Phimosis
Phimosis(/fmoss/or/famoss/),
from theGreekphimos(["muzzle"]),
is a condition in males
foreskincannot be fully retracted over the
glans penis.
The term may also refer toclitoral
phimosisin women, whereby theclitoral
hoodcannot be retracted, limiting
exposure of theglans clitoridis.
Embryology
At birth, the inner layer of the
foreskinis sealed to theglans penis.
This attachment forms "early in fetal
development and provide[s] a
protective cocoon for the delicate
developing glans.
The foreskin is usually nonretractable in infancy and early
childhood.
treatment
Treatment
Nonsurgical
Topicalsteroidcreams such asbetamethasone,
mometasone cortisone
Stretching of the foreskin can be accomplished
manually, with balloons[27]or with other tools.
Thetissue expansionpromotes the growth of
new skin cells to permanently expand the
narrowpreputial ringthat prevents retraction.
Beaug treatment - several hundred adolescents
with unusual masturbation advised them to
masturbate in the normal way
Surgical methods
Circumcisionis sometimes performed for
pathological phimosis, and is effective.
Dorsal slit(superincision) is a single
incision along the upper length of the
foreskin from the tip to the corona,
exposing the glans without removing any
tissue.
Ventral slit (subter incision)
Preputioplasty, in which a limited dorsal slit
done
complications
The most acute complication is
paraphimosis. In this condition, the glans
is swollen and painful, and the foreskin is
urinary retention
carcinoma of the penis.
Hydrocele
Ahydrocele(Br English:hydrocoele)
denotes apathologicalaccumulation
ofserous fluidin abody cavity.
Embryology
theprocessus vaginalis. Normally, the
communication between the processus
vaginalis and the peritoneum is obliterated,
and the
tunica vaginalisis the tissue that remains
overlying the testis and theepididymis.
Congenital hydrocele results when the
processus vaginalis remains patent,
allowing fluid from the peritoneum to
accumulate in the scrotum.
Diagnosis
problems
A hydrocele testis is not
generally thought to affect
fertility
Cosmesis
Mechanical problems in
micturition and intercourse
Infection(pyocele)
Trauma(Haematocele)
Treatment
If the hydrocele is not surgically
removed, it may continue to grow
aspiration, is less invasive but
recurrence rates are high.
Sclerotherapy, the injection of a
solution following aspiration done
repeatedly as the hydrocele recurs.
Fertility
Treatment
hydrocelectomy.
There are two surgical techniques available for
hydrocelectomy.
Hydrocelectomy with Excision of the
Hydrocele Sac:I
Incision of the hydrocele sac after complete
mobilization of the hydrocele.
edges are sewn together behind the spermatic
cord(Winkelmann's or Jaboulay's technique)
excision of the hydrocele sas is useful for large or
thick-walled hydroceles and multilocular hydroceles.
