Perineal urethrostomy (PU) has been performed with success for the treatment of refractory and advanced urethral stricture disease for at least the past six decades. Here, we review the indications and outcomes of PU for indications such as complex hypospadias repair and urethral stricture disease resulting from trauma, infection, and failure of prior urethroplasty. We also describe the role of...

Three cases of Down syndrome (DS) are reported in association with features of the androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). All were 47, XY, +21 and reared as females. One case had a normal female phenotype, and two cases showed minimal clitoromegaly and labial fusion. Minor genital underdevelopment has been reported as common in males with DS; however, AIS has not previously been associated with...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for urethrocutaneous fistula development after hypospadias repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1990 and May 2010, 348 patients underwent hypospadias repair. This study included 294 patients who were followed up for more than 6 months. Potential risk factors for the development of fistula after operation included a...

background : many women suffer from perineal trauma during the normal vaginal delivery. perineal trauma is mainly associated with pain and complications after the childbirth. perineal management techniques can play a significant role in perineal trauma reduction. this study aimed to compare the effects of perineal management techniques (hands-off technique, ritgen maneuver and perineal massage ...

Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects. However, its etiology remains largely unknown. The authors investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to familial aggregation of hypospadias. Using Danish health registers, they identified 5,380 boys diagnosed with hypospadias in a cohort of 1,201,790 boys born in 1973–2005. Using binomial log-linear regression, they e...

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was performed to repair 20 distal and 5 mid-penile hypospadias cases. In distal hypospadias repair meatal stenosis occurred in 1 patient and urethral fistula in another. The overall complication rate in this group was thus 10%. Among midpenile hypospadias cases meatal stenosis was observed in 1 (20%) patient. As a conclusion, tubularized incised plate ure...

PURPOSE The Danish National Health registers provide a valuable data source that offers unique opportunities for observational research, including studies on the congenital anomaly hypospadias. The accuracy of the diagnosis and surgical treatment registration of hypospadias in the Danish National Patient Register (DNPR) remains unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We randomly sampled 500 patients di...

Hypospadias is a very common congenital anomaly in which the urethra opens onto ventral aspect of penis rather than at tip. It has an incidence less 1% live male births. In humans, anogenital distance (AGD) sexually dimorphic measure genital development. this study, we intended to examine association between AGD and hypospadias using homogenous group patients. The same investigator examined all...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and risk factors of hypospadias in newborn infants of a private hospital in Mashhad city located in northeast Iran. METHODS All live birth deliveries in maternity hospital were enrolled from Oct 2006 to Sep 2008. All hypospadias cases were compared with the next male live births for possible risk factors. This study included only sol...
