Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A total of 6 boys with the prune belly syndrome underwent total abdominal wall reconstruction by a technique that permits simultaneous bilateral orchiopexy and/or urinary tract reconstruction. Until now, the psychosocial implications of the abdominal wall disfigurement caused by this syndrome have been ignored. This procedure provides an excellent cosmetic result that, in turn, promotes psychological health and a positive body image in these children. |
