Histopathological Comparison and Expression Analysis of COL1A1, COL3A1, and ELN in the Proximal and Distal Ventral Dartos of Patients With Hypospadias: Protocol for Prospective Case-Control Study.

Background: The exact cause of penile curvature in hypospadias remains unknown. Resection of the dartos fascia has been observed to straighten the penis, indicating the involvement of the dartos fascia in the superficial chordee. However, the characteristics of dartos tissue in the distal territory of the ventral penile shaft may differ from those in the proximal aspect of the penile shaft.

Self-reported outcomes in adults with hypospadias: A meta-analysis of patient satisfaction and quality-of-life metrics.

Introduction: Hypospadias reconstruction seeks to correct structural problems associated with this congenital condition to improve patient quality-of-life (QoL) and overall well-being. While corrective surgery can lead to major functional and psychosocial improvements, some patients experience continuing problems that require additional procedures. This study evaluates patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in hypospadias care, particularly penile satisfaction and QoL after surgery, to fill this essential gap in the literature.

Complications due to residual ureteral stump after upper pole heminephrectomy: A case report.

Ureteral remnant may be ligated or left in situ to avoid the risk of injury to the healthy ipsilateral ureter; however, distal redundant ureter may sometimes cause long-term complications and require further reoperation. Upper pole heminephrectomy is a surgical procedure often performed to address various renal pathologies, such as duplex kidney or non-functioning upper renal moieties.
