1/2. Rectourinary fistula with a narrow urethra.A rectourinary fistula is a common accompaniment of anorectal malformations (arm) in boys. Most boys pass urine normally after reconstruction and closure of the fistula, but a few have serious problems because of a narrow urethra. In our series, a narrow urethra was encountered in three types of male arm: 3 rectourethral fistulae, 4 rectovesical fistulae, and 6 H-fistulae. We have studied the diagnostic and therapeutic problems that a narrow urethra produces in patients afflicted with each of these malformations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Giant urethral diverticulum: unusual complication following ventral buccal mucosa onlay graft urethroplasty.During the past 10 years, buccal mucosa grafting for urethroplasty has gained widespread acceptance. In general the reported success rates are 80% and higher. Typical complications are recurrent strictures, fistula, and, especially when the technique of ventral onlay urethroplasty has been used, sacculations that are of little clinical significance in most cases. The development of large diverticula has not been described yet. We report on the case of a 63-year-old man who developed a giant diverticulum of the urethra 1 year after a ventral buccal mucosa onlay graft urethroplasty for recurrent bulbar urethral strictures had been worked out.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.11111111111111keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
