Presentation Transcript

  1. Meatoplasty surgery:- Symptoms, causes and treatment.

  2. Introduction:- • Meatoplasty is a surgery in which the end of a child's penis is surgically opened and the edges are stitched together. This procedure is done when the opening at the end of the boy's penis is too small or the shape of the hole distorts the urinary stream, making it difficult for him to urinate (pee).

  3. Symptoms:- • Symptoms of meatal stenosis include: • Trouble aiming the urine stream. • Very thin, upward- or sideways-pointing urine stream. • Spraying urine stream. • Pain upon urinating.

  4. Need to urinate often. • A feeling the bladder has not completely emptied. • Because meatal stenosis is most often diagnosed after potty training, it’s usually the parents who notice such symptoms. If you notice any of these symptoms in your son, you should seek medical advice. If it’s not treated, meatal stenosis may lead to urinary tract infections and kidney problems.

  5. Causes:- • Meatal stenosis happens when the opening at the end of the penis narrows. This condition is almost always seen in males who have been circumcised. Circumcision is a procedure where the foreskin over the head of the penis is removed. It’s rare for uncircumcised males to have meatal stenosis. This could mean that circumcision is a possible reason the meatus became narrower. Other causes of meatal stenosis can include:

  6. Inflammation (swelling) or injury that results from a baby’s penis rubbing against a diaper or the baby’s own skin after circumcision. • A diaper containing the buildup of crystals of uric acid and ammonia, which are found in urine. • Long-term use of urinary catheters (tubes used to drain urine). • Procedures or surgeries involving insertion of instruments into the urethra.

  7. Treatment:- • Diagnosis of meatal stenosis typically starts with your healthcare provider doing a physical exam and measuring the width of the meatus . A small, narrow meatus means that the passage is partly blocked. • However, there are natural differences in meatal widths in different males. This means that you could naturally have a narrow meatus without having meatal stenosis.

  8. There are also other factors that your healthcare provider will consider during the diagnosis process. Your overall health — not just the appearance of the meatus — is the key to deciding whether stenosis is present or not. Observation during urination can determine whether your urine stream is straight or not. Also, your healthcare provider can take measurements of the rate of flow that can help make the right diagnosis. An uncontrolled path of a urine stream and spraying of the urinary stream could mean that a correction of the meatal stenosis is needed.
