Urinary elimination Flashcards
hypospadius
- Urethral opening is below normal placement on glans of penis (ventral surface-underside)
- May also have short chordee (fibrous band of the penis, will cause it to curve downward)
epispadius
Dorsal placement of urethral opening
chordee
undescended testes and inguinal hernia
surgical correction of hypospadius, epispadius, and chordee is preformed?
- 12-18 months of age
- no circumcision
- stent
cryptorchidism
- One or both testes fail to descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotal sac
- Testis may be retractable
- In 85% right testis is affected
- The affected side or bilateral scrotum appears flaccid or smaller than normal
- Unknown why this fails: Increased abd pressure, Hormonal influences
Cryptorchidism management?

- HCG - stimulates testosterone production and helps with descent
- If testis fail to descend between 1-2 years of age then surgical treatment: Orchiopexy
