25
Q

What is exstrophy of the bladder?

A

Open, inside-out bladder

First born, white males

26
Q

What are s/s of exstrophy of the bladder?

A
  • Open bladder & exposed urethra
  • Low set umbilicus
  • Diastasis of the symphysis pubis
  • Anteriorly displaced anus
  • Inguinal hernia
  • Genital defects
27
Q

A

Prenatal U/S (confirmed w/ MRI sometimes)

28
Q

How do you treat exstrophy of the bladder?

A

Induced vaginal delivery or planned c-section, followed by surgery within 72 hours

29
Q

What are characteristics of hypospadias?

A

Ventral placement of urethral opening

10% have cryptorchidism

30
Q

Hypospadias: what should you NOT do?

A

Don’t circumcise at birth! Foreskin is used for repair

31
Q

How do you dx hypospadias?

A

Newborn PE:

  • abnormal foreskin
  • abnormal penile curvature
  • 2 urethral openings
32
Q

How do you treat isolated hypospadias?

A

Repair before 18mos

33
Q

How do you treat hypospadias w/ cryptorchidism?

A

Increased risk for DSD so requires further workup:
Pelvic U/S
Karyotype
Serum electrolytes

34
Q

What is the MC congenital abnormality of the GU tract?

A

Cryptorchidism

35
Q

Those w/ cryptorchidism are at increased risk for…

A

Infertility & testicular CA

36
Q

How do you dx cryptorchidism?

A

Newborn exam

2-6mo: Measure LH, FSH, inhibin B, testosterone

HCG stimulation test

37
Q

How do you treat cryptorchidism?

A

If no descent by 6-12 mos:

Palpable –> orchiopexy

Non-palpable –> exploratory surgery

38
Q

What is the MC associated abnormality of testicular torsion?

A

Bell clapper deformity

39
Q

Who is at increased risk for testicular torsion?

A

Neonatal

Males < 25yo: Puberty MC

40
Q

What are s/s of testicular torsion?

A

Abrupt onset pain
N/V
Swollen, edematous
Absent cremaster

41
Q

How do you treat testicular torsion?

A

Detorsion & fixation

Orchiectomy if nonviable (> 24 hrs)

42
Q

Describe a “communicating” hydrocele

A

Caused by failure of processus vaginalis to close

Peritoneal fluid around testis can pass through

43
Q

Describe a “non-communicating” hydrocele

A

No connection to peritoneum

Fluid comes from mesothelial lining of tunica vaginalis

44
Q

How do you dx hydroceles?

A

Transilluminate
Doppler U/S

Communicating may increase in size, but non-communicating stay the same

45
Q

On what side of the body are varicoceles MC?

A

Left!

46
Q

How do you treat varicoceles?

A

R/o IVC obstruction via:
Doppler U/S

Ligation or testicular vein embolization
