Penile torsion is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually characterized by a counterclockwise rotation of the penile shaft or glans. Although several surgical techniques for its correction have been proposed, the consensus of choosing the most efficient technique remains controversial. Herein, we report our operational approach that successfully corrected a severe (>90 degrees) isolated penile torsion in the form of penile degloving and dorsal dartos flap rotation surgery.

Patient and Provider Education Safely Reduces Opioid Prescribing After Pediatric Urologic Surgery.
Urology
October 2024
Phoenix Children's, Division of Urology, Phoenix, AZ. Electronic address:
Objective: To examine current opioid prescribing and determine what clinical factors were associated with use of opioids after urologic surgery after a previous study from our institution found that education regarding opioid prescribing practices significantly decreased post-operative opioid prescriptions from 61% to 34% (P <.0001).
Methods: From 2017 to 2023, a questionnaire querying what medications were used for post-operative pain was administered to patients/families at a postoperative visit.

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.
Is The Dorsal Dartos Flap Rotation Technique Successful in Children with Isolated Penile Torsion?

Department of Urology, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Medicine, Tokat, Türkiye.
Objective: Penile torsion is a counterclockwise rotational anomaly of the penile shaft or glans. We aimed to evaluate the results of dorsal dartos flap rotation technique in children with isolated penile torsion.
Materials And Methods: 5470 boys who applied to our clinic between 2012 and 2022 for circumcision were evaluated for congenital isolated penile torsion.
Expert classification of hypospadias: an external validation and evaluation of agreement for Glans-Urethral Meatus-Shaft (GMS) and Hypospadias Objective Penile Evaluation (HOPE) scores.

Article Synopsis
- - This study assesses how consistently different raters can use two scoring systems, the GMS and HOPE, to classify hypospadias, which is a condition affecting the penis in children.
- - Researchers analyzed 528 photos of hypospadias, finding high levels of agreement among raters for most characteristics, but lower agreement for the shape of the meatus, suggesting that the current methods rely heavily on personal judgment.
- - The findings indicate that while the GMS and HOPE scores generally show good consistency, the subjectivity in scoring emphasizes the need for more standardized classification methods in evaluating hypospadias.

Introduction: Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent among men of reproductive age. Clinical practice guidelines have been established to assist providers in identification and education of patients who are at increased risk for infertility and sexual dysfunction with certain congenital and acquired urogenital disorders. The authors sought to review the reproductive and sexual health implications of treating common childhood urological conditions with commonly performed surgical procedures.
