RESUMO Introdução: Pênis embutido é uma patologia rara relacionada à redução do comprimento peniano. É descrita com maior incidência em crianças, porém acomete também adultos. Nesta população está associado principalmente a obesidade e acúmulo de gordura em região suprapúbica, sendo considerada uma afecção de difícil manejo e tratamento. A intervenção cirúrgica é a base do tratamento e o objetivo principal é o retorno da função urinária e sexual. Múltiplas técnicas cirúrgicas são descritas para reconstrução em pacientes com pênis embutido e devem ser adaptadas para as características apresentadas pelo paciente. Relato de Caso: Nesse artigo é relatada a abordagem de um paciente com pênis embutido, utilizando-se da técnica cirúrgica de lipoaspiração superficial e dermolipectomia associada à fixação da base do pênis em sínfise púbica com o uso de enxerto de pele parcial. Conclusão: A técnica apresentada demonstrou bons resultados funcionais pós-operatórios, devido apresentar melhora clínica das queixas iniciais do paciente, e estéticos, verbalizados pelo paciente e pela responsável legal em virtude do baixo nível cognitivo do paciente.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Buried penis is a rare pathology related to the reduction of penile length. It is described with a higher incidence in children, but it also affects adults. This population is mainly associated with obesity and fat accumulation in the suprapubic region, being considered a pathology that is difficult to manage and treat. Surgical intervention is the basis of treatment, and the main objective is the return of urinary and sexual function. Multiple surgical techniques are described for reconstruction in patients with buried penis and must be adapted to the characteristics presented by the patient. Case Report: This article reports the surgical technique of dermolipectomy associated with the fixation of the base of the penis in pubic symphysis and a partial skin graft to approach a patient with a buried penis. Conclusion: The presented technique showed good functional postoperative results due to clinical improvement of the patients’ initial complaints and aesthetic ones, verbalized by the patient and the legal guardian due to the patient’s low cognitive level.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate cardiac function and structural changes in children of diabetic mothers in the fetal and neonatal period using Doppler-echocardiographic data. Method: A prospective, descriptive observational study conducted in a private and tertiary care service for high-risk pregnant women. It included 48 children of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) considered clinically compensated during pregnancy, with a single fetus and absence of malformations. Myocardial thickness, shortening fraction, left ventricular (LVMPI) and right ventricular (RVMPI) myocardial performance index, and mitral and tricuspid valve E/A ratio were evaluated in 96 echocardiographic exams with Doppler. Results: The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was 29% vs 6% p = 0.006 in the prenatal and postnatal periods respectively. The shortening fraction was 0% vs 6% p = 0.242 in the fetuses and newborns respectively. The myocardial performance index of the right ventricle was 12% vs 54% p ≤ 0.001, and on the left ventricle 27% vs 60% p = 0.001 in the prenatal and postnatal periods respectively. The ratio of mitral valve E/A waves was 6% vs 50% p ≤ 0.001 and the ratio of tricuspid valve E/A waves was 0% vs 27% p 0.001 in the fetuses and newborns respectively. Conclusion: A decrease in the rate of myocardial hypertrophy and changes in cardiac function parameters were observed in the fetal and neonatal periods.
