Management of bladder exstrophy in adulthood: report of 5 cases.

Objective: To report our experience in the management of adult classic bladder exstrophy.

Patients And Methods: During 1977-2006 we treated five adult males presenting with classic exstrophy-epispadias complex. Patient age at presentation ranged from 17 to 30 with a mean age of 23 years.

Pediatric and adolescent transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty.

Purpose: Pediatric urethral stricture disease represents a significant surgical challenge because of smaller pelvic confines, decreased caliber and increased tissue fragility. Operative series of pediatric urethral reconstruction usually involve small numbers. In this study, we examined the outcome of open reconstructive techniques for pediatric and adolescent patients with posterior urethral distraction injuries.

Detection of enteropathogens in fatal and potentially fatal diarrhea in Cairo, Egypt.

A 1-year study of the etiology of acute diarrhea complicated by severe (10%) dehydration, active bleeding, shock and cardiovascular collapse, pneumonia, acute renal failure, or seizures in infants under 18 months of age was performed in Cairo, Egypt. Of 145 infants, 19 (13%) died or left the hospital moribund; the remaining 126 patients were classified as having potentially fatal illness. A variety of enteropathogens were identified with approximately equal frequency in the fatal and nonfatal complicated cases as well as in 135 controls with severe uncomplicated diarrhea.

Role of uroflowmetry in the assessment of lower urinary tract obstruction in adult males.

A group of 173 prostatic patients were submitted to a prospective study to determine the respective value of symptoms, uroflowmetry, endoscopic and radiological findings in the assessment of the degree of urinary obstruction. Uroflowmetry proved to bring objective evidence of the degree of obstruction with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Maximum urinary flow appears to be more accurate than other flow parameters in the determination of lower urinary tract obstruction.
