“…When reading this article, many will remember the previous anti-incontinence device termed genitourinary spheroidal membranes which were placed approximately 20 years ago (1). The advantage of this contemporary device is the potential for less migration and the ability to postoperatively titrate.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of biofeedback therapy on the residual urine volume in children with dysfunctional voiding. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in children with dysfunctional voiding associated with abnormal postvoid residual urine (PVR) from June 2002 to 2007. The children were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group 1 was treated with standard urotherapy combined with biofeedback therapy and group 2 was treated with only standard urotherapy. The outcomes of uroflow-electromyography pattern, urinary tract infection (UTI), and PVR were recorded before and at the end of sixth month of treatment. Results: A total of 94 patients were enrolled in this study. Groups 1 and 2 consisted of 62 and 32 patients, respectively. The voiding pattern became normal in 80.6% (50/62) and 56.2% (18/32) of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The PVR resolved in 40 of 62 (64.5%) patients in group 1 and in 11 of 32 (34.4%) children in group 2. Before the treatment, UTI was noted in 22.5% of patients (14/62) in group 1 and 21.8% of patients (7/32) in group 2. After the treatment, UTI was observed in 3.2% of patients (2/62) and in 9.3% (3/32) of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Although both treatment modalities changed the voiding pattern, rate of febrile UTI, and PVR positively, these outcomes were better in a combination group. Conclusions: The combination of standard urotherapy with the biofeedback therapy improved the results significantly.

“…An interesting technology, which is not overly dissimilar to the genitourinary spheroidal membrane, which had its greatest degree of clinical exposure in the mid-1990s (1). Problems with the genitourinary spheroidal membrane at that time included the lack of ability for secondary and tertiary adjustments as well as the tendency of the device to float into non-therapeutic positions in the retropubic space.…”

Purpose: We reviewed the records of 36 pediatric patients operated on between 1990 and 1997 for high intraabdominal testes, using the 2-step Fowler-Stephens procedure via laparoscopy. Materials and Methods: Patients were followed for 10 to 17 years. Three patients who had undergone the second stage by open procedure were excluded from study. The 33 remaining patients were contacted by telephone, and 12 (7 with right and 5 with left intra-abdominal testes) agreed to undergo clinical and instrumental examination. Patient age ranged from 13 to 26 years (average 14.7). All patients underwent clinical examination and volumetric measurement of both testes using color Doppler ultrasound. Results: Two of the 12 patients (16.7%) had an atrophic testis in the scrotum and 10 (83.3%) had a viable testis in the scrotum. The operated testis was always smaller than the normal testis, despite the good vascularization
