Complications in hypospadias surgery are not uncommon however penile skin or flap necrosis is rarely reported. Ischemia of the flap or graft is a major complication in two stage repair of hypospadias. A 2-year old boy with proximal penile hypospadias, operated earlier for chordee correction and urethral plate formation with a preputial flap, presented for stage 2 repair. Ten days after surgery ...

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...

Detection of chlamydial infections depends on the sensitivity of the techniques used. Variables include the number of body sites sampled, the number of samples obtained, and the number of passages in tissue culture. To assess these factors, microdilution plate cultures with a single blind passage were performed on specimens from 10,291 men and women attending a sexually transmitted disease clin...

INTRODUCTION Acquired megalourethra (AMU) after repair of proximal hypospadias can be a serious complication. An observational retrospective study of its incidence among different types of repair was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical charts of patients operated on for proximal hypospadias were reviewed. INCLUSION CRITERIA all primary hypospadias operated in 1991-2004, with the meatu...

External genitalia are anatomical structures located at the posterior embryonic region as part of several urogenital/reproductive organs. The embryonic anlage of the external genitalia, the genital tubercle (GT) develops as a bud-shaped structure with an initial urethral plate and later urethra. Embryonic external genitalia are considered to be one of the appendages. Recent experiments suggest ...

Background: In hypospadias urethral meatus opens onto the ventral surface of penis proximal to tip glans and its surgery is challenging. Recent focus on reduction postoperative complications objective assessment penile anthropometry which can affect outcome. Aim study was assess surgical outcome tubularised incised plate urethroplasty biometric parameters among children with coronal, distal mid...
