Rapid intraoperative tissue expansion with Foley catheter in a challenging cripple Hypospadias

ABSTRACTFailed hypospadiass cases may result in hypovascular, scarred penis with residual penile chordee and leave the patient with minimal residual skin for penile resurfacing and urethroplasty. Local tissue expansion has become a good alternative to provide skin for penis by using expanders however they require long periods of time for expansion. Besides, rapid tissue expansion was also described in different tissues. We used rapid intraoperative expansion technique by using a Foley catheter in a failed hypospadias case who had minimal residual skin secondary to infection and we concluded that rapid intraoperative tissue expansion with Foley catheter is an effective, feasible reconstructive method for easy dissection and penile resurfacing in failed hypospadiass cases.</p

A Complication in Hypospadias Surgery Due to Anchoring Suture

The complication rates are still 1–90% both in proximal and distal hypospadias regardless of the surgeon’s experience and the usage of most developed techniques. The literature survey revealed few complications of glans penis including meatal stenosis, prolapsus and retraction. Despite our literature survey, we could not find any article concerning the permanent scar tissue at the dorsal part of glans following hypospadias surgeries. A new complication can be added to these, concerning glans which is the formation of postoperative scar tissue as a reaction to suture material used in traction, stent anchoring or both. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate four cases which had glanular scar due to traction suture following the surgical procedures for hypospadias repair

Hipospadiyas Cerrahisinde Askı Dikişine Bağlı Gelişen Komplikasyon

Proksimal ve distal hipospadiyas onarımlarında cerrahın deneyimi ve kullanılan tekniklerdeki gelişmeye karşın komplikasyon oranı hala %1-90 arasında değişmektedir. Literatüre bakıldığında; glans penis ile ilgili meatal darlık, prolapsus ve retraksiyonu içeren az sayıda komplikasyondan söz edilmiştir. Yapılan taramada; hipospadiyas cerrahisi sonrasında tanımlanmış glansın dorsal kısmı ile ilgili herhangi bir yayına rastlanmadı. Glansda askı, stentin tesbitlenmesi ya da her ikisinin kullanımı nedeni ile glansdan geçilen rekraksiyon dikişine bağlı gelişen ameliyat sonrası skar bu komplikasyonlara eklebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; hipospadiyas cerrahisi sırasında kullanılan askı dikişine bağlı glansda skar gelişen dört hastanın sunulmasıdır.The complication rates are still 1-90% both in proximal and distal hypospadias regardless of the surgeon’s experience and the usage of most developed techniques.

Effects of alprostadil and iloprost on renal, lung, and skeletal muscle injury following hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

Arslan, Mustafa/0000-0003-4882-5063WOS: 000382210800001PubMed: 27601882Objectives: To evaluate the effects of alprostadil (prostaglandin [PGE1] analog) and iloprost (prostacyclin [PGI2] analog) on renal, lung, and skeletal muscle tissues after ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in an experimental rat model. Materials and methods: Wistar albino rats underwent 2 hours of ischemia via infrarenal aorta clamping with subsequent 2 hours of reperfusion. Alprostadil and iloprost were given starting simultaneously with the reperfusion period. Effects of agents on renal, lung, and skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius) tissue specimens were examined. Results: Renal medullary congestion, cytoplasmic swelling, and mean tubular dilatation scores were significantly lower in the alprostadil-treated group than those found in the I/R-only group (P<0.0001, P=0.015, and P<0.01, respectively). Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration, pulmonary partial destruction, consolidation, alveolar edema, and hemorrhage scores were significantly lower in alprostadil- and iloprost-treated groups (P=0.017 and P=0.001; P<0.01 and P<0.0001). Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration scores in skeletal muscle tissue were significantly lower in the iloprost-treated group than the scores found in the nontreated I/R group (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Alprostadil and iloprost significantly reduce lung tissue I/R injury. Alprostadil has more prominent protective effects against renal I/R injury, while iloprost is superior in terms of protecting the skeletal muscle tissue against I/R injury
