Experience with meatal advancement and glanuloplasty (MAGPI) hypospadias repair.

Our experience with the procedure of meatal advancement and glanuloplasty (MAGPI) is reviewed with a note on the technique. It was found that MAGPI can improve the position of the urethral meatus, correct meatal stenosis, release associated skin chordee and produce the aesthetic appearance of a normal penis. The fistual rate was zero and there were no other complications. It is recommended as the operative procedure of choice for glanular, coronal and selected cases of subcoronal hypospadias.

Resection was carried out in seven patients for gangrenous bowel or presence of a leading point. The main complication was that of wound infection which occurred in eight patients.

Congenital lobar emphysema: problems in diagnosis and management.

A retrospective study was made of 9 patients with congenital lobar emphysema who presented over the past 13 years. The ages of the patients at diagnosis ranged from 2 weeks to 10 years. The earlier the presentation, the more severe were the symptoms. Two patients were misdiagnosed initially at the referring hospitals with near disastrous results. Pitfalls in diagnosis are outlined and the various investigative procedures discussed. A flow chart for the diagnostic approach is presented. Treatment was usually by lobectomy but 2 older children presenting late with mild symptoms were managed conservatively with satisfactory results.
