The telecanthus-hypospadias (BBB) syndrome is characterised by widely spaced inner ocular canthi and hypospadias of variable degree. Heterozygous females have telecanthus. We have summarised the historical and phenotypic findings of 21 patients in seven previous publications. We have also had the opportunity to evaluate personally 12 families with a total of 18 affected males. The most frequent...

BACKGROUND In 2002, an increased risk of hypospadias was reported for sons of women exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero, suggesting transgenerational effects of DES. The aim of this study was to further assess the association between parental DES exposure and hypospadias in a case-referent study. METHODS Cases with hypospadias were retrieved from the hospital information system. Refe...

In this nationwide matched cohort study, we have investigated whether being born with hypospadias affect subsequent psychosocial outcomes in adulthood. We analyzed prospectively collected data from national Swedish registers. Data on the diagnoses were collected from the National Patient Register and the Medical Birth Register. Data on psychosocial outcomes such as educational and income level,...

Perineal myomas in female are exceptional. We report the second case in literature of perineal myomas. It is a case of bilateral perineal myomas lifting the skin occurring in a female patient of 49 years old. She was operated by perineal incisions. Histopathology confirmed the fibromatous nature without signs of malignancy.

PURPOSE Abdominoperineal resection (APR) of advanced lower rectal cancer carries a high incidence of perineal wound infection. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate risk factors for perineal wound infection after APR. METHODS The study group comprised 154 patients who underwent APR for advanced lower rectal cancer in our department from January 1990 through December 2012. The ...

A 16-year-old boy presented with gradually increasing painless swelling between the testes. He had undergone a 2-stage Denis-Browne repair of congenital proximal hypospadias, second stage performed at the age of 8 years. On examination, a hard lump was felt between the testes. Radiography of the pelvis showed a faint oval radiopaque shadow in the scrotal region. Cystoscopy revealed a small open...

PURPOSE Hypospadias repair is rarely performed in adults. It is believed that the success rate is lower in adulthood. We aimed to compare the success rate of primary hypospadias repair with tubularized-incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty in adults and children. PATIENTS AND METHODS The databases of consecutive boys and adults who were treated with TIP urethroplasty for primary hypospadias betwe...

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...

PURPOSE Hypospadias incidence rates have been widely reported to be increasing. During the last 20 years there has been a significant increase in the number of women who delay childbearing until their mid 30s. Therefore, it was of interest to determine if increasing maternal age is an independent risk factor for hypospadias. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from the New York State Department of Hea...

OBJECTIVE Systems for categorizing hypospadias are based on the location of the external meatus. The presented proposal draws on the organogenesis of the urethra and its position against the bone structure of the pelvis. The aim of the study was to examine the position of the corpus spongiosum division relative to pelvic bone structures as an indicator of the true level of hypospadias. PATIEN...
