Article Synopsis
- Pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is a leading cause of hydronephrosis in newborns, and early detection is crucial for preventing kidney damage and complications, especially when surgical intervention like pyeloplasty is required.
- This study examined the relationship between urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and interleukin 18 (IL-18) levels, as well as the degree of kidney damage in Wistar rats with PUJO over different time points.
- The findings suggest that while NGAL levels did not show significant changes, IL-18 levels varied significantly across different groups and time points, indicating it could be a useful biomarker for predicting kidney damage in PUJO cases
Article Synopsis
- Hypospadias Overview
- : Hypospadias is a common congenital condition that is increasingly diagnosed worldwide, with surgery being a common treatment; however, complications, particularly urethrocutaneous fistulas, still arise despite advancements in surgical techniques.
- Study Objective
- : This research aims to identify risk factors associated with the development of urethrocutaneous fistulas post-hypospadias surgery by analyzing data from multiple hospitals across Indonesia.
- Methodology and Results
- : A retrospective study was conducted involving 591 cases from 12 hospitals, focusing on factors such as repair technique and neourethra length. The majority of patients were older than four years at the time of surgery, and various surgical methods
Background: Hypospadias is the second most common congenital anomalies among human congenital disabilities. There are over 300 surgery techniques being introduced to treat hypospadias. The successful of hypospadias repair is assessed by several outcomes as well as complications following surgery.
