ENGLISHPEDIATRIC UNIT 5 CONG. URINARY

Congenital Defect of the Genitourinary System

Explain/Define Hypospadias and Epispadias in children

Hypospadias and epispadias are congenital conditions that affect the urethra in children.

Hypospadias:

It occurs when the opening of the urethra is on the underside (underside) of the penis instead of the tip of the penis. This can range from a mild curvature to a more severe form where the opening is close to the scrotum.

Epispadias:

In this condition, the urethral opening is at the top of the penis instead of at the tip of the penis. This is a rarer condition than hypospadias.

Explain the Etiology/cause of the child with the Hypospadias and Epispadias.

The exact cause is unknown,
Due to genetic factors,
Due to hormonal factors,
Due to environmental factors,
Due to developmental abnormalities,
As mother’s age is more than 35 years,
Due to exposure of the mother to certain types of teratogenic substances during pregnancy,
Due to the mother’s intake of substances like smoking and alcohol during pregnancy,
Being a family history.

Explain the types of the Hypospadias And Epispadias

Types of hypospadias are as follows.

1) Glandular hypospadias,
2) Subcoronal (penile) hypospadias,
3) Midshaft (penile) hypospadias,
4)Penoscrotal hypospadias,
5) Perineal hypospadias.

••>

1) Glandular hypospadias,
In glandular hypospadias the urethral opening is located at the glans penis (tip of the penis). This is the mildest form of hypospadias.

2) Subcoronal (penile) hypospadias,
In subcoronal (penile) hypospadias, the urethral opening is just below the glans penis but still within the coronal sulcus, the groove separating the glans from the shaft of the penis.

3) Midshaft (penile) hypospadias,
Midshaft (penile) hypospadias The urethral opening is along the shaft of the penis, somewhere between the glans and the base of the penis.

4)Penoscrotal hypospadias,
In penoscrotal hypospadias, the urethral opening is between the penis and the scrotum or extends over the scrotum.

5) Perineal hypospadias.
In perineal hypospadias, the urethral opening is located at the perineum (the area between the scrotum and the anus). This is the most severe form of hypospadias.

Types of epispadias are as follows.

1) Glandular epispadias,
2) penile epispadias,
3) Panopubic epispadias

••>

1) Glandular epispadias,
In glandular epispadias the urethral opening is located on the dorsal aspect (upper side) of the glans penis.

2) penile epispadias,

  • Explain/Define Exstrophy of bladder in children.

Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital condition where the bladder does not develop properly in its normal place. The bladder is inside and exposed to the outside of the body through the abdominal wall. It also often occurs with other abnormalities of the urinary track and pelvic bone.

It is also known as ectopia vesicae i.e. malposition and displacement of the urinary bladder from its normal position in the pelvic cavity.

Exstrophy Means “Turned Inside Out” Bladder Exstrophy is a congenital abnormality of the bladder. This condition usually occurs when the skin of the lower abdominal wall is not properly formed so the bladder is open and exposed to the outside of the body.

Explain/Define Undescended testes Testes (Define undescended testes.)

Undescended testes, also known as “cryptorchidism”, is a condition in which one or both testes fail to move down from the abdomen into the scrotum before both.

This condition can affect the development and function of the testes. This condition is more commonly seen in preterm infants.

Normally the testes are present in the abdominal area of ​​the fetus till 7 months of intrauterine life and the testis descends into the scrotum between 8 and 9 months of intrauterine life.

When due to some type of factor these testes do not descend in the scrotum and the testes remain present in the abdominal area of ​​the newborn, this condition is called undescended testes.

Explain the types of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (Specify type of undescended testes/cryptorchidism.)

Two types of undescended testes/cryptorchidism
is as follows.

1) Pseudocryptorchidism
2)True cryptorchidism

1) Pseudocryptorchidism

The condition of pseudocryptorchidism occurs when the testis is felt in the inguinal canal or scrotum but retracts back into the groin area when the child is examined. It gives the appearance of an undescended testis, but in reality, the testis is temporarily able to descend into the scrotum.

Pseudocryptorchidism is often due to normal reflexes, such as the cremasteric reflex.

which causes the testes to retract in response to certain stimuli such as cold or touch. Unlike true cryptorchidism, in pseudocryptorchidism, the testes can be manually manipulated into the scrotum and remain there.

2)True cryptorchidism

This condition of true cryptorchidism occurs when one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum and persist in the undescended testis.

True cryptorchidism can be unilateral (affects only one testis) or bilateral (affects both testes).

True cryptorchidism is usually caused by abnormal development or failure of the testes to descend properly into the scrotum during fetal development.

Thus, pseudocryptorchidism usually involves the testes temporarily retracting into the groin area due to a normal reflex, whereas in true cryptorchidism one or both testes persistently fail to descend into the scrotum.

Explain the Etiology/ cause of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (State the cause of undescended testes/cryptorchidism.)

Due to abnormal development,
Due to hormonal factors,
Due to genetic factors,
Due to pre-mature birth,
Due to maternal factor,
Due to intrauterine growth restriction,
Due to certain environmental factors,
Due to certain medical conditions,
Due to hypothalamic pituitary gonadal eczema impairment,
Due to a hereditary condition,
Due to chromosomal abnormalities.

Explain the clinical manifestation/ sign and symptoms of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (State the symptoms and signs of undescended testis/cryptorchidism.)

Absent testes in the scrotum,
Feeling of palpable mass and bulge like structure in groin area and inguinal canal,
The scrotum appears small and empty.
The scrotum appears asymmetrical,
future fertility issues,
Increased risk of testicular cancer,
Pain and discomfort in the groin area.
Sterility.

Explain the Diagnostic evaluation of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (State the diagnostic evaluation of undescended testes/cryptorchidism.)

History taking and physical examination,
imaging studies,
ultrasonography,
Magnetic resonance imaging,
hormonal testing,
Laparoscopy.

Explain the medical management of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (Indicate medical management of undescended testes/cryptorchidism.)

Medical management of undescended testes/cryptorchidism usually depends on the age of the child, the condition of the testes, and its severity.

If the child is young and the testis descends into the scrotum on its own, observe the child properly.

Providing proper hormonal therapy to the child.

In which human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GTRH) help the child in normal testicular descent.

Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) Hormone A If Child A,
If less than 1 year, 250 units should be administered.
500 units should be administered if the child is 1 year to 5 years,
And if the child is older than 5 years then provide 1000 units.
It is usually provided twice a week for 5 to 6 weeks. Good response is seen within 1 month of providing this treatment.

Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) is also used as an alternative injection and nasal spray.

Hormonal therapy is usually provided in conditions where there is an abnormality in the descent of the bilateral testes.

Proper surgical management of undescended testis.

The surgery is usually performed after the child is one year old.

Orchidopexy

Orchidopexy is the most common surgical treatment used to treat undescended testes. During this procedure, the testes are brought into the scrotum and secured in place to prevent the testes from re-descending.
Orchidopexy is usually performed before 1 or 2 years of age to optimize outcome and reduce complications.

Laparoscopic surgery

When the position of the testes cannot be detected by physical examination and imaging studies, a laparoscopic procedure is performed to bring the testes into the scrotum.

Orchiectomy

In some cases, when the testes are severely abnormal and there are chances of malignancy, the testes are surgically removed (orchiectomy).

Silastic prosthesis

If the testes are absent, a silastic prosthesis is inserted between the ages of 8 and 10 to prevent emotional upset.

Explain the Nursing management of the undescended testes/ Cryptorchidism. (Inform nursing management of undescended testes/cryptorchidism.)
