Introduction: Management of severe penile trauma presents great challenges for reconstructive urologists since these injuries vary from abrasions to total emasculation. A review of our case experience with penile amputation is presented, emphasizing techniques used to salvage or reconstruct the most difficult of penile injury cases.
Materials And Methods: A total of 13 patients with penile amputation injury referred to us between 2007 and 2016 were analyzed.
Purpose: Despite a variety of free flaps that have been described for creation of the neophallus in gender affirmation surgery, none present an ideal solution. We evaluated our patients and outcomes after gender affirmation phalloplasty using musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi free flap.
Methods: Between January 2007 and May 2017, 129 female transsexuals, aged 20-53 years (mean 24 years) underwent total phalloplasty using latissimus dorsi free flap.
Aims: (1) to identify the most dysregulated genes in ureter tissue affected by congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and to extract the biological meaning of these markers; (2) to describe the key molecular networks in CAKUT and to provide expression validation of the genes selected from these networks.
Main Methods: Transcriptome data was obtained from ureter samples of CAKUT patients and controls by Illumina iScan microarray. Identification of differentially expressed genes was coupled with subsequent bioinformatics analyses.
Objective: To present our technique of musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi (MLD) free-flap total phalloplasty. This technically demanding female-to-male gender reassignment surgery consists of creating a neophallus from extragenital tissue.
Methods: The presented technique included: removal of internal and/or external female genitalia, creation of neophallus using latissimus dorsi free flap, clitoral incorporation into the neophallus, urethral lengthening, and insertion of testicular implants into the newly created scrotum.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate damage of the kidney with technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-DMSA) scintigraphy in children with congenital hydronephrosis (CH) and the influence of other postnatal associated diagnoses on abnormal Tc-DMSA findings.
Subjects And Methods: Tc-DMSA scintigraphy in 54 children (17 girls and 37 boys), aged from 2 months to 5 years (median 11 months) with 66 congenital hydronephrotic renal units (RU) (42 unilateral hydronephrosis-29 boys and 13 girls; 12 bilateral hydronephrosis-8 boys and 4 girls) was performed. Male/female ratio was 2,2:1, unilateral/bilateral hydronephrosis ratio was 4:1.
