Transverse Testicular Ectopia with Fused Vas Deferens: A Case Series.

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly where both gonads descend towards the same side of the hemiscrotum. Although more than 100 cases of TTE are reported, TTE with fused vas are extremely rare. We present our series of 4 TTE patients with fused vas [4, 7, 9 and 26 months old].

Characteristic Radiological findings in Preterm Infants with Missed Intestinal Perforation.

Background: Pneumoperitoneum on radiological imaging is typical in intestinal perforation in necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC]. However, it is not seen in all cases and intestinal perforation is missed on occasions. We present a series of preterm infants with characteristic x-ray findings that on exploration revealed missed intestinal perforation.

Idiopathic urethritis in children: Classification and treatment with steroids.

Background: Idiopathic urethritis [IU] in children is of unknown etiology and treatment options are limited. We propose a classification for IU based on cystourethroscopy findings and symptoms (Grade 1 - 4) and report our experience with use of topical and oral steroids in IU.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective data collection of all male children (0-16 years) diagnosed with IU over a period of 8 years between 2005 and 2012 at our institution.

Steroid instillation for idiopathic urethritis in children: an 8-year experience.

Purpose: Idiopathic urethritis (IU) in children is of unknown etiology and treatment options are limited. We aim to report our experience with steroid instillation in IU in children.

Methods: Retrospective data collection of all male children diagnosed with IU over a period of 8 years.

Asymptomatic meconium peritonitis presenting as inguinal hernia in a female neonate.

Inguinal hernias in girls are often irreducible when they contain ovaries. Rarely the hernial sacs may have unusual contents like vermiform appendix, uterus and urinary bladder. We report a case of a female infant who presented with bilateral irreducible inguinal hernias presumed to be due to ovaries.

Pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction in malrotated kidneys in children.

Purpose: Pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction associated with malrotated kidney is very rare. In such cases, dismembered pyeloplasty poses technical difficulties. We present our experience with management of PUJ obstruction in malrotated kidneys in children and their outcomes.

Retrieval of proximally migrated double J ureteric stents in children using goose neck snare.

Purpose: Proximal migration of the ureteric double J stent is a rare but known complication. We describe three cases where a minimally invasive technique for retrieval of displaced double J stents using Amplatz(™) goose-neck snare was successful.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients with displaced double J stent was carried out, in whom cystoscopy guided retrieval of double J stent was attempted with the help of Amplatz goose-neck snare under radiological control.
