Background: Disorders of Sexual Development can cause significant psychological distress for parents, particularly in traditional societies where such conditions are stigmatized.
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.
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). Our study aims to compare the postoperative outcomes of urethroplasty for distal hypospadias between two groups: one receiving single preputial flap coverage and another receiving double flap coverage.
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.
Article Synopsis
- Corrosive substance ingestion in children poses serious long-term health risks, particularly esophageal stricture, which can be managed through pneumatic dilation or esophageal replacement.
- A study from January 2005 to December 2020 evaluated the effectiveness of pneumatic balloon dilation in treating pediatric patients with caustic esophageal stenosis, finding a successful dilation rate of 80.4%.
- The severity of the stricture and the number of dilation sessions were significant risk factors for failure, suggesting that surgeons should consider early surgical intervention to improve outcomes.
Objective: To determine which patients should benefit from the interposition of a well-vascularized flap between the neourethra and the penile skin and if it should be performed even in mild hypospadias.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study on patients with a primary hypospadias repair was performed (2003-2017). Only patients undergoing urethroplasty based on the principle of a tubularization were selected to ensure comparable groups.
Background: Pulmonary hydatid disease remains an important healthcare problem. Conservative operative interventions including cystotomy or cystotomy with capitonnage are the two commonly used techniques. However, there is no scientific consensus over selection of these operative interventions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to document clinical features of inguinal hernia (IH) in the pediatric population. It provides data to evaluate associated risk factors of incarcerated hernia, its recurrence as well as the occurrence of contralateral metachronous hernia.
Materials And Methods: We report a retrospective analytic study including 922 children presenting with IH and operated from 2010 to 2013 in our pediatric surgery department.
