Article Abstract

Wilm's tumor, an embryonal tumor that develops from remnants of the immature kidney, is the most common primary malignant renal tumor of childhood and accounts for approximately 6%-7% of all childhood cancers. Here, we present a case of a 10-year-old female with stage IV Wilm's tumor involving the bilateral kidneys. She ultimately required complex genitourinary reconstruction via a transureteroureterostomy following extensive oncologic resection. This case highlights the critical role of Urologists at an early stage in cases requiring complex genitourinary reconstruction.

Objective: Conventional penile venous surgery for erection restoration and surgery for penile augmentation have been controversial. Based on de novo penile fibrovascular assembly, we report innovative penile venous stripping (PVS) and factual penile girth enhancement (FPGE).

Methods: From 2013 to 2023, refractory impotence and dysmorphia prompted 31 patients to seek PVS and FPGE, and all of them were confirmed with veno-occlusive dysfunction.

Rationale: Ureteral stricture is a complex urological condition often requiring surgical intervention. Autologous tissue grafts, such as lingual mucosa, have emerged as a promising option for reconstruction due to their favorable biocompatibility and vascularity. However, reports on complications associated with these techniques remain limited.

The surgical approach of ureteral stricture has changed dramatically over the past 15 years with the rise of robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of all robotic ureteral reconstructions performed at a single academic center for ureteral stricture and to assess the predictive factors of stricture recurrence. The charts of all patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction between 2013 and 2024 at a single academic center were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Although prior studies have estimated the burden of pediatric surgical disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through statistical modeling and hospital- or household-based surveys, few large-scale descriptions of procedures and outcomes have been published. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of children's surgical care at multiple centers across Africa.

Methods: Perioperative clinical data were collected prospectively from 2018 to 2023 at 17 hospitals in 11 African countries using a preexisting tool.

Fournier's gangrene is a severe necrotizing soft tissue infection requiring urgent debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics with large defects posing cosmetic and functional challenges. This review presents considerations and possibilities for reconstruction of the scrotum after heavy debridement, mainly focusing on split-thickness skin grafts and local flap techniques. While flaps provide superior cosmetic and protective outcomes, grafts are simpler and more cost-effective.
