    Urology Scientific Session Monday, September 28, 2020 Moderators/Panelists: Drs. Sabine Zundel, Sameh Shehata, Holger Till, Yuri Kozlov, Philipp Szavay, Eduardo Perez (S26) PNEUMOVESICOSCOPIC CORRECTION OF PRIMARY VESICOURETERAL REFLUX (VUR) IN CHILDREN. - OUR INITIAL EXPERIENCE- A. M. Benaired, Pediatric, Surgeon; H Zahaf, Pediatric, Surgeon; Military Central Hospital Purpose: Vesicoureteral reflux is a common urological abnormality predisposing risk of childhood hypertension and chronic renal failure. It is called primitive when it is due to an abnormality of the vesicoureteral junction. Different treatment approaches have been proposed a long time. Two main trends can be identified, conservative and operative approach. The main objective of our prospective study is to demonstrate the feasibility of vesicoscopic crosstrigonal ureteral reimplantation under CO2 pneumovesicum in treatment on primary vesicoureteral reflux and analyze results of this approach. Methods: A total of 60 patients underwent transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation (33 boys, 27 girls) by the same surgeon from Mai 2011 to Mai 2015. All patients had primary vesicoureteral reflux, and surgery was performed because of breakthrough urinary tract infection despite antibiotic prophylaxis, persistent high grade of vesicoureteral reflux especially in association with significant renal scarring, mean age at operation was 47.47 month (5 month - 12 years). Of the 60 patients, 34 had bilateral reflux and 26 had unilateral reflux. The reflux grade in the total of 94 ureters was grade IV, V in 59.57%, grade III in 35.11% and grade II in 5.32% in association with contralateral high grade vesicoureteral reflux. Our surgical methods followed those reported by Valla et al. Results: The transvesicoscopic procedure was successfully completed in all patients without perioperative complication except one case of pneumoperitoneum that required exsufflation by open laparoscopy.

The available data confirm the excellent outcome of stenting obstructive lesions. When stenting proves difficult or in case of a ureteral leakage, laparoscopic aided stenting is strongly suggested, in order to avoid further damage while permitting simultaneous repair if necessary. Laparoscopic suturing of a laceration over a stent is clearly superior to stenting only.

  • OMENTAL TRANSPLANTATION and CELL CULTURE. By: ROSENDO
    OMENTAL TRANSPLANTATION and CELL CULTURE. by: ROSENDO CRIOLLOS, M.D. A thesis submitted to the faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Science Degree. Department of Experimental Surgery, McGill University, MONTREAL. APRIL 1964. (i) P R E F A C E. The tremendous progress in medicine, especially in cardiovascular surgery during the pBst few decades bas promoted development of measures for the control and cure of various anomalies and diseases by surgical means. While the controversy over the different procedures of revascularization for an ischaemic heart still continues, the rate of surgery in the management of the occlusive coronary artery disease is widely accepted; as James Bryce so ably said, WMedicine is the only profession that labours incessantly to destroy the reason for its own existence". If this be true allow me to thank Dr. Arthur Vineberg for letting me be one of the labourera in his investigations on free omental grafts as a method to revascularize the ischaemic heart. For the 1~ years that I have expended in the field of research under his supervision I wish to extend my appreciation of his thought provoking discussions on the problems encountered throughout this investigation that lead me to develop a method of scientific thinking. These studies afforded me the opportunity to explore more fully the vascularization activities of the omental tissue in re-establishing itself while set free in ectopie environments which resulted in the finding of a (ii) three day minimum of such free omental grafts to become revascularized. The work certainly has roused my interest and enthusiasm in the importance of experimental medicine, enabling me to complete the training in general surgery with better perspective and understanding.

Abstract: Gender related genitourinary surgeries are vitally important in the management of gender dysphoria. Vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty and their associated surgeries help patients achieve their main goal of aligning their body and mind. These surgeries warrant careful adherence to reconstructive surgical principles as many patients can require corrective surgeries from complications that arise. Peri- operative assessment, the surgical techniques employed for vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and their associated procedures are described. The general reconstructive principles for managing complications including urethroplasty to correct urethral bulging, vaginl stenosis, clitoroplasty and labiaplasty after primary vaginoplasty, and urethroplasty for strictures and fistulas, neophallus and neoscrotal reconstruction after phalloplasty are outlined as well.
