OBJECTIVES The characteristics of the megameatus intact prepuce (MIP) hypospadias variant present a unique challenge to surgeons. Dissatisfaction with the results of conventional repair methods led to the emergence of several alternative surgical approaches, including the glanular approximation (GAP) and pyramid procedures. The application of tubularized, incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty has n...

A 38-year-old male with NF1 visited our department because of slowly progressive hearing loss on the right side. His EAC was obstructed with a soft borderless mass around the external ear. We performed ultrasonic su...

OBJECTIVE To present our experience in the treatment of severe stenosis of the external urinary meatus in male children and adults with balanitis xerotic obliterans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 21 patients were operated on in a 5-year period, using the meatoplasty technique of Malone. Mean patient age was 41.7 years (range 7-75).

Objective. To analyze the penile and urethral meatus biometry and its correlation with meatoplasty during endoscopic resections. We also propose a new classification for urethral meatus morphology. Materials and Methods. We prospectively studied 105 patients who underwent prostate and bladder transurethral resections. We performed standardized measurement of penile and urethral meatus biometry ...
