Purpose: To compare between the dartos and tunica vaginalis flaps as covering layers in denovo distal or mid-shaft penile hypospadias underwent tubularized incised plate (TIP) repair.
Methods: This is a single-center, randomized trial was for denovo distal or mid-shaft penile hypospadias. Children with history of orchiectomy, orchiopexy and inguinal hernia repair were excluded.

Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is a malignancy with known inherited risk factors, affecting young men. We have previously identified several hundred differentially abundant circulating RNAs in pre-diagnostic serum from TGCT cases compared to healthy controls. In this study, we performed Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) on mRNA and miRNA data from these samples.

Background: Karyotype 46, XY female disorders of sex development (46, XY female DSD) are congenital conditions due to irregular gonadal development or androgen synthesis or function issues. Genes significantly influence DSD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study identified a Chinese family with 46, XY female DSD due to the CUL4B gene.

Undescended testis and testicular torsion represent two frequent andrological diseases that affect the pediatric age. Despite these testicular disorders having different causes, they both negatively influence fertility in adulthood mainly due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which represents the primary molecular damage underlying their long-term effects. The gold standard of treatment for both pathologies is surgery; however, it cannot guarantee an optimal fertility outcome in all clinical cases, underscoring the need to identify effective adjuvant therapies that may target the augmented ROS levels.

46,XY sex reversal 11 (SRXY11) is a rare and recently identified form of 46,XY difference in sexual development (DSD), caused by variants in the DEAH-Box Helicase 37 gene (). is crucial for ribosome biogenesis, but its specific role in gonadal development remains unclear. The genital phenotype varies widely, ranging from typical female to typical male.
