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...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of the Z-meatoplasty technique for enlargement of the external auditory meatus of children undergoing modified radical mastoidectomy. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Pediatric otolaryngology practice in an academic setting. PATIENTS Consecutive sample of children (< or =18 years old) who had undergone modified radical mastoidectomy performed by the aut...

OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of the Mathieu incised-plate (Mathieu-IP) technique vs the standard tubularised incised-plate (TIP) technique for primary management of distal hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2012 and August 2015, 66 patients (aged 15-60 months) with primary distal hypospadias were randomly allocated to two groups. Group 1 included 34 patients who underwent Mathie...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of Mathieu and Snodgrass techniques in the repair of anterior distal shaft hypospadias. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2001 to 2003, 33 patients with the mean age of 7.06 +/- 3.44 (range 2 to 12) years suffering from anterior distal shaft hypospadias, were assessed. Inclusion criteria were anterior distal shaft hypospadias, and exclusion criteria were association w...

Introduction. Several surgical approaches are currently in use for distal hypospadias. Herein, we present our technique of meatal mobilization (MEMO) and provide both early and long-term outcome data. patients and methods. We investigated 145 patients who underwent repair of distal hypospadias using the MEMO technique. Forty-six patients are short-term (Group A) with a mean follow-up of 28.5 mo...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of a single vs. a double-layer dartos interposition for preventing a fistula after tubularised incised-plate (TIP) distal hypospadias repair. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with primary distal hypospadias who had the hypospadias repaired between February 2009 and June 2011, operated by one surgeon (S.A.K.). In all of t...
