Anterior urethral valves are rare congenital obstructions that can severely impact kidney function. Surgical intervention, often open surgery, is typically required for effective treatment and improved urinary flow.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Urinary Tract Obstruction

Context:

  • Anterior urethral valves are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They can lead to significant upper urinary system deterioration due to obstructive patterns.
  • These valves are typically located at the peno-scrotal junction or in the bulbous urethra.

Purpose:

  • To present the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of 12 pediatric cases with anterior urethral valves.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical management, including open surgery and endoscopic resection.
  • To analyze the impact of these valves on renal function and urinaryStream characteristics.

Summary:

  • Twelve patients (1 month to 7 years) with anterior urethral valves were treated.

  • Presentations included urethral swelling, urinary infections, and sepsis.
  • Open surgery was required in all cases, with endoscopic resection failing in one.
  • Outcomes were favorable in 9 cases regarding renal function; two required nephrectomy, and one received a renal transplant.
  • Postoperative urinaryStream was good in 10 cases.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the severity of anterior urethral valves and their potential for causing irreversible renal damage.
    • Emphasizes the necessity of surgical intervention for managing these obstructive anomalies.
    • Provides insights into surgical outcomes and the long-term implications for renal health in affected children.
