Aim: This study aims to investigate the psychoaffective impact of sexual development disorders caused by congenital adrenal hyperplasia in children with 46, XX karyotype, in order to determine the predictive factors for the onset of anxiety and depression among parents and the coping strategies employed by parents to adapt to their child's condition.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study involving parents of children treated for sexual development disorders related to congenital adrenal hyperplasia, with a 46, XX karyotype, who underwent feminizing genitoplasty during the period from January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2021.

Can the inferior mesenteric artery cause ureteropelvic junction obstruction?

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a pathological condition characterized by obstruction of the junction between the renal pelvis and ureter, often resulting in dilatation of the renal collecting system. Aberrant accessory vessels or early branching of the inferior pole vessels are the most common causes of extrinsic UPJO. The inferior mesenteric artery has not been reported as a common cause of UPJO.

Predictive Factors of Pulmonary Hydatid Complications in Children.

Background: Pulmonary echinococcosis in children has frequent and severe complications. The aim of our study was to determine predictive factors of pre and postoperative complications of pediatric pulmonary hydatid cyst.

The effectiveness of double dorsal dartos flap for urethroplasty coverage in distal hypospadias repair: A single surgeon approach to preventing urethrocutaneous fistula.

Purpose: The concept of interposing double dorsal preputial flaps to cover the urethroplasty was introduced in 2005 to reduce the risk of urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis study of boys with primary distal hypospadias who underwent surgery by the same experienced surgeon, at our department between 2010 and 2021.
