Proximal hypospadias are a difficult surgical problem, whether it could take place different surgical approaches. One of those is based on the creation of a neourethra using a free buccal mucosal graft, as a patch or a tube, obtained from de lips or cheek. Since 1983 we have been using this technique in 8 patients. The urethral meatus was penoscrotal in 3, scrotal in 3 and perineal in 2. There was a significant chordee in 3 patients. Hormonal treatment was necessary in 5 patients. The average age for surgery was 3.5 years. The graft was tubularized in all the cases. The free buccal mucosal graft was combined with a distal Duckett procedure in 6 patients. Two patients received only a free buccal mucosal graft. The final result is satisfactory in all the cases, with a good urinary jet. The complications were 7 urethrocutaneous fistulas, 5 of whom needed a surgical repair, and 2 stenosis, which also needed surgical repair.

The healing of lower eyelid injuries can lead to anatomical distortion and compromise the function of multiple periocular structures. To restore eyelid function and aesthetics, it is crucial to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment to the affected structures. The presented case describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a lower eyelid symblepharon, which can be easily misdiagnosed as other scarring sequelae.

A 14-year-old boy developed hydronephrosis and worsening renal function due to fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder and left ureter at the age of 12 years. The endoscopic treatment of ureteral polyps was attempted by his previous doctor; however urethral stricture and ureteral stricture developed and was untreatable. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further reconstructive treatment.

Background And Objective: Management of a long proximal ureteral stricture is challenging. Buccal mucosal graft (BMG) ureteroplasty is a reliable technique for ureteral reconstruction that avoids the morbidity of bowel interposition or autotransplantation. We compared open and robotic BMG ureteroplasty in a two-center study.

Cheek swabs, heterogeneous samples consisting primarily of buccal epithelial cells, are widely used in pediatric DNA methylation studies and biomarker creation. However, the decrease in buccal proportion with age in adults remains unexamined in childhood. We analyzed cheek swabs from 4626 typically developing children 2-months to 20-years-old.
