Purpose: To compare the physician and parental satisfactions between the two types of circumcision maneuvers used in our units, Gomco and Plastibell circumcision.
Methodology: This study was performed from 2019 to 2021. A total of 190 children were circumcised either by Gomco or Plastibell procedure.
Separation of the glanular part of the urethral plate, mobilization of the distal part of the neourethra, and creation of the glanular groove: a new modification of second-stage Thiersch-Duplay urethroplasty in proximal hypospadias repair.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of separation of the glanular part of the urethral plate from the underlying glans penis with creation of a glanular groove for free accommodation of the neourethra as a new modification of Thiersch-Duplay urethroplasty in proximal hypospadias repair.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2016 and January 2022, 35 patients with proximal hypospadias underwent a modified Thiersch-Duplay two-stage procedure. The glanular portion of the urethral plate was either separated from the underlying glanular tissue or discarded if found scared with mobilization of the distal portion of the neourethra to reach the tip of the glans penis.
Introduction: Simulations are useful and can mirror the situations needed for skills development. They can have significant impacts on patient safety and help physicians gain proficiency in complex procedures with a short learning curve. They have been validated as an assessment tool and can utilize innovative machines or platforms.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Simulations have revolutionized surgical training and are an invaluable adjunct tool for augmenting the proficiency of surgeon and patient safety. Before being included in a practical assessment process, simulators need to be using various validity inference frameworks.
Objective: We examine the construct validity and reliability of the Rezum simulator.
Article Synopsis
- *Methods*: A retrospective comparison was made between OPD visits and endourology procedures from early 2019 and early 2020, specifically looking at the changes during April 2020 due to the pandemic's restrictions.
- *Results*: There was a significant drop in OPD visits and elective procedures during the pandemic, with teleclinics making up most of the consultations. Overall, urology services saw over a 75% reduction, prompting hospitals to adapt by increasing telehealth and day surgery options.
