Correlation between histopathology properties of dartos tissue and the severity of penile curvature in hypospadias.

Purpose: Hypospadias, one of the congenital anomalies commonly associated with some degrees of ventral penile curvature that may arise from malformation of dartos fascia, the chordee. Our study aims to determine the correlation between the histopathology properties of dartos fascia and the severity of ventral penile curvature in hypospadias.

Materials And Methods: One hundred hypospadias patients with various degrees of ventral penile curvature were included in this cross-sectional analytical study from 2020 to 2022.

The prophylactic omentectomy procedure in reducing the complication rate of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in pediatric: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The role of the omentectomy procedure on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) catheter placement in pediatric patients has been differently evaluated in the literature, with some studies showing improvement while others showing no difference. Our study aims to define the advantages of omentectomy compared to a procedure without omentectomy.

Methods: The literature searching in online databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, and ClinicalTrial.
