OBJECTIVE: Study the incidence of Genitourinary malformations combined with microtia, find the regularity of the disease, and analyze the correlation between them.
METHODS: There is a total of 3143 microtia patients from January 2015 to December 2019 in Plastic Surgery Hospital. We examined their renal ultrasound, counted cases with genitourinary system deformities, and calculated the incidence of the disease.
RESULTS: Among 3143 patients with congenital microtia, there were 163 patients with congenital genitourinary system malformations, accounting for 5.2%. The side of congenital microtia is associated with the side of congenital Genitourinary malformations.
CONCLUSIONS: Genitourinary malformations occur more frequently in patients with microtia than in the general population. The 2 malformations are more likely to be ipsilateral. We believe it is necessary to complete the systemic physical and renal ultrasound examination for patients with microtia.
