Aim: We have previously employed the tubularized incised plate (TIP) repair technique in distal hypospadias cases with a few modifications because of its excellent cosmetic results. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of spongioplasty and dorsal dartos flaps, in addition to short urethral stents on the outcomes of TIP repair.
Materials And Methods: Only distal hypospadias cases were involved in this study. Eligible patients were divided into two groups: group A included patients repaired with both spongioplasty and dorsal dartos flap placement, while group B included patients repaired with dorsal dartos flap placement alone. Group A was further divided into two subgroups according to the type of catheter used (bladder catheter or short urethral stent).
Results: A total of 473 patients were included in this study. There was no statistically significant difference observed in the complication rates between the two groups. In Group A, a bladder catheter was used in 107 patients and a short urethral stent was used in 135 patients. When the results of the two groups were compared, there was no statistically significant difference.
Conclusions: Spongioplasty could be combined with dorsal dartos flap placement to reduce the need for dorsal plication rather than to reduce the fistula rate. Short urethral stents can be used safely with no postoperative effects in children who have completed toilet training.

Clitoral hypertrophy is a condition that has a negative impact on a womans intimate life and can cause embarrassment and impact on her sexual life. The article describes a surgical technique of clitoroplasty performed with a 360° circumferential subcoronal incision only in the skin and Dartos tunica to avoid neuronal damage, followed by degloving to the base of the clitoris, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle. The body of the clitoris was amputated, preserving 0.

Article Synopsis
- * The study aims to compare the mRNA expression of specific proteins involved in hypospadias development between the ventral and dorsal tunica dartos in children diagnosed with hypospadias and chordee.
- * Currently in the protocol development stage, the study's results are anticipated by the end of 2024 and aim to improve understanding of the condition's underlying mechanisms.

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.

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.
