Comparative study in distal hypospadias repair: a meatal-based flaps technic vs. tubularized incised plate urethroplasty.

Objectives: Hypospadias is the most common anomaly of the male genital system after undescended testis. More than 200 surgical repair techniques have been described for the treatment of hypospadias due to many different meatus localisations and other accompanying anomalies. Kutlay defined a new technique in 2010 with 10 patients with distal hypospadias patients.

Investigation of Trace Element Levels and Toxic Metals in Obese Children: A Single-Center Experienc.

The complete role of factors contributing to the pathogenesis of childhood obesity remains to be fully elucidated. Limited research has addressed trace elements in the context of child obesity. Our objective was to assess trace element and lead (Pb), copper (Cu) (are toxic metal) levels in both healthy and obese children, and to investigate the potential correlations between these elements and obesity-related anthropometric measurements, lipid profiles, as well as insulin and glucose levels.

Comparison of long-term outcomes of laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing and classic open approach for inguinal hernia repair in children.

Introduction: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries in children. Recently, the use of minimally invasive techniques for inguinal hernia repair has increased in children. Laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) is a technique described for paediatric inguinal hernia repair.

Evaluation of antioxidant enzyme levels, oxidative stress markers and serum prolidase activity in testicular cancer.

Introduction: Testicular cancer is a significant malignancy affecting males, and understanding the underlying biochemical changes associated with the disease is essential for improved management and treatment strategies. Prolidase enzyme, has been implicated in various disease processes. The assessment of serum prolidase activity and its relationship with testicular cancer can provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of the disease.

Comparing two surgical techniques in distal hypospadias repair: Urethral mobilization vs. urethral plate tubularization.

Objectives: While numerous techniques have been described for hypospadias repair, the Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) procedure is currently the most frequently used method. On the other hand, urethral mobilization techniques have less frequent preference. In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes of these two techniques in patients with distal hypospadias, particularly those with the urethral meatus located at the coronal and subcoronal.

Percutaneous treatment of superior vena cava syndrome caused by chronic thrombosis.

Chronic upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) and superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) are becoming increasingly common due to the use of indwelling catheters and implantable central venous access devices. Hypercoagulable syndromes, malignancy, extrinsic compression, and tumor invasion are other causes. Endovascular management of chronic UEDVT and SVCS is accepted as an important first-line treatment given its high overall success rate and low morbidity as compared with medical and surgical treatments.
