Megameatus intact prepuce: a systematic review of surgical techniques and long-term outcomes.

Megameatus intact prepuce (MIP) presents with diverse phenotypes that complicate the management of this rare but complex hypospadias variant. Current data on optimal treatment methods and patient outcomes are sparse, unintegrated, and therefore challenging to implement clinically. A comprehensive systematic review of the existing literature on MIP was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.

Unaided Visual Inspection for Assessment of Penile Curvature in the Clinical Setting of Hypospadias Surgery: Survey of Members of Society of Pediatric Urology (India).

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of unaided visual inspection (UVI) to Software App measurement (SAM) of penile curvature (PC) during hypospadias surgery.

Methods: Seven clinical pictures of PC (15°-60°) taken during hypospadias repair were shared with 300 members of the Society of Pediatric Urology (India). The respondents were asked to assess the angles by UVI and indicate their preferred correction method of that PC.

A simple technique for percutaneous antegrade retrieval of proximally migrated double J stents after pyeloplasty in infants.

Proximal migration of double J (DJ) stent after pyeloplasty poses a difficult problem in infants whose small ureter renders retrograde ureteroscopic retrieval difficult. Previously described antegrade techniques used large access sheaths or blind removal under fluoroscopic guidance. We describe a technique for antegrade retrieval of the stent under direct vision.

How effective is nephrectomy in curing hypertension in children with unilateral poorly functioning kidney? A systematic review.

Purpose: Some children with hypertension (HTN) have unilateral poorly functional kidney (PFK). This provides an opportunity for the clinician to cure the HTN by removal of the PFK, thereby avoiding the problems of long-term medication. However, there is sparse data in children regarding the effect of PFK nephrectomy on curing HTN.
