BACKGROUND: Hypospadias is a common urethral anomaly in boys. More than 65% of hypospadias cases are anterior (glanular, coronal and distal penile shaft). More than 200 original techniques have been applied to correct hypospadias. Each of these techniques has some complications, the most common of which are fistula and meatal stenosis. METHODS: A total of 74 boys with anterior hypospadias underwent the procedure of urethral advancement and glanuloplasty (UAGP) with V flap of the glans in our medical centres between March 1994 and March 2000. The procedure included degloving, correction of chordee, urethral mobilization and glans plasty. RESULTS: Cosmetic results were excellent in most patients. There was no fistula, and meatal stenosis was also not observed after applying V flap of the glans. In a 1-6-year follow-up (mean +/- SD, 3.15 +/- 1.79 years), the results, functionally and cosmetically, were satisfactory in all cases, with no long-term complication or chordee. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that UAGP is an excellent technique for repairing anterior hypospadias with satisfactory results and low complication rate.

CONGENITAL POUCH COLON WITH IMPERFORATE ANUS; A REPORT OF 3 CASES

SADEGHIPOUR ROODSARY S.*,HIRADFAR M.,ZABOLINEJAT N.,ALAMDARAN S.A.

Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is an unusual condition in imperforate anus (IA), usually of high variety. This malformation is mostly reported from India, where it comprises about 7% of all anorectal malformations. In this anomaly, the normal colon is very short or absent and is replaced by a pouch like dilatation that usually communicates through a fistula with genitourinary tract or persistent cloaca. We are reporting on three cases of newborns (2 females, and 1 male) with this anomaly diagnosed during September 2001 to September 2004. These three cases comprise less than 3% of all cases of IA during this time period. The two girls had anorectal agenesia, short segment of colon and a pouch with vaginal fistula and persistent cloaca (Type II). Colon in the third case was replaced by a dilated pouch that communicated with a wide fistula to the bladder (Type I). This is very important for pediatric surgeons to be aware of the features of this condition to allow for proper diagnosis and surgical management.

International Conference on Childhood Cancer (ICCC-2006)
29-31 Oct. 2006
Tehran, Iran

Welcome Message
Childhood malignancies have emerged worldwide as a major health problem and rank after accidents as the second cause of mortality in developed countries. The less developed countries are facing similar problems in pace with improving social health services, increasing living standards and public awareness about childhood cancer ,its curability and expecte availability of newest diagnostic and treatment approaches. Since late
1960 we have been witnessing an enormous improvement in terms of
better understanding the natural history of childhood malignancies getting deeper insight into their genetic and molecular biology, their
epidemiology and impact of environmental factors on the diverse
features of the childhood cancers
The aim of the International Pediatric Oncology Conference in Iran is to build an international forum for researchers in all fields of pediatric oncology and pediatric oncologist to share and exchange their knowledge and experiences in daily practice. Of further importance of this conference will be to direct the attention of the health authorities toward childhood malignancies to make proper planning for training programs, building child friendly oncology departments allocating sufficient facilities and funds to give our patients the utmost benefits of new therapeutic modalities and control strategies. This conference will also address the needs of young physicians and nurses about the state- of -the art in pediatric oncology. In addition to the exciting scientific programs of the conference, a very rich Iranian cultural heritage is another unforgettable experience that the participants will enjoy.

 

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis Associated With Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Report
By A. Bazrafshan and K. Sayadpour Zanjani
Mashhad, Iran

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare disease of bone first described by Giedion et al in 1972. It is associated with several pathologic processes including psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, and SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis). The
only published association of CRMO and Crohn’s disease was reported by Bognar et al in 1998. The authors describe the association of CRMO and ulcerative colitis (UC) in a 12-year-old girl. As far as the authors know, this is the first published report of CRMO associated with UC and the second of CRMO associated with inflammatory bowel diseases. J Pediatr Surg 35:1520-1522.
