PURPOSE: Many patients who undergo bladder exstrophy closure as newborns, subsequent epispadias repair and later bladder neck reconstruction become completely continent yet complications can occur. After successful initial exstrophy closure and later epispadias repair some patients may fail to gain sufficient capacity for bladder neck reconstruction or satisfactory capacity and continence after bladder neck reconstruction. In an attempt to understand the pathogenesis of these failures we compared bladder biopsies from normal neonates and those with exstrophy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bladder biopsies obtained from the midline of the bladder wall just above the base of the trigone from 12 newborns with exstrophy were compared to bladder sections from 9 neonatal cadavers. All bladder specimens were stained with monoclonal antibodies against type I, III or IV collagen and a subset was further stained with Masson's trichrome to define the extracellular matrix. All specimens were then analyzed using a color digital image analysis system. RESULTS: At initial examination of the extracellular matrix there was an increase in the collagen-to-smooth muscle ratio from 0.38 in controls to 1.2 in newborns with exstrophy, comprising an increase in collagen and decrease in smooth muscle. The collagen component of the extracellular matrix was then further defined to quantitate the amount of each collagen type (I, III and IV) deposited. We then evaluated the ratio of collagen type-to-total collagen sampled. Compared to control bladders there was no statistical difference in the amount of type I or IV in the bladders of newborns with exstrophy at initial closure. However, there was a 3-fold increase in type III collagen (0.14 +/- 0.05 to 0.46 +/- 0.2%, p < 0.001) in the bladders of neonatal controls versus newborns with exstrophy. CONCLUSIONS: This alteration in collagen makeup may represent an earlier developmental stage of the exstrophy bladder at birth, which then remodels and changes after successful initial closure. Further studies are underway to examine the collagen composition of bladders at bladder neck reconstruction, failed closures and augmentation. 相似文献

Inguinal hernia (IH) is relatively common in premature newborn infants, and the timing of surgical correction is controversial. We studied 40 premature infants who developed an IH and who were initially treated in a neonatal intensive care unit. Birth weight (BW) ranged from 492 to 2,401 g; 21 infants had a BW less than 1,000 g. The weight of the infants at operation ranged from 1,000 to 4,400 g. Twenty-one patients underwent herniotomy within 2 weeks after the diagnosis (short waiting group), in which 1 case of incarceration occurred; 19 waited longer than 2 weeks between diagnosis and surgery (long waiting group). Two cases of strangulation occurred in this latter group, and in 1 of those testicular necrosis occurred. Operation time was analysed in boys with bilateral herniotomy (n = 25): the short waiting group (n = 12) showed a significantly reduced operation time compared to the long waiting group (n = 13). Patients weighing less than 1,000 g at birth (n = 21) had a longer average waiting period for surgery. In the group of male patients with bilateral herniotomy, average operation time was longer in the group weighing less than 1,000 g at birth (n = 13) than in the group over 1,000 g (n = 12). Body weight at surgery did not affect operation time. It is concluded that early hernia repair should be considered in premature infants to avoid operative difficulties and gonadal ischaemia caused by incarceration. 相似文献

A case of covered exstrophy without sequestration of a bowel segment is reported. A 4-year-old female presented with dribbling of urine. Treatment to date has been simple excision of the covered membrane with functional closure of the bladder and bilateral posterior iliac osteotomies, with reconstruction of the bladder neck and genitalia to be performed at a later date. The embryogenesis of this rare variant, a review of the reported cases, and management options are discussed. Keyword Covered exstrophy. Exstrophy. Bladder variants 相似文献

Congenital para-oesophageal hiatal hernia (PEHH) is a rare problem in infancy, however, it constitutes a clinical entity that mandates surgical repair once the diagnosis is made. In the paediatric age group, acquired PEHH has been described as a major complication in a number of patients who were treated surgically for gastro-oesophageal reflux (GER) by Nissen fundoplication. PEHH is a frequently encountered condition in elderly patients; it accounts for 5% of diaphragmatic hiatal hernias. In both paediatric and adult patients PEHH, whether congenital or acquired in origin, is usually associated with potentially lethal complications such as gastric volvulus, incarceration, and perforation. In clinical practice true PEHH is extremely rare. The term has been expanded to include large gastric hiatal hernias where most of the stomach and the gastro-oesophageal junction are in the chest. Six infants with congenital PEHH are presented, together with an attempt to understand its possible aetiology and a review of its current surgical management. 相似文献

Incisional hernia repair with conventional techniques (simple closure, Mayo-technique) is associated with unacceptable recurrence rates of 30-50%. Therefore, surgical repair using different prosthetic biomaterials is becoming increasingly popular. Further to favourable results by French hernia surgeons, we studied the results of underlay prosthetic mesh repair using polypropylene mesh in complicated and recurrent incisional hernias. METHOD: After preparation and excision of the entire hernia sac, the posterior rectus sheath is freed from the muscle bellies on both sides. The peritoneum and posterior rectus sheaths are closed with a continuous looped polyglyconate suture. The prosthesis used for midline hernias is positioned on the posterior rectus sheath and extends far beyond the borders of the myoaponeurotic defect. The anterior rectus sheath is closed with a continuous suture. The prosthesis for lumbar and subcostal hernias is placed in a prepared space between the transverse and oblique muscles. Intraperitoneal placement of the mesh must be avoided. RESULTS: Between January 1996 and August 1997 we performed a total of 33 incisional hernia repairs (14 primary hernias, 19 recurrent hernias) using this technique (16 women, 17 men, mean age 56.19 +/- 12.92 years). Local complications occurred in four patients (12%): superficial wound infection (n = 2), postoperative bleeding, requiring reoperation (n = 1), minor hemato-seroma (n = 1). One patient suddenly died on the 3rd post-operative day from severe pulmonary embolism (mortality 3%). Twenty-two patients with a minimum follow up to 6 months were re-examined clinically. The average follow-up time for this group was 9 months (range 6-17 months). To date no recurrent hernias have been observed. There were only minor complaints like "a feeling of tension" in the abdominal wall (n = 3) and slight pain under physical stress (n = 6). CONCLUSIONS: The use of prosthetic mesh should be considered for repair of large or recurrent incisional hernias, especially in high-risk patients (obesity, obstructive lung disease) and complicated hernias. The aforementioned technique of underlay prosthetic repair using polypropylene mesh fixed onto the posterior rectus sheath allows for anatomical and consolidated reconstruction of the damaged abdominal wall with excellent results and low complication rates. 相似文献

Two patients following bladder exstrophy repair presented for final cosmetic reconstruction with the characteristic lower abdominal midline scar, bisected mons pubis, and laterally displaced labia majora. Tissue expanders were used to obtain additional skin and subcutaneous tissue. After adequate serial expansion, the expanders were removed, scar tissue excised, and primary approximation of healthy tissues performed. A tension-free closure and esthetically pleasing midline incision, mons pubis, and vulva were obtained. 相似文献

A series of 68 primary midline incisional hernias with a vertical Mayo repair was evaluated retrospectively. Patients without documented hernia recurrence following this repair were invited for physical examination. Life-table methods were used for statistical analysis. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative recurrence rates were 35%, 46%, 48%, and 54%, respectively. Also, generally accepted risk factors were studied. Multivariate analysis identified the size of the hernia (p = 0.02) and the use of steroids (p = 0.04) as the most important independent risk factors of first time recurrent incisional hernia. Considering the high recurrence rates found, the results of this study strongly suggest that the vest-over-pants repair should no longer be used for closure of midline incisional hernias. 相似文献

Controversy exists about the timing of surgery in neonates and infants with congenital anomalies such as refluxing and/or obstructing megaureters and ectopic ureteroceles. Discussion acuminates to the fact whether or not early reconstruction causes irreversible damage to the urodynamic properties of the bladder. Between 1986 and 1992, 49 neonates and infants with obstructing or refluxing megaureters and 23 neonates and infants with ectopic ureteroceles have been operated in our hospital with a mean follow-up of 7.3 years. Reimplant surgery consisted of a modified Politano Leadbetter procedure, ureterocele surgery consisted of complete excision of the ureterocele, including the urethral part, with reconstruction of the urethra, bladder neck and bladder base combined with ureteral reimplants. Urodynamically no unexpected changes or deteriorisation have been seen in any of the patients. Bladder capacity for age, especially in the reflux group, averages 200%. Two of the ureterocele patients needed clean intermittent catheterisation for several years. Results of reflux cure in megaureter surgery were disappointing in ureters with a flat diameter between 6 and 9 mm's that were not recalibrated leading to the conclusion that in young children recalibration of the distal ureter should be done from 6 mm's upwards. No post-operative ureteral obstruction was observed in any of the cases. The conclusion is that early major reconstructions of the lower urinary tract causes no specific harm to the urodynamic properties of the bladder and pelvic floor, provided that the surgery is performed by specialised pediatric urological surgeons. The reported urodynamic problems in this patient group are probably related to lack of experience to deal with dysfunctional voiding habits that are quite common in these children, also after successful surgery. These micturation problems are not related to the surgical procedures, they are the result of pre-existing urodynamic changes of bladder function in these children. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The management of intractable urinary incontinence in the patient with cloacal or bladder exstrophy/epispadias, failed bladder neck plasty, or failed augmentation cystoplasty remains a surgical challenge. The myofascial wrap, a modification of the rectus fascial wrap, was developed to treat intractable urinary incontinence due to sphincteric incompetence in these problematic cases. A full-thickness, vascularized pedicle of anterior rectus sheath, rectus abdominis muscle, and posterior rector sheath is incorporated into a bladder neck wrap to provide support, mucosal coaptation, and active muscular tone. METHODS: Eight patients (5 females and 3 males) with total urinary incontinence due to sphincteric incompetence underwent the myofascial wrap. Urinary tract pathology included cloacal exstrophy (2), female epispadias (2), classic bladder exstrophy (1), male epispadias (1), myelomeningocele (1), and a pelvic tumor (1). The procedure is performed by harvesting a full-thickness strip of pedicled rectus muscle along with the anterior and posterior fascial sheaths. The strip is passed underneath and then over the bladder neck in a near 360 degrees wrap. The free end of the wrap is anchored into the pubic bone in an ipsilateral subperiosteal pouch. RESULTS: Six of the 8 patients are completely continent, and 2 patients void spontaneously without the need for catheterization. CONCLUSIONS: The myofascial wrap provides support, mucosal coaptation, and muscular tone to an incompetent sphincter and bladder neck. Favorable results in a very difficult population of pediatric patients warrant its continued use. 相似文献

The long-term results of primary closure for large ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in infants under 1 year of age with severe symptoms were studied over a period of more than 10 years. Between January, 1971 and March, 1982, 49 infants underwent primary closure of a VSD through a right ventriculotomy using complete cardiopulmonary bypass with mild hypothermia. There were four hospital deaths but no late deaths. Two of four infants with residual shunts had a left ventricular-right atrial shunt which necessitated reoperation. Surgical heart block occurred in two infants who recovered sinus rhythm in the late period. The cardiothoracic ratio decreased from 60.5% preoperatively to 50.6% in the late postoperative period. Examination by cardiac catheterization revealed that the pulmonary-to-systemic pressure ratio (Pp/Ps) of 23 patients with a Pp/Ps of over 0.75 fell from 0.89 +/- 0.09 preoperatively to 0.42 +/- 0.12 by 1 month postoperatively, then to 0.27 +/- 0.05 in the late postoperative period. The latest values for the cardiac index and left ventricular ejection fraction were 3.4 l/min per m2 and 64.4%, respectively. More than 10 years after their operation, all the survivors were growing normally and maintaining a good quality of life, which supports our recommendation that primary repair should be performed in the first year of life for infants with large VSDs. 相似文献

Hernias and hydroceles are common conditions of infancy and childhood, and inguinal hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed pediatric surgical operations. As a result of improved neonatal intensive care, more and more premature babies are being delivered, and consequently the incidence of neonatal inguinal hernia is increasing. The most important aspect of the management of neonatal inguinal hernias relate to its risk on incarceration, and emphasis is placed on this point. This article covers the embryology, incidence, clinical presentation, and treatment of groin hernias and hydroceles, as well as dealing with abdominal wall hernias other than umbilical hernias. This article places special emphasis on when a patient with a hernia or hydrocele should be referred to a pediatric surgeon. 相似文献

This study consists of a preliminary report of 94 cases with various types of inguinal hernias. All cases were repaired by a new technique, in which the herniotomy is performed via a preperitoneal approach and the repair is achieved by using a bipedicled flap from the external oblique aponeurosis, which is transpositioned into the preperitoneal space and sutured to the iliopubic tract. The details of this technique are herein described. After a follow-up ranging from 15 to 48 months, both the early and late complications are presented. They were minimal and of minor significance, apart from a hernial recurrence in one case. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Operations for large and recurrent abdominal hernias have a high associated recurrence rate, although it is lower when prosthetic material is used. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) seems to be the best tolerated prosthetic material in surgery. METHODS: A series of 45 ventral hernias repaired using ePTFE for closure or reinforcement of the herniorrhaphy has been evaluated prospectively. Thirty-six were midline incisional hernias and nine were transverse or pararectal ventral hernias. There were 13 recurrent ventral hernias and three defects were operated as an emergency procedure. The patch was sutured to the anterior aponeurosis with a running non-absorbable suture. Some other kind of intra-abdominal procedure was undertaken in 12 cases. RESULTS: ePTFE was well tolerated. Complications occurred in five patients. Major complications were found in three patients: cutaneous necrosis requiring a myocutaneous flap; and infection of the prosthesis (primary, and secondary to enterocutaneous fistula due to diverticulitis, both requiring removal of the patch). Mean follow-up was 39 months and hernia recurrence occurred in only one patient. CONCLUSION: This clinical experience shows that ePTFE is a very reliable prosthetic material for the repair of abdominal wall hernias. 相似文献

To find an alternative to synthetic mesh closure of abdominal fascial defects after transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap harvest, dermal autografts were removed from tissue to be discarded and used for fascial closure. Dermal grafts have been used for herniorrhaphy and fascial repair after TRAM harvest previously, but have never been systematically studied. The dermal autograft technique was used in 24 patients to repair or reinforce anterior rectus sheath or external oblique fascia after TRAM harvest for breast reconstruction. During the same period, 25 other patients underwent TRAM breast reconstruction with abdominal wall closure by other methods. All patients were followed by serial physical examinations given by the operating surgeon. Average follow-up in the dermal autograft group was 12.6 versus 12.0 months in the second group. In the dermal autograft group, two patients complained of bulging of the anterior abdominal wall; one developed a true hernia, away from the location of the dermal autograft. In the second group, two patients experienced bulging. Wounds and infectious complications were similar in both groups. Dermal autografts are a useful alternative to mesh repair or direct closure of fascial defects after TRAM flap harvest. 相似文献

The authors analyze the result of Shouldice inguinal hernia repair in 1000 patients. In a total of 1034 hernias, 966 of them were unilateral and 68 bilateral. The hernias were indirect (61.7%), direct (24.9%) and combined (3.5%). There were 102 recurrent hernias (9.9%) and the mean age of the patients was 50 years. In most cases the patients were male (96.9%) and peasants (47.6%). The post-operative follow-up was annual in 65.8% of the patients, for a period up to 10 years. The recurrence rate was 0.8% in the cases of primary hernias and 4.9% in the case of recurrent ones. 相似文献

Inguinoscrotal bladder hernias are uncommon clinical facts more predominant in males aged between 50 and 70. This entity has no specific clinical character and diagnosis usually happens in the course of surgical repair of inguinal hernia. In about 3%-10% cases, it appears associated to inguinal hernia. Discussion of two case-reports of patients with giant inguinoscrotal bladder hernia; one patient with synchronous association to bladder transitional carcinoma. The literature on the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects is revised. The high index of suspicion for making a pre-operative diagnosis, specially in aged patients with inguinal hernia and expanded prostate signs and symptoms is highlighted. Emphasis is placed on the need for surgical hernia repair prior to prostate and/or bladder transurethral surgery. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The usual methods of closure of major chest and abdominal wall defects have significant disadvantages. Skin grafts provide no structural support and result in incisional hernias. Synthetic mesh requires skin cover and is prone to infection and wound breakdown. The tensor fasciae latae (TFL) myocutaneous flap offers skin cover and a semi-rigid fascial layer. We document our unit's experience in pedicled and free TFL flaps. METHODS: The TFL flap closure of trunk defects was undertaken in 10 patients between August 1989 and April 1997. All cases were not amenable to primary closure and repair with synthetic mesh or skin grafts. RESULTS: The defect was satisfactorily repaired in all cases without subsequent herniation. The closure techniques using a pedicled TFL flap and a TFL flap for a free-tissue transfer are described. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the TFL flap is the method of choice for repairs of major truncal defects. 相似文献
