PURPOSE To report functional urethral obstruction (FUO) following the tubularised incised plate (TIP) procedure for hypospadias repair and its management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2010, 263 patients were referred with complications following TIP repair and who were reviewed on regular follow up after further correction. One hundred and twenty-nine of these patie...

In cases of repair of urethrocutaneous fistulae developing after primary hypospadias surgery, tubularisation often becomes difficult after excision of scar tissue. It is also well-known that this type of fistulae has a high recurrence rate. In this study of 15 cases, the aim is to analyze the results of conventional urethrocutaneous fistula repair, augmented with the principle of Midline longit...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the surgical outcome of tubularised incised plate urethroplasty and onlay island flap repair for mid and proximal penile hypospadias. METHODS The prospective study was conducted at the Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from June 2011 to May 2013. A total of 60 patients with mid and proximal penile hypospadias in the age range of 02 to 06 years were included. Patient...

The last decade has witnessed an alarming increase in the worldwide incidence of hypospadias. For non-hypospadiologists, the surgical correction of hypospadias will be increasingly demanding. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment strategy devised by a single-surgeon practice in Malaysia to tackle this anticipated surge of caseload. Over a period exceeding eight years, 254...

the effect of steel plate thickness on the repair effectiveness of rc beam is presented in this paper. a total of four beams were tested, one beam repaired by cfrp with a thickness of 1.2 mm and used as a control beam, and three beams repaired by a steel plate. steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm were used in repairing the beams. the maximum load-carrying capacity, deflection ...
