Repair of the Bulbospongiosus Muscle to Suspend the Penis to the Pubic Bones in Proximal Hypospadias.

Paediatric Urology Department, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL, United Kingdom.
Background: In proximal hypospadias, ventral curvature is invariable and most have penoscrotal transposition, and we observed that the base of the penis (BOP) was located on the inferior aspect of the pubic bones in those, in contrast to the location of the BOP at the anterior end in normal penises. We also observed an unfused bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) at surgery in those. The aim was to assess the impact of repairing the unfused BSM or transection and straightening of the urethral plate at the first operation on the low BOP.

Background: Varicocele is an abnormal dilation and torsion of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum due to venous reflux, primarily affecting the left side. It affects 15% of men and is a prevalent contributor to male infertility. Varicocele is a complex disorder influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

Hypospadias occurs sporadically in male livestock and is characterized by a non-fused urethra during fetal development. In this study, perineal hypospadias, a bifid scrotum, penile hypoplasia, and bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism were diagnosed in a neonatal Holstein male calf. Septicemia was also suspected due to hypothermia, blurred conjunctivae, and loss of sucking and swallowing reflexes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between maternal diabetes and cryptorchidism (undescended testes) in Jordanian male children, as this connection has not been thoroughly explored before.
- Over a 10-year period, data was collected from 368 children with cryptorchidism, of which 29 had mothers with gestational or type II diabetes, revealing that about 25% also had other related anomalies, predominantly genital ones.
- The findings indicate that while there are no significant differences in treatment timelines between children of diabetic and non-diabetic mothers, diabetic mothers are more likely to have children with additional urogenital anomalies, underscoring the need for further research and better screening practices for gestational diabetes.
