This study aimed to describe the experience with clitoroplasty for clitoral hypertrophy in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia of a single surgeon. The medical records of female pediatric patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who underwent clitoroplasty at a tertiary referral hospital between 2002 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Three different surgical techniques were applied for clitoroplasty: recession without reduction, reduction and recession, and girth reduction and recession. A total of 104 patients underwent clitoroplasty for clitoral hypertrophy. The median patient age at the time of surgery was 10 months (range, 4 months to 10 years). The operation time was longer in reduction clitoroplasty than in recession clitoroplasty without reduction (median, 153 vs. 111 min, p = 0.003). The mean postoperative pain score of the patients did not differ among the different clitoroplasty techniques. During the mean follow-up of 37.7 months, nine (8.6%) patients underwent reperformed clitoroplasty. The rate of reperformed operation was significantly higher in patients who underwent reduction clitoroplasty (17.3%) than in those who underwent recession without reduction (2%) or girth reduction and recession (0%) (p = 0.031). Early clitoroplasty in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia yielded good mid-term surgical outcomes in terms of cosmesis and recurrence rate, with minimal perioperative complications.

Feminizing Genitoplasty

Aim: To analyze a single-centre experience in feminizing genitoplasty in virilized girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Methods: Review of medical records of all 46, XX CAH patients undergoing single stage feminizing genitoplasty between 2003 and 2018 was performed. Results: A total of 31 girls aged from 4 months to 10 years were included in the study. The majority (n = 26/31, 84%) were operated before 2 years of age (median 8 months). External virilization was rated as Prader 3 (n = 7/31), Prader 4 (n = 21/31) and Prader 5 (n = 3/31). The urethrovaginal confluence location was low in 19 and high in 12 girls with a percentage distribution similar in Prader 4 and 5 (p > 0.05) but significantly different in Prader 3 (p = 0.017). The follow-up ranged from 12 months to 15 years. All parents assessed the cosmetic result as satisfactory. Perioperative complications occurred in two patients and included rectal injury (n = 1/31) and prolonged bleeding (n = 1/31). Three patients developed late complications including labial atheromas (n = 2/31) and vaginal stricture requiring surgical dilatation (n = 1/31). Low confluence did not decrease the risk of complications. Conclusions: Early feminizing genitoplasty in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, irrespective of virilization severity, gives satisfactory cosmetic results and is characterized by low and acceptable surgical risk. Nevertheless, the most important determinant of the effectiveness of such management would be future patients’ satisfaction.

Abstract Background Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a type of strabismus characterized by a sudden onset of large angle esotropia with diplopia, which often occurs in children after infancy, teenagers, and young adolescents. However, studies on the surgical outcomes of only adults are rare. The purpose of this article is to analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with AACE. Methods Medical records of 24 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥ 60 sec/arc. Results The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.1 ± 10.4 PD at distance and 33.3 ± 11.2 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 7.5 ± 4.5 months (range 1–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 3.4 ± 6.1 PD at distance and 3.8 ± 6.7 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 79.2% (19/24). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 50.0% (12/24). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery (p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time (p < 0.05). Conclusions Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

Abstract Aim To report feasibility and surgical outcomes of recurrent inguinal hernia repair after TransInguinal PrePeritoneal (TIPP) repair. Material and Methods Patients who underwent recurrent IHR after TIPP between January 2013 and January 2015 in a single hernia-dedicated teaching hospital were included. Exclusion criteria were femoral hernia, incarcerated hernia and reasons for unreliable follow-up. Electronic medical records were assessed retrospectively to register surgical outcomes and complications. Results Thirty-three patients underwent surgical repair of recurrent inguinal hernia after TIPP. Twenty patients were treated with a “re-TIPP when possible” strategy; resulting in 13 successful re-tipps and 7 conversions to Lichtenstein repair. Eleven patients underwent primarily a Lichtenstein’s repair, the remaining two patients underwent recurrent IHR using other techniques (transrectus sheath Pre-Peritoneal and transabdominal preperitoneal repair). Mean time of surgery was 44.7 minutes (standard deviation 16.7). There was one patient (3.0%) with a re-recurrent inguinal hernia during follow-up. Other minor complications included urinary tract infection. There were no significant differences in post-operative results between the different surgical techniques used for recurrent IHR. Conclusions These results indicate that after TIPP it is feasible and safe to perform re-surgery for recurrence with an anterior approach again. For these recurrences, a Lichtenstein can be performed, or a ‘re-TIPP if possible’ strategy can be applied by experienced TIPP surgeons. Whether a re-TIPP has the same advantages over Lichtenstein as is for primary inguinal hernia surgery, needs to be evaluated in a prospective manner.

Abstract Treatment of superomedially displaced acetabular fractures including a quadrilateral surface (QLS) is challenging. We present a surgical technique using an anatomical suprapectineal QLS plate through the modified Stoppa approach and report the availability of this plate to treat this fracture type along with the surgical outcomes. Thirteen consecutive patients (11 men and 2 women) who underwent surgical treatment using an anatomical suprapectineal QLS plate through a modified Stoppa approach for superomedially displaced acetabular fractures between June 2018 and June 2020, were enrolled retrospectively. These fractures included 10 both-column fractures and 3 anterior-column and posterior hemitransverse fractures, which were confirmed on preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography. Surgical outcomes were clinically assessed using the Postel Merle d’Aubigné (PMA) score and visual analog scale (VAS) score at the final follow-up, and radiological evaluations were performed immediately after the operation and at the final follow-up. The follow-up period was longer than 1 year in all patients with a mean 22.9 months. The mean operation time was 103 min. Anatomical reduction was achieved in 11 (84.6%) patients, while imperfect reduction was achieved in the remaining two (15.3%) patients. At the final follow-up, radiographic grades were excellent, fair, and poor in 11 (84.6%), one (7.6%), and one patient, respectively. The mean PMA score was 16.3 (range, 13-18) and the mean VAS score was 1.0 (range, 0-3). No secondary reduction loss or implant loosening was observed. However, two patients underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty due to post-traumatic arthritis and subsequent joint pain. No other complications were observed. Simultaneous reduction and fixation using an anatomical suprapectineal QLS plate through the modified Stoppa approach can provide satisfactory outcomes in superomedially displaced acetabular fractures, resulting in shorter operation times and fewer complications.

Abstract Background: To analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). Methods: Medical records of 21 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥60 sec/arc. Results: The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.0 ± 11.6 PD at distance and 32.6 ± 10.8 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 8.1 ± 4.5 months (range 3–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 4.1 ± 5.7 PD at distance and 3.9 ± 5.6 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 76.2% (16/21). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 55.5% (11/21). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery ( p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

Abstract Background Females with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and atypical genitalia often undergo complex surgeries; however, their outcomes remain largely uncertain. Methods We searched several databases through 8 March 2016 for studies evaluating genital reconstructive surgery in females with CAH. Reviewers working independently and in duplicate selected and appraised the studies. Results We included 29 observational studies (1178 patients, mean age at surgery, 2.7 ± 4.7 years; mostly classic CAH). After an average follow-up of 10.3 years, most patients who had undergone surgery had a female gender identity (88.7%) and were heterosexual (76.2%). Females who underwent surgery reported a sexual function score of 25.13 using the Female Sexual Function Index (maximum score, 36). Many patients continued to complain of substantial impairment of sensitivity in the clitoris, vaginal penetration difficulties, and low intercourse frequency. Most patients were sexually active, although only 48% reported comfortable intercourse. Most patients (79.4%) and treating health care professionals (71.8%) were satisfied with the surgical outcomes. Vaginal stenosis was common (27%), and other surgical complications, such as fistulas, urinary incontinence, and urinary tract infections, were less common. Data on quality of life were sparse and inconclusive. Conclusion The long-term follow-up of females with CAH who had undergone urogenital reconstructive surgery shows variable sexual function. Most patients were sexually active and satisfied with the surgical outcomes; however, some patients still complained of impairment in sexual experience and satisfaction. The certainty in the available evidence is very low.

Abstract To determine the efficacy of unilateral lateral rectus recession (ULR) for convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-type IXT), we compared surgical outcomes following ULR and recess‒resect (RR) procedures for CI-type IXT. In this retrospective study, medical records of 57 children who underwent ULR (n = 30) or RR (n = 27) for CI-type IXT of less than 25 PD at distance with a postoperative follow-up of 6 months or more were reviewed. Surgical success was defined as an alignment between 10 PD exodeviation and 5 PD esodeviation at distance and near fixation. The postoperative exodeviation showed no significant difference between the two groups at the last follow-up. A significant reduction in the mean near-distance difference was achieved postoperatively in both groups: from 5.4 PD preoperatively to 2.5 at last follow-up after ULR, and from 8.2 to 2.4 after RR (both p = 0.001). However, this difference between ULR and RR was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The success rate at the last follow-up was 63.3% for ULR and 70.4% for RR (p = 0.574). ULR was found to be an effective treatment for CI-type IXT, with similar surgical outcomes to RR.

ABSTRACT A method for the fractionation of the urinary 17-ketogenic steroids with no oxygen grouping at C11 and those oxygenated at C11, is applied to the clinical problems of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In normal children the mean ratio of the non-oxygenated to oxygenated steroids is 0.24. In childrern with congenital adrenal hyperplasia the ratio is 2.3. The reason for this difference in ratio is discussed. The changes in ratio found under stimulation of the adrenal gland with exogenous or endogenous corticotrophin and the suppression with cortisone therapy are studied. This test can be applied to isolated samples of urine, a major advantage in paediatric practice, and can be carried out in routine laboratories. It is found to be reliable in the diagnosis and sensitive in the control of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Introduction: Since Longo First described it in 1998, Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy has been emerging as the procedure of choice for symtomatic hemorrhoid. Several studies have shown it to be a safe, effective and relative complication free procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the suitability of (SH) as a day cas procedure at Hue University Hospital. Methods: From Decembre 2009 to April 2012, 384 patients with third- degree and fourth-degree hemorrhoids who underwent Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy were included in this study. Parameters recorded included postoperative complications, analegic requirements, duration of hospital stay and patient satisfaction. Follow-up was performed at 1 month and 3 months post-operative. Results: Of the 384 patients that underwent a Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy 252 (65,7%) were male and 132 (34,3%) were female. The mean age was 47,5 years (range 17-76 years. Duration of hospital stay: The mean day was 2,82 ± 1,15 days (range 1-6 days). There were no perioperative complications. There was one case postoperative complication: hemorrhage; Follow-up after surgery: 286 (74,4%) patients had less anal pain, 78 (20,3%) patients had moderate anal pain, 3 (0,8%) patients had urinary retention; Follow-up after one month: good for 325 (84,6%) patients, average for 59 (15,4%) patients; Follow-up after three months: good for 362 (94,3%) patients, average for 22 (5,7%) patients. Conclusion: Our present study shows that Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy is a safe, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and a faster return to unrestricted daily activity
