Comparative study between retrograde intrarenal surgery and ultrasound- guided shock wave lithotripsy for treatment of 1 to 2 cm radiolucent lower calyceal stones.

Objectives: The objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and ultrasound-guided (US-guided) shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for the treatment of radiolucent lower pole calculi of 1-2 cm.

Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized study was performed at our tertiary care urology institute of Benha University Hospitals; cases were randomized either to undergo RIRS (Group A) or US-guided SWL with a triple focus system (Group B). The safety and effectiveness of both therapies were compared using new criteria for stone-free rate (SFR): Grade A (absolutely stone free), Grade B (≤2 mm fragments), and Grade C (>2 mm up to 4 mm fragments), fluoroscopy time, operative time, auxiliary procedures, retreatment, and complications.

Dorsal inlay inner preputial graft repair versus ventral-only preputial graft repair in primary distal penile hypospadias with narrow urethral plate.

Background: Tubularized incised plate (TIP) is the most common technique used for distal hypospadias repair with good outcome but with a high rate of urethral stricture. Inner preputial-free graft can be used as an inlay graft in the incised area of the narrow urethral plate, also can be used as an onlay graft for urethroplasty in hypospadias repair to avoid this complication.

Patients And Methods: A comparative prospective randomized study was conducted on two groups of hypospadias patients with narrow urethral plate.

Evaluation of erectile function after anastomotic vs substitutional urethroplasty for bulbar urethral stricture.

Objective: To evaluate erectile function (EF) after anastomotic (AU) vs substitutional urethroplasty (SU) for bulbar urethral stricture.

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective comparative non-randomised clinical study conducted in the Department of Urology, Benha University Hospital, between September 2015 and September 2018, involving 34 male patients with urethral stricture. Preoperatively, all the patients completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-15 (EF Domain) to establish baseline sexual function.

Chronological Changes In Uroflowmetry After Hypospadias Repair: An Observational Study.

Aim: Urinary flow after urethroplasty is of paramount importance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the progression of uroflowmetry (UF) parameters after different distal and proximal hypospadias repair techniques.

Methods: In this cohort study, cases that underwent primary hypospadias repair at our institution between March 2010 and December 2018 were included when uncomplicated, asymptomatic and toilet-trained.

Pedicled preputial island flap for double functions in hypospadias surgery.

Objective: To use the prepuce for double functions one as a second layer for the neourethra to decrease the incidence of urethrocutaneous fistula and the second as a skin covering for the ventral aspect of the penis.

Material And Methods: From January 2013 to December 2016, 37 cases of hypospadias with mild to moderate chordee were included in this study. The cases with ventral penile skin defect were managed by tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) using pedicled preputial flap.

A Critical Analysis of Stented and Unstented Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty Through a Prospective Randomized Study and Assessment of Factors Influencing the Functional and Cosmetic Outcomes.

Objective: To compare, functionally and aesthetically, stented and unstented tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU). In addition, predictors of repair success were investigated.

Materials And Methods: One hundred ten children with distal hypospadias were included in this study.

High single scrotal-incision orchidopexy as the standard technique in infants aged 6-24 months.

Objective: To prospectively investigate the effectiveness of high single scrotal-incision orchidopexy (HSSIO) for palpable undescended testis (PUDT) in infants aged 6-24 months.

Patients And Methods: From March 2012 to July 2014, 46 age range-restricted (6-24 months) infants with 57 PUDT underwent HSSIO after obtaining written consent from their parents. The exclusion criteria were ectopic, retractile testes and recurrent cases.
