Q

Clinical exam

A

• Asymptomatic abdominal tumor
• Weight loss
• Varicocele (left spermatic vein obstruction)

• Minor injuries can cause the tumor to rupture
• Examination of the abdomen: gentle palpation,
without pressure; round, smooth tumor mass in the
abdominal flank

Q

Surgical treatment

A

Purpose: surgical staging and tumor resection
• Lymph node biopsy, liver examination (possible
metastases) and contralateral kidney (tumor
invasion)
• Wide abdominal, transperitoneal incision
• Nephrectomy with or without adrenalectomy
(depending on gland invasion),
nephroureterectomy, excision of perirenal adipose
tissue and lymph node dissection
• Bilateral nephroblastoma: conservative surgery
(total tumorectomy and partial nephrectomy)

sectioning (first step)
Testicular descent (second step)
Testicular vascularization is supported by
collateral sources

  • in case of the undescended testicle
    discovered postpubertal
22
Q

Orchidectomy

  2. Secondary testicular atrophy
  3. Testicular retraction outside the scrotum
  4. Compression of the vas deferens
  5. Hemorrhage
  6. Wound infection
23
Q

Varicocele

A

Dilation of the testicular veins at the level of the
pampiniform plexus
• 90% on the left side, 9% bilaterally, 1% on the right side
• Increases the temperature in the testicle and hemyscroum (thermography), testicular atrophy, infertility

  • Effects on the testicle: testicular hypotrophy, histological abnormalities, decreased intratesticular testosterone and infertility.
  • Testicular arterial vascularization is triple: testicular artery, deferential artery, cremasteric artery
24
Q

Primary and secondary causes of varicocele

A

• Primary causes: insufficiency of the valves of the left
testicular vein or compression of the left renal vein
(aorto-mesenteric forceps = a syndrome in which the aorta and mesenteric artery compress the renal vein)

• Secondary causes: abdominal tumors, hydronephrosis etc

25
Q

Varicocele

Diagnosis

A 
• Symptomatic varicocele: chronic pain 
or discomfort
• Clinical examination: "worm lump" at 
the upper pole of the testicle (Robert  Gross)
• Scrotal Doppler ultrasound
26
Q

Classification of varicocele

A

Grade 0 (subclinical) - impalpable
(non-palpable) varicocele, identifiable only by
ultrasound
Grade 1 - palpable varicocele only at the
Valsalva maneuver, with the patient standing
(orthostatism)
Grade 2 - palpable varicocele with the patient
standing (orthostatism)
Grade 3 - visible varicocele

27
Q

Varicocele

Treatment

A

Ivanissevich: ligation of spermatic veins only
• Palomo procedure: ligation of testicular vascular pedicle (artery, veins, lymphatics)
• Both procedures can be performed in
an open manner and also in a laparoscopic version
• Embolization techniques

28
Q

Varicocele

Postoperative complications

A
  • Recurrence
  • Reactive hydrocele
  • Testicular atrophy
  • Injury to the ilio-inguinal nerve
  • Damage to the vas deferens
29
Q

• Chordee (curvature of the penis on the ventral face)
• Foreskin / scrotal abnormalities
• Frequently associated with the undescended testicle and inguinal hernia

30
Q

Classification

A 
Depending on the location of the urethral meatus:
 Anterior (distal)
 Glandular
 Coronal (in the balanic groove)
 Distal (1/3 distal to penis)
 Middle (1/3 average of the penis)
 Posterior (proximal)
 Posterior penis (1/3 proximal to the penis)
 Peno-scrotal
 Scrotal
 Perineal
31
Q

Urethral meatus abnormalities - abnormal location and configuration
• Penile curvature (cordea)

A

deficiency of the structures on the ventral face of the

penis; connective tissue cord

32
Q

Urethral meatus abnormalities - abnormal location and configuration
• Abnormalities of the skin and scrotum

A

distal to the meatus, insufficiency of the
skin (contributes to the cords), absence of the brake; the proximal skin of extremely thin meat; excess skin agglomeration on the dorsal face

33

A

the foreskin of the penis cannot stretch to

allow it to be pulled (the tight foreskin)

36
Q

Phimosis

classification

A
  • Physiological phimosis (at birth, adhesions between the foreskin and the glans)
    • - Pathological phimosis (secondary to a scarring
    process)
37
Q

Phimosis

Conservative treatment + Intermediate variant

A 
Conservative treatment (local hygiene, ointments with 
corticosteroids) or surgical (Duhamel dorsal 
debridement)

• Intermediate variant: balano-preputial adhesions; to
be unfolded gently, without surgery

38

Circumcision

A
  • Circular sectioning of the foreskin ring, optionally sectioning of the brake
  • For therapeutic or ritual or cosmetic purposes (on request)
  • Circular of separate wires or various devices
39
Q

Labial fusion

A

• The labia minora become fused together
• Partial / total attachment through a very thin bridge
(mucosa)
• Typically presents in girls at least 3 months old
• Could be associated with urinary tract infections
• Treatment: rigorous local hygiene, ointments with
estrogen or corticosteroids, deck sectioning

Q

Imperforate hymen

A

• Congenital vaginal obstructions
• Hymen without an opening obstructs the vagina
• Types hydrocolpos (distension of the vagina),
hydrometrocolpos (distension of the vagina and uterus)
• Transverse vaginal septum

41
Q

Vaginal obstruction can lead to vaginal and / or
uterine distension by the accumulation of
secretions:

A
  • Hydro (metro) colpos - clear liquid

  • Hemato (metro) colpos - blood
