Effective retraction and clear exposure of urethral tissue is essential in reconstructive penile surgery. The Joshi-Kulkarni retractor provides stable, bloodless operative exposure via non-traumatic tissue compression at the base of penis. The self-retaining design of this retractor also improves ergonomics thereby reducing surgeon fatigue. In this article, we describe how to do a penile urethroplasty by using the Joshi-Kulkarni penile retractor.

A penile fracture is typically a urological emergency resulting from blunt trauma to the penis, particularly during sexual activity, and it is rarely associated with urethral injury. A 52-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with complaints of penile swelling and bruising following sexual intercourse. Assessment of the patient indicated the presence of both penile fracture and anterior urethral injury, and simultaneous repairs were performed.

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.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, focusing on the history of the urethral stricture and current trends based on national and international guidelines for urethral stricture management.

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.
