long term follow up of total abdominal wall reconstruction for Prune Belly Syndrome
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Malcolm A Lesavoy, Eric I Chang, Ahmed Suliman, James W Taylor, Sara E Kim, Richard M EhrlichAbstract:Background Prune Belly Syndrome is a rare, congenital condition that consists of a major deficiency or hypoplasia of the abdominal wall musculature, bilateral cryptorchidism, and genitourinary tract malformations. Reconstruction of the abdominal wall in these patients has presented a challenge to plastic surgeons throughout the years. Methods The authors previously described a technique for total abdominal wall reconstruction that permitted simultaneous urinary tract reconstruction and bilateral orchiopexy. This innovative procedure used medial advancement of the fascia in a "double-breasted" fashion with preservation of the umbilicus. The authors reviewed their experience with this particular technique in one of the largest series of patients in the literature and the series with the longest follow-up. Results Twenty patients underwent total abdominal wall reconstruction with simultaneous urinary tract reconstruction and orchiopexy with a mean follow-up of 20.4 years. There were no major complications noted during this period, and all patients were extremely satisfied with their postoperative result. Conclusion Total abdominal wall reconstruction using the double-breasted technique in patients with Prune Belly Syndrome is a safe and durable procedure that achieves excellent cosmetic results. Clinical question/level of evidence Therapeutic, IV.

patterns of inheritance in familial Prune Belly Syndrome
Urology, 2005Co-Authors: Ranjith Ramasamy, Martha B Haviland, John R Woodard, Joseph G BaroneAbstract:We present a case of familial Prune Belly Syndrome and review potential modes of inheritance for the Syndrome. A total of 11 cases of familial Prune Belly Syndrome have been reported. These cases were reviewed and possible modes of inheritance were determined for each case. Our review strongly suggests a sex-influenced autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
