Frequência de anomalias urogenital na genitália externa, em recémnascidos masculinos

Abstract

Introduction: external urogenital anomaly is characterized by a change in the morphological structure of the body, due to malformation during embryogenesis. Objective: To study the frequency of external urogenital abnormalities of newborn males. Materials and Methods: A sample of n = 4,939 newborns represented in compulsory search (n = 4,543) and active surveillance (n = 396), in search conducted from April to November 2013 (compulsory search) and June and July 2014 (active search). Results: We identified themselves external urogenital anomalies in the newborn in compulsory search (n = 3) and active searching (n = 25). The results observed in compulsory search (n = 3) were distributed: one and two cryptorchism hypospadias in the active search (n = 25) were divided into fourteen hydrocele, hypospadias six-six cryptorchism. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in the frequency of active surveillance compared compulsory search (Chi-square, p <0.001). Conclusion: The study shows that the frequency of urogenital anomalies is significantly higher in active search compared to compulsory search in newborn males.
