.

Fetus in fetu is a rare disorder. Its embryopathogensis and differentiation from teratoma has not been well established. It is a parasitic twin of a diamniotic monozygotic twin.

Video assisted thoracic surgery in children.

Thoracoscopic surgery, i.e., video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been in use in children for last 98 years.
