Total pancreatectomy is often required to control hypoglycemic seizures in infants with nesidioblastosis. If duodenal devascularization results, reconstruction is difficult because standard biliary-intestinal anastomoses may reflux, or, in infants, become strictured. Therefore, surgeons are loath to perform such procedures. To avoid these complications, the common bile duct and the ampulla of Vater were implanted into the reconstructed duodenum.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the outcome and incidence of urinary retention after bilateral detrusorrhaphy using 2 modifications of the original Lich-Gregoir procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated the charts of 220 patients who underwent correction of bilateral vesicoureteral reflux using the extravesical approach from January 1991 to December 1997. Inverted Y detrusorrhaphy was performed in 154 patients and the advancing suture modification was done in 66. RESULTS: The success rate using the advancing suture technique was 92.4 and 95.4% at 3 and 12 months, respectively. The Y detrusorrhaphy technique was successful in 91.6 and 97.4% of cases at 3 and 12 months, respectively. The difference in the techniques was not statistically significant. Urinary retention developed in 8.4% of the patients who underwent Y detrusorrhaphy compared to 15.2% of those who underwent the advancing suture technique (not statistically significant). However, patients with grades IV and V reflux, children younger than 3 years and boys had significantly (p <0.05) higher postoperative retention rates of 24.6, 35.6 and 20.3%, respectively, when all 220 patients were considered. CONCLUSIONS: Each modification of the original Lich-Gregoir technique is highly effective for treating bilateral vesicoureteral reflux and each is associated with a low rate of temporary urinary retention. Although there seems to be a lower incidence of retention with the Y detrusorrhaphy technique, this was not statistically significant. Because of the higher incidence of urinary retention in young children, boys and/or patients with high grade reflux, we recommend that physicians consider a longer period of catheterization regardless of the technique chosen.

The split-cuff nipple ureteral implantation technique is described in 18 patients undergoing lower urinary tract reconstruction or supravesical diversion. This technique provides a simple and reliable antireflux mechanism into large and small bowel segments. No reflux or upper tract deterioration was seen initially, and only 1 case of mild reflux has occurred after 30 months of followup.
Progressive caliceal and ureteral dilatation in postoperative patients is assumed to be secondary to either postoperative distal ureteral stricture or ureteral atony. Any study used to differentiate obstruction from atony must be done with an awareness of the effect of a full bladder on the upper tracts, since it can by itself produce varying degrees of ureteral dilatation. We describe 2 patients who had virtually complete distal ureteral obstruction on anterograde pyelography with a "J" shaped distal ureteral segment. The striking observation was that the deformity and associated distal ureteral obstruction could be made to appear and disappear at will, merely by distending or emptying the bladder. We believe that this is an important factor in the progressive dilatation, as well as in the observed deterioration of renal function, and it is properly regarded as an iatrogenic complication.

We report our 3-year experience of ureteroneocystostomy without either ureteral stents or vesical catheters. There were 87 ureters repaired in 52 children. Complete followup was obtained in all cases. The operative success rate was 94.2 per cent. The postoperative complication rate was 11 per cent. None of the failures or complications seemed to be directly related to the omission of catheters. The routine omission of catheters postoperative discomfort and markedly shortened the hospital stay.
The second case of traumatic amputation of the proximal shaft of the penis is reported. Microvascular techniques were used for direct anastomoses of the dorsal arteries of the penis. The apparent advantage of immediate restoration of arterial blood supply to the corpora and skin with a reduced amount of skin slough is evident.
