Parameatal based flip flap urethroplasty as a salvage procedure for management of graft fibrosis following first stage of staged free graft hypospadias repair.

Introduction: Graft fibrosis following the first stage of a free graft staged hypospadias repair is a difficult scenario where the management has traditionally been to excise the graft and replace it with a new graft. However, still the risk of recurrent fibrosis remains making it difficult to proceed to the second stage and tubularising a fibrosed graft practically ensures a breakdown. Herein, we present our way of using parameatal based flip flap urethroplasty as a salvage procedure in this situation.

Introduction: The incidence of kidney stones in children has steadily increased in recent years. Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) techniques, such as micro-PCNL(4.85Fr) and ultramini-PCNL(<15Fr), have become increasingly prevalent in pediatric kidney stone treatment due to their high stone clearance rate and low complication rate.

Objectives: Attaining castration resistance in metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC) represents a pivotal juncture in the progression of the patient's illness and treatment regimen. Within this therapeutic context, novel hormonal agents (NHA) constitute a fundamental component of pharmacological intervention. However, the efficacy of NHA therapy remains uncertain for patients with a compromised general condition, as indicated by an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of ≥2.
