The extended use of deflux (dextranomer/hyaluronic acid) in pediatric urology.

The use of injectable bulking agents into the submucosal layer of the pediatric urinary tract continues to grow. Treatment strategies for vesicoureteral reflux and urinary incontinence have changed with the introduction of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid as a minimally invasive option. Socially and medically debilitating conditions requiring major surgical reconstruction and hospitalization in the past have now been replaced by outpatient endoscopic procedures. As experience has been gained, broader uses of this agent have been applied to more complex etiologies of reflux and incontinence.

Glandular hypospadias repair.

Glandular hypospadias represents approximately 15% of the hypospadias variants seen. This article will examine common surgical approaches applicable to the child with glandular hypospadias. Hypospadias repairs discussed in this article will include urethromeatoplasty, MAGPI, the GAP procedure, MIV glans plasty, urethral advancement procedure, and parameatal based flap variants, including the Mathieu and Barcat procedures. Because these anomalies are cosmetically less aberrant than more proximal variants, only those surgical techniques which assure a normal-appearing penis should be undertaken.
