Objective: To demonstrate the use of a modified single-stage technique for the repair of a ventral penile urethral erosion with involvement of the penile skin, as penile urethral erosion is a rare but potential complication of chronic indwelling catheterisation with a lack of available recommendations for reconstructive options.
Patient And Methods: A 44-year-old male with paraplegia, neurogenic bladder dysfunction and chronic sacral decubitus, presented with a large mid-penile erosion of the ventral penile shaft and urethra, which was caused by chronic transurethral indwelling catheterisation while being hospitalised in an intensive care unit. The reconstruction involved a single-stage dorsal-inlay buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty (Asopa) in addition to the second stage of a two-stage urethroplasty. The urethroplasty as well as the buccal mucosa graft harvest were performed by a single team.
Results: The modified single-stage urethroplasty procedure had a duration of 158 min with a postoperative hospitalisation of 3 days. At 8-months follow-up, the lesion had fully healed and the patient was back on clean intermittent self-catheterisation with solifenacin 10 mg daily. No complications occurred postoperatively.
Conclusion: The modified single-stage dorsal-inlay technique is a viable method for repairing ventral penile urethral erosion with involvement of penile skin.

The ratio of COL2A1:COL1A1 in dartos tissue patients with hypospadias.
BMC Urol

Urology Department HOGIP UCAD, Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, Senegal.
Background: The inelasticity of dartos tissue and the regulation of collagen expression are significant factors in the pathophysiology of chordee associated with hypospadias. While the COL2A1:COL1A1 ratio is recognised as a measure of cell differentiation, there is yet to be a study specifically examining this ratio in hypospadias. The aim of this study was to determine the COL2A1:COL1A1 ratio.

Hypospadias is the absence of external urethral meatus in the tip of the glans but present in the ventral surface of the penis. Hypospadias surgery is challenging and changing. Many modifications have been done to reduce the complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses alternatives to buccal mucosa for reconstructive surgery in complex urethral strictures, given situations where buccal grafts may be inadequate or inappropriate.
- A 57-year-old male patient with a urethral stricture underwent urethroplasty utilizing a new VIVENDI graft, which is aldehyde-free, alongside a surgical technique involving a dorsal inlay.
- Post-surgery, the patient experienced no complications and reported satisfactory voiding, with follow-up planned for three months to assess recovery.
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.

Purpose: Hypospadias, one of the congenital anomalies commonly associated with some degrees of ventral penile curvature that may arise from malformation of dartos fascia, the chordee. Our study aims to determine the correlation between the histopathology properties of dartos fascia and the severity of ventral penile curvature in hypospadias.
Materials And Methods: One hundred hypospadias patients with various degrees of ventral penile curvature were included in this cross-sectional analytical study from 2020 to 2022.
