Parental regret following decision for sons to undergo elective post-neonatal circumcision.

Introduction: The reasons for performing a circumcision among males after the neonatal period are usually cultural or medical. We aimed to evaluate parental regret for providing consent and to identify factors associated with such regret.

Methods: Included were the parents of males aged 6 months to 18 years who underwent circumcision under general anesthesia at a single center between 2/2017 and 01/2023.

Increased prevalence of non-E. coli bacteria-caused urinary infection in neonates delivered by cesarian section.

Objectives: to assess the association between delivery mode and causative pathogens of infants with urinary tract infections.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the medical records of neonates delivered in a tertiary academic pediatric hospital and diagnosed with urinary tract infections between January 1,2013 and December 31,2017. Excluded were newborns with urinary tract infections post-urological procedures or neurogenic bladders.

Megameatus intact prepuce variant reconstruction: Long-term outcomes and comparison to post-circumcision hypospadias repair.

Background: Megameatus intact prepuce (MIP) variant is considered a surgical challenge with associated high complication rates. It is usually diagnosed and corrected only after neonatal circumcision, which is discouraged in non-MIP hypospadias.

Objective: In order to determine whether the features of the MIP variant or the performance of a secondary reconstruction following circumcision comprise the cause of higher complication rates, we now compared the results of post-circumcision MIP hypospadias repair to the results of children who underwent repair of non-MIP hypospadias following neonatal circumcision.

Complete Blood Count Markers and C-Reactive Protein as Predictors of Testicular Viability in the Event of Testicular Torsion in Adults.

Introduction: The association between blood markers and testicular viability after testicular torsion (TT) is not well known. We evaluated the role of complete blood count markers and C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting testicular viability after TT.

Methods: Fifty men, ≥18 years of age, operated for TT between the years 2015-2020 were enrolled.

Exstrophy-epispadias complex: are the kidneys and kidney function spared?

Background: Exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) is a complex malformation of the lower abdominal wall, bladder, and pelvic floor, which necessitates multiple successive reconstruction procedures. Surgical and infectious complications are frequent. Our aim was to evaluate kidney function in these patients.
