Urology/Renal Flashcards
1
Q
Define Phimosis
A
- Inability to retract the foreskin
2
Q
Management of Phimosis
A
- corticosteroids
- Circumcision
3
Q
Do no retract foreskin before infant turns what age
A
- 6 months
4
Q
Define Paraphimosis
A
- Retracted foreskin in an uncircumscribed male that can not be returned to natural position
- entrapment -> impaired venous flow -> engorgement -> Arterial compromise
5
Q
Management of paraphimosis
A
- manual reduction
- or urology consult for surgery
6
Q
Define hypospadias
A
Congenital anomaly that results in abnormal ventral placement of the urethra
7
Q
Management of hypospadias
A
- Referral to Urology
- surgery performed at 6 months
8
Q
Define Cryptorchidism
A
- A testis that is not within the scrotum and does not spontaneously descend by 4 months of age
9
Q
Cryptorchidism may increase the risk of these conditions
A
- Testicular cancer
- Subfertility (improved if corrected before 1 yr of age)
- testicular torsion (10x more common)
10
Q
Most common located for cryptorchidism
A
- suprascrotal
11
Q
Tx for cryptorchidism
A
- Spontaneous descent is rare after 6 months
- surgery around 6 months
12
Q
Define testicular torsion
A
- Twisting of the spermatic cord due to a poorly attached testicle (should be anchored to tunica vaginalis) that may result in vascular compromise
13
Q
Peak incidence of testicular torsion
A
- Neonatal - extravaginal
- puberty
14
Q
Test of choice to diagnose testicular torsion
A
- Ultrasound
15
Q
Tx of testicular torsion
A
- immediate urology referral
- surgerical detorsion and fixation
- detorsion within 4-6 hrs = 100% viable; after 12 hrs = 20% viable; after 24 hours = 0% viable
