Labial Adhesion (labial + adhesion)
Selected AbstractsMicturitional disturbance due to labial adhesion as a cause of vaginal implantation of bladder urothelial carcinomaINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, Issue 11 2006SATOSHI OGISO Abstract, Vaginal implantation of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is a rare finding, with few cases reported in the literature. This is the first reported case of vaginal implantation of bladder urothelial carcinoma thought to be due to micturitional disturbances secondary to labial adhesion. The authors propose that implantation via pooled urine in the vagina may have occurred, and suggest that labial adhesion be treated in patients with urinary tract urothelial carcinoma, even if asymptomatic. [source] Manual separation followed by local cleanliness for pediatric labial adhesionJOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY RESEARCH (ELECTRONIC), Issue 3 2010Takashi Watanabe Abstract Aim:, Although labial adhesion is usually a benign disorder in childhood, it may occasionally be misdiagnosed as a severe disorder, causing parental anxiety. The present study was undertaken to analyze the clinical features, treatments employed and their effectiveness in pediatric patients with labial adhesion, with special emphasis on manual separation. Methods:, We reviewed the medical charts of pediatric patients with labial adhesion who were treated in our Pediatric Gynecology Division of the university hospital over 3.5 years. Results:, Eight pediatric patients received manual separation followed by local gentamicin ointment and washing. In all eight, manual separation remedied the condition at one visit without recurrence. Conclusion:, Manual separation followed by local cleanliness not only remedied pediatric labial adhesion but also prevented its recurrence. Thus, it is an effective treatment for pediatric labial adhesion.

Method: Retrospective study of 87 girls aged 13-years and younger, with lower genital tract lesions managed between February 2002 and January 2007 at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, southeastern Nigeria. Clinical charts were reviewed to determine the types, management, outcome of treatment and management difficulties. Results: The median age at presentation was 1 year (range 2 days,13 years). Congenital lesions comprised 67.8% and acquired lesions 32.2%. The lesions included: masculinised external genitalia (24), vestibular fistula from anorectal malformation (23), post-circumcision labial fusion (12), post-circumcision vulval cyst (6), low vaginal malformations (6), labial adhesion (5), cloacal malformation (3), bifid clitoris (3) urethral prolapse (3), and acquired rectovaginal fistula (2). Seventy-eight (89.7%) had operative treatment. Procedure related complications occurred in 19 cases (24.4%) and consisted of surgical wound infection (13 cases), labial adhesion (4 cases) and urinary retention (2 cases). There was no mortality. Overall, 14 (16.1%) abandoned treatment at one stage or another. Challenges encountered in management were inadequate diagnostic facilities, poor multidisciplinary collaboration and poor patient follow up. Conclusion: There is a wide spectrum of lower genital lesion among girls in our setting. Treatment of these lesions may be challenging, but the outcome in most cases is good. High incidence of post-circumcision complications and poor treatment compliance may require more efforts at public enlightenment. [source] | ||||||||||
