17
Q

What is the pathophysiology of hypospadias?

A

Failure or urogenital folds to fuse during development

18
Q

Symptoms of hypospadias

A

-Recurrent UTIs
-ED
-Deflection of urinary stream

19
Q

What is the management for a patient with hypospadias?

A

Patients should NOT be circumcised because the foreskin can be used to repair the defect

Elective surgical correction: Performed in healthy, full-term infants ages 6 months - 1 year

20
Q

On the other hand, what is epispadias?

A

Abnormal DORSAL placement of the urethral opening

21
Q

Epispadias is often associated with what?

A

Bladder exstrophy (protrusion of the bladder wall through a defect in the abdominal wall)

22
Q

What is the pathophysiology of epispadias

A

Failure of midline penile fusion

23
Q

Treatment for epispadias?

A

Surgical correction

24
Q

What is enuresis?

A

Episodes of urinary incontinence in children 5 years of age or older, while sleeping

25
Q

What is the difference between primary and secondary enuresis?

A

Primary: absence of any period of nighttime dryness (MC type)

Secondary: enuresis after a period of dryness of at least 6 months. Due to stressful event (divorce, birth, etc.)

26
Q

First-line therapy for enuresis?

A

behavioral therapy (washable products, motivational therapy, education)

Bladder training: regular voiding, schedule, waking child to urinate, avoid caffeine and high sugar drinks, fluid restriction

27
Q

What is the most effective LONG TERM therapy for enuresis?

A

Enuresis alarm. Used if children fail to respond to behavioral therapy.

28
Q

What are two medications that can be used in the treatment for enuresis?

A

Desmopressin (DDAVP): synthetic antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Reduces urination

Imipramine: TCA, stimulates ADH secretion

29
Q

What is priapism?

A

Prolonged, painful erections without sexual stimulation

30
Q

MC type of priapism

A

Ischemic (low flow): decreased venous outflow. Painful and rigid erection. May lead to compartment syndrome.

31
Q

However, the other type of priapism is

A

Nonischemic (high flow): increased arterial outflow. Due to fistula and commonly related to penile or perineal trauma. Less painful and not super rigid penis.

32
Q

Etiologies of priapism

A

MC is idiopathic
Others include: sickle cell disease, drugs (cocaine, marijauna, alcohol). Trauma. Trazodone, PD5 inhibitors, Alpha blockers. Head trauma. Subarachnoid hemorrhage.

33
Q

What diagnostic can be done if the erection lasts longer than 4 hours?

A

Cavernosal blood gas (low flow shows hypoglycemia, hypoxemia, and hypercarbia)

34
Q

First-line medication for priapism

A

Phenylephrine (intracavernosal injection). Causes contraction of cavernous smooth muscle which increases venous outflow.

35
Q

Other treatments for priapism

A

-Needle aspiration (can be used with phenylephrine)
-Ice packs
-Terbutaline (if < 4 hours)
-Shunt surgery saved for refractory cases

36
Q

However, if the priapism is HIGH FLOW, what is the treatment?

A

Observation for most cases (most resolve on their own)

37
Q

MC etiology of urethral injuries

A

Blunt trauma: straddle-type falls
-Other causes: physical or sexual assault

38
Q

Symptoms of a urethral injury

A

-Gross hematuria
-Dysuria
-Urinary retention
-Lower abdominal pain

39
Q

What is seen on physical exam of a patient with a urethral injury?

A

-Blood at urethral meatus
-Swelling or ecchymosis of the scrotum
-High-riding prostate

40
Q

What is the diagnostic test of choice for a urethral injury?

A

Retrograde urethrogram (done prior to catheterization)

41
Q

What’s the hallmark triad of symptoms for a urethral injury?

A

-Blood at urethral meatus
-Inability to void
-Distended bladder

42
Q

Treatment for urethral injury

A

-Nonoperative: catheter placement and monitoring
-Operative: temporary suprapubic catheter placement prior to repair
