Purpose: We analyzed the histological and functional characteristics of the tubularized incised plate vs dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty in an experimental rabbit model.
Materials And Methods: A total of 24 New Zealand male rabbits were randomly allocated into 4 groups, including sham operation, urethroplasty, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty and dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty. In the urethroplasty group the anterior urethral wall was half excised and the dorsal aspect was tubularized. In the tubularized incised plate group the same steps were followed but tubularization followed a longitudinal midline incision in the dorsal wall. In the dorsal inlay graft group the defect created by the dorsal incision was covered with an inner preputial graft. The animals were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. The penis was immediately harvested for standardized passive flowmetry and subsequently fixed for histological staining.
Results: The grafts took in all animals. The tubularized incised plate defect was bridged by urothelium while in the dorsal inlay graft group the preputial graft kept its original histological characteristics. There was a significant decrease in average flow in the urethroplasty group (1.6 ml per second) compared to that in the sham operated group (3.4 ml per second) and to the other groups (p <0.05). However, no significant difference in average flow was found for the tubularized incised plate and dorsal inlay graft groups (2.4 and 2.2 ml per second, respectively, p = 0.7).
Conclusions: In this short-term rabbit model dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty was feasible with good graft take and integration. Simple tubularization of a reduced urethral plate led to significantly decreased flow. Incision of the reduced plate with or without grafting improved the average flow. Findings in this experimental model do not support the superiority of dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty over tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in terms of urethral flow dynamics.

Background: Healing complications are a significant concern after hypospadias repair, often attributed to deficient growth factors and reduced healing potential of hypospadiac tissue. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a new generation of platelet concentrates rich in growth factors, has been successfully applied to provide a mechanical barrier and promote healing in different surgical fields. The objective of this study was to assess the role of a PRF membrane covering the neourethra, in addition to a Dartos flap, optimizing the outcomes of primary distal hypospadias repair.

Background/objectives: Several surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of hypospadias, a common and heterogeneous congenital abnormality in males. Most surgeons utilize either a urethral stent or bladder catheter for 2-14 days as a postoperative urine diversion method depending on the severity of each case and the surgeon's preferences. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of anterior and mid-penile hypospadias repair while placing the urethral catheter for only 20 h.

Objectives: Hypospadias is the most common anomaly of the male genital system after undescended testis. More than 200 surgical repair techniques have been described for the treatment of hypospadias due to many different meatus localisations and other accompanying anomalies. Kutlay defined a new technique in 2010 with 10 patients with distal hypospadias patients.

Objective: Penoscrotal transposition (PST) is a rare anomaly of the external genitalia characterized by malposition of the penis in relation to the scrotum. This transposition may be partial or complete and may be associated with hypospadias, chordee, and other anomalies. We have reviewed our experience with the surgical repair of PST utilizing a modified Glenn-Anderson technique.

Objective: To investigate the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of the modified grafted tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (G-TIP), namely "glans G-TIP (GG-TIP) ", in treatment of hypospadias.
Methods: A clinical data of 137 children with hypospadias qualified by the selection criteria between January 2021 and June 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 75 children were treated with GG-TIP (GG-TIP group) and 62 with G-TIP (G-TIP group).
