- The urofacial syndrome, also known as Ochoa syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive condition that occurs in both genders and characterized by uropathy and facial abnormalities. Early diagnosis is crucial for the management and prognosis of urinary problems due to a dysfunctional bladder. We report 11 patients with urofacial syndrome in five families from Turkey with a median follow up of 32 months (range, 2-44 months).

- To retrospectively evaluate success rates of different surgical approaches in the treatment of paraureteral (Hutch) diverticula (PUD) associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and also to define preoperative objective criteria to predict the surgical outcome.Records of 51 patients who underwent surgical treatment for PUD were reviewed. Intravesical ureteroneocystostomy (UNC), subureteral injection, and extravesical UNC were performed in 23, 28, and 10 renal units, respectively. Records of patients were evaluated with particular emphasis on predictors of treatment outcome. Mean follow-up was 22.1 months (range, 3-46). Statistical significance was set at P <.05.Overall success rates were 91%, 79%, and 80% for intravesical UNC, subureteral injection, and extravesical UNC, respectively (P >.05). The mean PUD index for patients who underwent endoscopic treatment was significantly lower (P <.05). In the endoscopic group, reflux was detected at the late-filling or voiding phase of voiding cystourethrography (P <.005). In patients, who were diagnosed with video urodynamics, reflux began at higher bladder pressures and volumes in the injection group (P <.005). UNC was more frequently used in patients with the orifice at the neck or dome (P <.005).For injection in the lower PUD index, onset of reflux at late-filling or voiding phase on voiding cystourethrography, higher pressure and volume on video urodynamics, and C position orifice are positive predictive parameters for success. Bilateral reflux with high PUD index and grade 5 VUR are associated with failure of intravesical reimplantation. Presence of grade 5 VUR and an early onset of reflux outstand as negative predictive factors for unilateral extravesical UNC.

- To compare dorsal and ventral dartos flap outcomes for tubularized incised-plate urethroplasty (TIPU) in terms of success, complication rates and cosmetic appearance in adult circumcised hypospadic men.Forty-two circumcised adult men underwent primary distal or midpenile hypospadias repair for cosmetic reasons by a single surgeon in a prospective randomized trial. Twenty-two patients were randomly selected for TIPU repair with dorsal (Group1, mean age 22.3 years) dartos flap as second layer. Twenty patients were randomly selected for TIPU repair with ventral dartos flap (Group2, mean age 21.1 years). Satisfaction questionnaires were answered by patients before surgery and at postoperative 6 weeks. The operating surgeon also filled in the form blindly at the same postoperative period. The differences between pre and postoperative satisfaction scores for each group were also evaluated. Preoperatively, all cases were evaluated with uroflowmetry and compared with postoperative results measured at 6th week of surgery. P < 0.05 was considered as significant.Mean follow-up was 24 months (4-28). Complications were encountered in 18 and 20% of the patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Complications were urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, retrusive/proximal meatus and residual curvature. Success rates were 82 and 80%, respectively. No differences were seen in overall satisfaction between the two groups (P = 0.07).Outcome of hypospadias repair in circumcised adults for cosmetic reasons is similar to uncircumcised hypospadics previously mentioned in the literature. Both dorsal and ventral flaps can be used in previously circumcised hypospadic adults with comparable satisfaction and complication rates and uroflow findings.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Circumcision is possibly the most frequently performed elective surgical procedure in men. It can simply be described as the excision of the preputium. There have been several studies about the association between circumcision and urinary tract infections (UTI). Many studies have demonstrated that the frequency of UTI increase in uncircumcised males, especially in the first year of life. This review discusses the embryology of the preputium, epidemiology, indications, complications and benefits of circumcision, as well as operation and anesthesiology techniques. It especially examines the association between UTI and circumcision and the importance of circumcision in congenital urinary system anomalies. In addition, this review examines the associations between circumcision and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, and the protective role of circumcision on penile cancer.

Pelvic reduction during pyeloplasty for antenatal hydronephrosis: does it affect outcome in ultrasound and nuclear scan postoperatively?

- To compare ultrasound (US) scan and nuclear renography findings in patients who underwent pyeloplasty with and without pelvic reduction in a randomized prospective study.A total of 42 patients, all prenatally diagnosed with unilateral hydronephrosis, were included. Hydronephrosis was confirmed postnatally. Twenty patients were randomly selected to undergo pyeloplasty with pelvic reduction and 22 underwent pelvis-sparing pyeloplasty. Patients were evaluated with mercaptoacetyltriglycine-3 scans on the sixth month and US scans on the first, third, and sixth months, postoperatively. Mean follow-up was 37 +/- 5.6 weeks. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square test and significance was set as P <.05. Power analyses were performed by the NCSS-PASS program. Power value of 0.84 was calculated for a sample size of 42.The anteroposterior pelvic diameter decreased significantly in the pelvic reduction group compared with pelvis-sparing group in the first- and third-month US scans. However, the difference was not significant in the sixth month. The improvements in the US findings for the pelvis-sparing group match with those of the pelvic reduction group later in the postoperative period. Pelvic reduction significantly improved the renal washout time (T(1/2)) in mercaptoacetyltriglycine-3 renography when compared with pyeloplasty group without reduction at postoperative sixth month. Differential renal function was found to be unaffected from pelvic reduction.Resolution of anteroposterior diameter in US scan is more prominent in the pelvic reduction group at earlier stages of the postoperative period. Although T(1/2) decreases more prominently in the pelvic reduction group, the utility of this procedure is still indecisive. This feature can reveal possible surgical failures earlier and strengthen the values of US and renography postoperatively.
