Particulate Silicone for Vocal Fold Augmentation: Morphometric Evaluation in a Rabbit Model
A new technique of bladder enlargement and continent urinary diversion using the ceco-appendicular unit
The authors developed a new technique using the cecum with in-situ appendix to simultaneously achieve bladder enlargement and continent urinary diversion (CUD) in five cases of neuropathic bladder or serious complications of abdominopelvic trauma. The cecoplasty provides a large-capacity, low-pressure reservoir; the submucosally-embedded appendix gives complete continence with 3 to 5 intermittent catheterizations daily. It is an alternative to the Mitrofanoff principle when bladder augmentation and CUD are necessary, and easier to achieve when faced with a neuropathic bladder where the thickness of the detrusor makes appendicular implantation difficult

Polydimethylsiloxane in the Treatment of Sphincter Weakness Incontinence in Men with Spinal Cord Injury: Long-Term Follow-Up
Dysplasie kystique du rete testis et agenesie renale ipsilaterale chez l'enfant
Background. - Cystic dysplasia of rete testis, a rare abnormality, is often associated with renal agenesis. Case report. - A 5-year-old boy was examined because he presented large scrotum. This was initially considered as hydrocele. Surgery showed a cystic dysplasia of the testis that in this patient was associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. Conclusion. - This congenital abnormality, explained on the basis of embryological development, has been reported in 15 children. The testis appears cystic at surgical exploration; echography can affirm diagnosis and MRI can give specific features. A conservative attitude is proposed as this lesion is benign. Long- term follow-up is recommended for possible painful effects or growth of the lesion
