08.35 - 08.50 Update The management and long-term outcomes of vesicoureteral reflux
G. Lackgren, Uppsala (SE)
Aims and objectives
The introduction of endoscopic treatment with bulking agents and particularly the introduction of Deflux (a
non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid/dextranomer gel) has changed the treatment strategy of vesicoureteral
reflux (VUR) in children. This treatment offers the chance of curing children with even high grade reflux
(IV-V), and eliminating the need for long-term medication or repeat VCUGs. More importantly it reduces
the number of children requiring open surgery. In our long-term follow-up (mean 16 years) study we have
found that only 25% of the children with primary grade IV-V reflux have been submitted to open surgery
(reimplantation) and that there are few adverse events in the long term after treatment. Results from the
ongoing clinical study will be presented.
08.50 - 09.05 Update The long-term outcomes of genital surgery in boys
A.R. Mundy, London (GB)
Aims and objectives
Other than circumcision and orchidopexy the commonest genital surgery in boys is hypospadias. This
presentation will concentrate on hypospadias with some mention of extrophy/epispadias and circumcision.
The long term outcome of hypospadias surgery in boys is not as good as is presented in the literature.
I shall propose for discussion that excepting serious deformities genital surgery should be postponed until
the boy himself can take part in his counselling process.
09.05 - 09.40 Debate Pelvic floor implants: Artificial mesh or autologous fascia?
Moderator: F.R. Cruz, Porto (PT)
Panel: Gynaecologist U. Peschers, Munich (DE)
Urologist F. Haab, Paris (FR)
Aims and objectives
This session will discuss the long term data of artificial mesh implantation for correction of SUI of pelvic
organ prolapse. Many patients are now expected to carry artificial meshes for several decades. The long-term
results of SUI of pelvic organ prolapse with artificial mesh will be discussed. The potential consequences of
a long-term exposure to foreign material during ageing will also be addressed.
09.40 - 09.55 State-of-the-art lecture Incontinence and age
