Anastomotic Urethroplasty

Purpose: Management of posterior urethral distraction defects are challenging for urologists and need very careful and meticulous dissection for getting a good outcome. Dhaka medical college hospital is a tertiary referral hospital where we receive a lot of cases from different districts. The study was done to observe the outcome of anastomotic urethroplasty for posterior urethral distraction defects. Methods : This was a prospective experimental study. This study was done in a single unit of DMCH urology department by a single surgeon . Those who were suffering from posterior urethral distraction defects with suprapubic catheter in situ were included and underwent anastomotic urethroplasty from the period of January, 2018 to october, 2019. After proper evaluation and counseling all patients underwent perineal anastomotic urethroplasty under spinal anesthesia with 6-8 interrupted suture, using 4/0 vicryl. A 14 Fr Foley catheter was placed in urethral lumen and 16 Fr catheter in SPC site. A latex strip drain was placed for perineal wound. Drain was removed after 48 hours of operation . Patients were usually discharged in between 5th to 7th POD with definite follow up protocol and medications with supra pubic catheters (SPC) and per urethral catheters in situ. On 21 POD urethral catheter was removed. SPC was removed after 7 days if patient can void normally. 1st and 2nd follow up were done at the completion of 3rd and 6th month respectively. The prevalence of post-operative sexual disorders was investigated using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire during follow-up. If the patient can able to void per urethra in a well manner and Qmax>15 mL/s then repair was defined successful. Result : Success rate of perineal anastomotic urethroplasty for posterior urethral distraction defect was 83.33.%. 18 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 28.27 years. 17 patients were able to void successfully after surgical procedure but among those 2 patients had urinary flow rate < 15 ml/sec and one patient didn’t able to void. 3 patients had developed wound infection, 3 patients developed erectile dysfunction. Conclusion : Perineal anastomotic urethroplasty is gold standard for treatment of posterior urethral distraction defects. Long term follow up is needed to give a opinion regarding the ultimate outcome of the surgical procedure and that have give a good idea for future management.

Anastomotic Urethroplasty

Background: Dhaka Medical College Hospital is the highest referral center for PFUI. As anstomotic urethroplasty is a challenging surgery and most of the surgeons refer these type of injuries to our center, we performed this study to evaluate the outcome of our cases. Objective: This study aims to find the outcome and complications of perineal end to end anastomotic urethroplasty in the management of posterior urethral injury resulting from pelvic fracture. Materials and Methods: We performed 147 perineal bulbo-prostatic anastomotic urethroplasty for PFUIs from January, 2013 to May, 2019. Mean age was 37 years with majority between 21 to 50 years (>85%). Nine patients had history of failed anastomotic urethroplasty. After surgical intervention patients were discharged with a supra-pubic catheter (SPC) and per urethral catheter in situ. On 22nd POD urethral catheter was removed and SPC on the next day if patient can void normally. 1st and 2nd follow up done on of 3rd and 6th month respectively following surgery. If patient voided well and Qmax>15ml/ sec; repair was defined as successful. Results: Success rate of anastomotic urethroplasty for PFUI was 93.87%. Total 9 procedures were failed including 2 urethro-cutaneous fistula and needed re-do anastomosis. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was present in 18 patients before operation and after surgery 12 more patients developed ED and total number was 30 during first follow up, which reduced to 24 during second follow-up. Two patient developed incontinence which improved in subsequent follow-up. Conclusion: Anastomotic urethroplasty remains the gold standard in the management of PFUI. Erectile dysfunction is the main issue to be concerned and need special attention. KYAMC Journal Vol. 10, No.-4, January 2020, Page 179-183

Introduction and objectives: Congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause of hydronephrosis. Management protocols are based on the presence of symptoms and when the patient is asymptomatic the function of the affected kidney determines the line of treatment. Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) became a widely accepted procedure in children in the 1990s. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of performing percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) in all patients with UPJO and split renal function (SRF) of less than 10% in the affected kidney, because the management of such cases is still under debate. Methods:This prospective clinical trial was carried out at Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2016. Eighteen consecutive patients who underwent PCN for the treatment of unilateral UPJO were evaluated prospectively. In these children, ultrasonography was used for puncture and catheter insertion. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia was used for puncture. Pig tail catheters were employed. The PCN remained in situ for at least 4 weeks, during which patients received low-dose cephalosporin prophylaxis. Repeat renography was done after 4 weeks. When there was no significant improvement in split renal function (10% or greater) and PCN drainage (greater than 200 ml per day) then nephrectomies were performed otherwise pyeloplasties were performed. The patients were followed up after pyeloplasty with renograms at 3 months and 6 months post operatively. Results: All the patients had severe hydronephrosis during diagnosis and 14 patients with unilateral UPJO were improved after PCN drainage and underwent pyeloplasty. The rest four patients that did not show improvement in the SRF and total volume of urine output underwent nephrectomy. In the patients with unilateral UPJO who improved after PCN drainage, the SRF was increased to 26.4% ±8.6% (mean± SD) after four weeks and pyeloplasty was performed. At three and six months follow-up, SRF value was 29.2% ±8.5% and 30.8.2% ±8.8% respectively. Conclusion: Before planning of nephrectomy in poorly functioning kidneys (SRF < 10%) due to congenital UPJO, PCN drainage should be done to asses improvement of renal function.

Anastomotic Urethroplasty

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Trans-perineal urethroplasty is the preferred treatment for distraction urethral injuries in adults. However, management of such injuries in children is challenging because of functional implications in a growing child. In the present study, we aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of perineal urethroplasty for distraction urethral injuries in children. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The medical records of prepubertal pediatric patients (age &#x3c;14 years) with traumatic urethral distraction injuries managed by perineal urethroplasty were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed with respect to demographics, stricture characteristics, management, complications, follow-up, and outcome. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 14 patients were included in the study. Ten had membranous, and 4 had bulbar urethral strictures. All membranous strictures were secondary to pelvic trauma; bulbar strictures were secondary to blunt perineal trauma; 7 patients had associated pelvic fractures. Anastomotic urethroplasty was used in 10 patients (71.4%) and buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty was done in 4 patients (38.6%). The mean follow-up duration was 56 months (range 24–76). Surgery was primarily successful in 85.7%. Failed repair in 2 patients was successfully managed with augmented anastomotic urethroplasty. Post-operatively, the mean maximal urinary flow rate was 26.4 mL/s. No significant complications occurred. All boys are continent. There was no chordee or urethral diverticula, during follow-up. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In pediatric patients, bulbar and membranous strictures can be treated successfully with urethroplasty using the perineal approach. Longer follow-up is needed to confirm that these good results are maintained as these patients cross into adulthood, especially as these repairs were done before puberty.

Background : Pilonidal sinus was first described by Dr. A.W. Anderson in 1847 and is often seen in the intergluteal region. It is a disease of mainly younger male and rarely affects after 40. Main causes for the formation of this sinus are hirsutism, sweating in the area, repeated maceration due to trauma, leading to breakage of the skin barrier, attracting hair inside which initiates a foreign body reaction leading to infection with abscess or sinus formation. Most common embarrassing situation is discharging sinus. The diagnosis is mainly on clinical ground. Though there are a lot of modalities of treatment but recurrence is still a challenge. We have adopted Limberg flap technique since 2012 with a least recurrent chance. Objectives : To prove that this procedure will be end up with lower morbidity & least chance of recurrence Methods : This prospective study was done jointly by the Department of Surgery of Central Medical College and Comilla Medical College Hospital. In this series 50 patients were selected from July 2012 to June 2017. Results : Out of 50 patients operated by Limberg flap technique 42(84%) were males and 8(16%) were females. Mean age was 27.3 years (range 18–37years). Of them,12(24%) were driver, 6(12%) police, 6(12%) teacher, 6(12%) student, 5(10%) worker, 4(8%) millitary army, 4(8%) housewife, 4 (8%)service holder, 2(4%) computer operator, 1(2%) doctor and 1(2%) were barber. In our study most common mode of presentation were chronic discharging sinuses 15(30%), beside this 12(24%) had multiple sinuses, 10(20%) had multiple pits,7(14%) had acute abscess and 6(12%) had unpleasant smell. Associated hirsutism were present in 30(60%) and absent in 20(40%) patients. One (2%) male patient had wound gap & discharge and six(12%) patients had flap edema. We have found no recurrence in follow up period. Conclusion : Pilonidal sinus is a notoriously recurrent disease, so treatment by this flap technique is the only hope of cure with lower morbidity.

Paget’s disease of the breast is a rare type of cancer of the nipple–areola complex and that is often associated with an underlying in situ or invasive carcinoma. It is often misdiagnosed as eczema of breast and treatment is delayed. Here we present a case where a 30 year old female presented with itching ulceration and destruction of her left nipple. She was treated initially by local physicians by applying local ointments but as her condition did not improve she was admitted to department of surgery Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College hospital where she was diagnosed as Paget’s disease with infiltrating ductal cell carcinoma. She underwent modified radical mastectomy with axillary clearance and referred to oncology department for further management. J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2019, Vol.11(1); 81-83

This study explores the use of a new protocol in hypertension care, in which continuous patient-generated data reported through digital technology are presented in graphical form and discussed in follow-up consultations with nurses. This protocol is part of an infrastructure design project in which patients and medical professionals are co-designers. The approach used for the study was interaction analysis, which rendered possible detailed in situ examination of local variations in how nurses relate to the protocol. The findings show three distinct engagements: (1) teasing out an average blood pressure, (2) working around the protocol and graph data and (3) delivering an analysis. It was discovered that the graphical representations structured the consultations to a great extent, and that nurses mostly referred to graphs that showed blood pressure values, which is a measurement central to the medical discourse of hypertension. However, it was also found that analysis of the data alone was not sufficient to engage patients: nurses' invisible and inclusion work through eliciting patients' narratives played an important role here. A conclusion of the study is that nurses and patients both need to be more thoroughly introduced to using protocols based on graphs for more productive consultations to be established.
