OBJECTIVE
Laser tissue soldering has been shown to provide safe and effective tissue closure by creating an immediate leak-free anastomosis with minimal scar formation. We compared the results of laser tissue soldering and conventional suturing for hypospadias repair.
METHODS
A consecutive group of
OBJECTIVE
Laser tissue soldering (LTS) with the diode laser and human albumin-hyaluronate-indocyanine green solder is a safe and effective method of providing an immediate leak-free closure during hypospadias repair. In this report, we compare the physiology, histology, and immunohistochemistry of
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in the postoperative treatment of hypospadias in children.
METHODS
A total of 84 male children with hypospadias treated by surgery were randomly divided into a control and an rhGH group of equal number, the former treated
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of albumin glutaraldehyde tissue adhesive (BioGlue) in the surgical treatment of patients with hypospadias.
METHODS
Two groups of 20 patients each who underwent hypospadias repair were included in the study. In the first group we utilized BioGlue as
Investigators have attempted sutureless surgery to decrease operative time, lessen the inflammatory response, maintain luminal continuity, and increase the ease of performing technically difficult surgery. Only recently has laser-tissue welding (LTW) been used for urologic reconstruction in humans.
BACKGROUND
The prognosis of Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) and Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is not clear.
METHODS
Five patients with CNS and four patients with DDS, which causes secondary CNS, were studied retrospectively.
RESULTS
Seven patients were sporadic and two DDS
