OBJECTIVE To compare the results of Snodgrass repair with single versus double vascularized dartos pedicle flap for neouretheral coverage. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-eight pediatric patients with mean age 41.5 ± 21 months (range 9-96 months) underwent primary hypospadias repair, 39 uncircumcised and 19 circumcised, classified into 2 groups according to coverage of the neourethra. Single layer...

Introduction Dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty (DIGU) has been described as an effective method for hypospadias repair with the proposed advantage of reducing risk complications. We aimed to systematically assess whether DIGU any additional advantages over standard tubularized incised plate (TIPU) in children primary hypospadias. Materials and methods This systematic review was performed accordi...

Introduction: Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation in boys. One of the common surgical techniques for correction of hypospadias is (Tubularized Incised Plate urethraplasty=TIP). Meatal stenosis and fistula formation are known post-operative complications. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of early urethral dilatation in prevention of post operative complications. Me...

Middle meatal adhesions are considered the most common complication of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), ranging in incidence from 1 to 36%. Consequently the recurrence and persistence of symptoms increase, resulting in revision surgery in up to 25% of the cases. Although different methods have been attempted to prevent adhesions, each procedure involves some disadvantages and no stan...

MATERIALS AND METHODS All participants undergoing prostate cancer screening in the city of Curitiba were systematically examined to identify penile lesions including cutaneous mycosis, sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer, meatal stenosis, hypospadias, and Peyronie's disease...

OBJECTIVES To compare the outcome of hypospadias repair using tubularised incised-plate (TIP) urethroplasty and tubularisation of an intact and laterally augmented urethral plate. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective randomised study included 370 patients with primary distal hypospadias. All had urethral plate widths of 8-10 mm and a glans of ⩾15 mm. Exclusion criteria were previous repair, ...

PURPOSE This meta-analysis was conducted to compare postoperative outcomes between transverse island flap (TVIF) onlay and tubularized incised-plate (TIP) urethroplasties for primary proximal hypospadias. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search updated to 21st May 2014 was carried out for relevant studies. After literature identification and data extraction, odds ratio (OR) wi...

The differentiation of epidermis in the various parts of the human ear canal was documented on the basis of cytokeratin (Ck) expression patterns. Immunohistochemistry was performed on cryostat sections of normal meatal skin using a comprehensive panel of monospecific Ck antibodies representing the main lines of epithelial differentiation. The epidermis of the cartilaginous part showed a Ck prof...
