Transverse Testicular Ectopia: A Report of Five Cases and Review of Literature.

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an uncommon anatomical abnormality where both the gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. Embryologically, several theories regarding the origin of TTE have been suggested including adhesion and fusion of developing Wolffian canals, aberrant gubernaculum, testicular adhesions, defective formation of the internal inguinal ring, and traction on the testis by persistent Mullerian structures. To date, about 100 cases of TTE have been reported in the literature.

Comparison of antegrade percutaneous versus retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy for upper ureteric calculus for stone clearance, morbidity, and complications.

Introduction: The optimal management of upper ureteric calculus remains controversial. We compare the outcomes of antegrade percutaneous ureterolithotripsy (APCUL) with retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for upper ureteric calculus with respect to stone clearance, morbidity, and complication rates.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study was carried out from December 2014 to June 2016.

Penile Cutaneous Horn in a 22-month-old Child: A Rare Case Report.

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like hyperkeratotic lesion. Its presence over penis is unusual and rare. Herein, we report a case of horn of penis in a 22-month-old child.

Spectrum of urinary stone composition in Northwestern Rajasthan using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of urinary stones and pattern of changes according to the patient's age in Northwestern Rajasthan using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study of 1005 urolithiasis patients was carried out in two tertiary care centers from September 2012 to September 2016. Chemical composition of urinary stones was analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy, and a subgroup study based on the patient's age was done (8-12 years - Group A, 13-18 years - Group B, and >18 years - Group C).

Results of tubularized urethral plate urethroplasty in Megameatus Intact Prepuce.

Objective: The megameatus variant of anterior hypospadias with an intact complete foreskin occurs in approximately 1%-3% of hypospadias. Hence, the objective of the study was to evaluate the results of tubularized urethral plate urethroplasty (TUPU) in megameatus intact prepuce (MIP).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study (June 1996-June 2015) of MIP from our hypospadias registry was conducted.

The incidence of isolated penile torsion in North India: A study of 5,018 male neonates.

Objective: Congenital penile torsion is a three-dimensional deformity with helical rotation of the distal corporal bodies with the penile crurae remaining fixed to the pubic rami. The first case of congenital penile torsion (hypospadias) was described in 1857. Isolated penile torsion is an under-reported anomaly.

Double breasting spongioplasty in tubularized/tubularized incise plate urethroplasty: A new technique.

Introduction: The main disadvantage of currently described techniques of spongioplasty is superimposition of 3 suture lines (neourethra, spongioplasty, and skin closure) which is likely to increase the chances of a fistula. We describe and evaluate the results of a double breasting spongioplasty in urethroplasty.

Methods: A prospective study of 60 primary hypospadias was undertaken by double breasting spongioplasty from August 2012 to March 2014.
