1/3. hypertrophy of labia minora in myelodysplastic women. Labioplasty to ease clean intermittent catheterization.female myelodysplastic patients are sometimes annoyed by hypertrophy of the labia minora, possibly caused by long-term diaper dermatitis. This condition makes intermittent catheterization difficult and impairs the cleanliness and aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia. We successfully performed labioplasty on 3 myelodysplastic females.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = catheterization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Delayed bladder rupture after augmentation enterocystoplasty.Delayed bladder perforation with peritonitis following augmentation enterocystoplasty in children with spina bifida is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication. Our experience with 4 such cases is presented. All patients had spina bifida with a neuropathic bladder and they had undergone augmentation enterocystoplasty with a tubular colonic segment of large bowel as part of an undiversion procedure. All patients were being managed with intermittent self-catheterization. The interval from augmentation enterocystoplasty until presentation ranged from 6 months to 3 years. diagnosis was delayed in all cases, including 3 in which cystogram studies were normal despite findings of extravasation of urine at exploration. In 1 patient generalized sepsis developed with the respiratory distress syndrome and, subsequently, she died.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = catheterization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. urinary tract undiversion in a patient with an areflexic neurogenic bladder: management with intermittent catheterization.Neurogenic bladder disease generally is though to be a contraindication to urinary undiversion. We describe a teenage boy who received an ileal conduit for an areflexic neurogenic bladder. He had a poor emotional reaction to the diversion and requested reconstruction. After extensive studies undiversion was done. The neurogenic bladder has been managed with intermittent catheterization. Thus far, the result has been quite satisfactory.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = catheterization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
