hypospadias/tunica

OBJECTIVE Via a 2-stage procedure, 10 patients with failed hypospadias repairs were treated by a varied combination of split-thickness mesh graft urethroplasty and tunica vaginalis flap. METHODS A bed for the mesh graft in 3 patients was provided by a tunica vaginalis flap. Tunica vaginalis flaps

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study are 1. to compare outcome of standard tubularised incised plate urethroplasty (TIP) repair using dartos flap in distal vs. midshaft hypospadias and 2. to determine whether tunica vaginalis flap (TVF) is superior to dartos flap in midshaft hypospadias in reducing

The adequate correction of penile curvature is essential for successful hypospadias surgery. We describe a novel technique to correct severe penile curvature with a tunica vaginalis flap on the penile ventrum. We applied a tunica vaginalis flap to lengthen the ventral aspect of the tunica albuginea

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate ventral corporoplasty, with tunica vaginalis flap to reconstruct the corpora cavernosa, in a two-stage strategy for proximal hypospadias surgery. METHODS Assessment of residual curvature after complete urethral plate division and transverse superficial cuts in albuginea.

OBJECTIVE To report a prospective comparative study on using dartos fascia, i.e. subcutaneous tissue of penile skin and tunica vaginalis pedicled wrap (TVPW) from the parietal layer of the tunica vaginalis of the testis, for a one-stage tubularized incised-plate (TIP) repair for

OBJECTIVE To discussed a new technique for multi-fistulas after urethroplasty in hypospadias. METHODS 8 cases with postoperative multi-fistulas, which were not successfully repaired by previous treatment, were reoperated with tunica vaginalis flap combined with urethral stent and elastic dressing.

Tunica vaginalis was used to wrap around the neourethra at the time of hypospadias repair. This tunica vaginalis wrap prevented urethrocutaneous fistulas in 20 patients who underwent hypospadias repair. It also was successful when used in conjunction with urethrocutaneous fistula repair in 2

BACKGROUND Urethrocutaneous fistula is the most common complication of hypospadias surgery. The correction of such fistula is associated with a failure rate of 10 to 40%. The step in successful repair of a fistula is separation of the suture lines in the urethra and skin using well vascularized

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the methods of repairing urethral fistula resulting from hypospadias operation. METHODS We analyzed the clinical data of 46 cases of surgical repair of urethral fistula resulting from hypospadias operation. The patients ranged in age from 3 to 26 (mean 11.7) years. There were

Despite the improvements that have been made in equipment and in the techniques of hypospadias repair, some patients still present with failed repairs and urethral fistulas. In such patients the lack of prepuce leads to difficulty in obtaining adequate tissue for further reconstruction. In 14

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of modified Koyanagi technique with coverage by tunica vaginalis of testis in severe hypospadias. METHODS 49 cases with severe hypospadias treated from Jan. 2009 to Sep. 2011 were retrospectively studied. 25 patients underwent Koyanagi technique with

OBJECTIVE To explore the treatment of hypospadias with hydrocele. METHODS Nine patients with hypospadias complicated by hydrocele underwent urethroplasty with tunica vaginalis flap. RESULTS Satisfactory results were achieved in 7 cases, all with a normal anatomic position of urethral meatus, perfect

OBJECTIVE We describe the surgical technique of and report the results in the first 20 patients who underwent combined onlay-tube construction of a tunica vaginalis flap. METHODS We repaired 20 cases of proximal primary (8) and repeat (12), adult hypospadias using a tube-onlay in 4, an onlay-tube in

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of simple tunica albugineaincision and ventral penile lengthening surgery on the correction of penile curvature due to asymmetry of the cavernous bodies in hypospadias. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 39 children with
