Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proximal hypospadias surgery is impacted by a high complication rate. The goal of this work was to assess the overall composite complication rate, fistula rate and stenosis rate following proximal hypospadias surgery realized according to onlay urethroplasty, Duckett, Koyanagi and Bracka techniques. METHODS The databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Sciencedirect were searched. Studies had to report data about the mean age of population, the average duration of patient follow-up and the number of procedures required for surgical treatment of primary and proximal hypospadias. Two independent including one urologist reviewers screened all the articles and selected the articles to be included. RESULTS Overall composite complication rates were 32%, 34%, 49%, and 43%, for Onlay urethroplasty, Duckett's tubularized flaps urethroplasty, Koyanagi repair and Bracka 2 stages repair, respectively. Fistula rates were 13%, 18%, 21% and 23% respectively. The heterogeneity of complication rates reported in the different studies was not moderated by age, country, or patient's continent origin. DISCUSSION The classifications of complications used in articles were disparate and make comparisons between techniques difficult. The report of post-surgical complications in the literature is often poorly coded and follow-up times were often too short. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis attempts to determine to the extent possible, given the serious weaknesses in the hypospadias literature, plausible estimates of complication rates after skin flap urethroplasty. The patched onlay skin flap, the Duckett's tubularized skin flap technique, the Koyanagi's technique, and the Bracka's two-stage urethroplasty procedure lead to very high complication rates. Reported complication rates are comparable across techniques.

Abstract
The vast majority of voice disorders is associated with changes of the unique, but delicate, human vocal fold mucosa. The ability to develop new effective treatment methods is significantly limited by the physical inaccessibility and the extremely rare occasions under which healthy tissue biopsies can be obtained. Therefore, the interest in laryngological research has shifted to human oral (buccal) mucosa, a similar and more easily available tissue. The harvesting process is less invasive and accompanied with faster healing and less scarring, compared to vocal fold mucosa. Here we report a descriptive proteomic comparison of paired human buccal and vocal fold mucosa by high‐resolution mass spectrometry (CID‐MS/MS). Our study identified a total of 1575 proteins detected within both tissues that are highly consistent in several crucial biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. Hence, our proteomic analysis will provide a fundamental resource for the laryngological research community.

Kim SW, Lee YS, Han SW. Buccal Mucosa Tube Graft for Failed Hypospadias Repair: Worth it or Not? Urology 2020; 146:196-200. [PMID: 32910954 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2020.07.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the outcome of buccal mucosa tube graft (BMTG) over time in correcting failed hypospadias. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis, reviewing charts of all 69 patients who underwent BMTG to repair hypospadias between January 2005 and October 2016. Twenty-one patients were excluded, leaving 48 eligible study subjects. In patients with penile curvatures, corrective procedures (including urethral division, corporoplasty, and local skin flap) took place prior to grafting. RESULTS Mean age at surgery was 8.96 years, and mean duration of follow-up was 73.10 ± 30.31 months. A mean of 1.88 previous surgeries was recorded. During follow-up, only 7 patients (14.5%) were complication free. The other 41 patients required at least 1 additional procedure. Stricture-free rates were 50%, 35.4%, and 27% at 1, 3, and 12 months after BMTG, respectively. Among 37 patients with postoperative stricture, 25 were treated only by endoscopic procedures. Single operation prior to BMTG (P= .004) and usage of larger catheter size (>8Fr) (P = .029) were confirmed significant factors associated with better stricture-free survival after BMTG by log-rank test. After several additional procedures, 46 patients (95.8%) reported normal urination with mean maximal urinary flow of 9.55 mL/s and post-void residual of 16.08 mL for at least 12 months on last visit. CONCLUSION BMTG after failed hypospadias repair seems prone to complications, primarily urethral stricture. However, a large number of patients with postoperative stricture could be treated simply by endoscopic procedures. Given the better results of staged approach, BMTG should be only applied to highly selected patients with failed hypospadias.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to elucidate the urodynamic features of patients with Y-type urethral duplication. METHODS Patients with Y-type urethral duplication were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical presentation, urodynamic findings, surgical methods, and treatment outcomes were reviewed. RESULTS From 2014 to 2016, six boys were diagnosed with Y-type urethral duplication at our institution. All patients underwent urodynamic testing. Urodynamic testing in patient 1 and 2 revealed detrusor pressure as 100cmH2O and 88cmH2O in the voiding stage, while urinary flow rate were 0ml/s and 2.8ml/s with volume of residual urine as 300ml and 110ml respectively, which consistent with the typical urodynamic of lower urinary tract obstruction. Patient 1, 3, 4 and 6 showed impaired bladder compliance as 7.5ml/H2O, 12ml/H2O, 6ml/H2O and 6ml/H2O respectively. Patient 5 and 6 also showed maximum urethral pressure as 110cmH2O and 125cmH2O with maximum urethral closure pressure as 103cmH2O and 110cmH2O respectively in the resting state. CONCLUSIONS Y-type urethral duplication is one potential cause of lower urinary tract obstruction, as seen in the abnormal urodynamic findings in our patients. Further studies are needed to elucidate the characteristics of this rare condition and determine optimal surgical management. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective case series. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4 observational study without controls.

Abstract
The staged graft urethroplasty is a recommended technique for repairing complex hypospadias. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the outcomes of this technique in hypospadias patients undergoing reoperation and to analyze the underlying contributing factors including age, meatus location, and graft and suture type.We retrospectively analyzed 40 hypospadias patients undergoing reoperation who received a staged oral graft urethroplasty, including 15 buccal mucosal grafts and 25 lingual mucosal grafts. Median age at presentation was 18.5 years, and median follow-up was 17.5 months (range 8-30 months). The patients were classified according to their original meatus location.Twenty-five complications developed in 12 of 40 (30%) cases, including 6 fistulas (15%), 7 infections (17.5%), 9 cases of glans dehiscence (22.5%), and 3 cases of stenosis (7.5%). There was no significant difference in the overall complication rates between prepuberty and postpuberty groups. In addition, no significant difference in complications was found between the 2 graft techniques. The complications were significantly higher in the original perineal type compared with the original penoscrotal type (7/10 vs 5/30, P = .0031). Seven patients who originally had perineal hypospadias developed multiple complications.Based on this study, the staged graft urethroplasty is an effective technique in reoperative hypospadias repairs with reasonable complication risk. The hypospadias classification affects the surgical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Buccal mucosa is the favored graft material for patients with long urethral defects and a paucity of skin. Since 2007, we have used the novel tunneled buccal mucosa tube graft urethroplasty technique in these patients. We describe this operative technique and report our surgical and functional outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2007 and 2013, 37 males with proximal hypospadias underwent tunneled buccal mucosa tube graft urethroplasty. After the penile shaft was optimized at a prior stage a free buccal graft was tubularized and tunneled under the intact ventral shaft skin and into the glans. We retrospectively reviewed all charts to report our results. We assessed uroflowmetry and bladder ultrasound for post-void residual urine. RESULTS The overall complications rate in 34 patients with more than 1-year followup was 32% (11), including fistula in 5, proximal stricture in 4 and meatal stenosis in 2. In the first 10 patients a total of 7 complications (70%) developed but there were only 4 complications in the next 24 (16%). Surgeon experience was the only significant predictor of complications (p = 0.003). We obtained uroflow and post-void residual urine data on 13 of 37 patients, of whom 9 achieved a normal flow pattern and post-void residual urine, and 4 had a blunted flow pattern. CONCLUSIONS The novel technique of the tunneled buccal mucosa tube graft in patients with proximal hypospadias represents a good alternative for a long urethroplasty in patients with a paucity of skin. After the learning curve plateaus the rate and degree of complications decrease. Furthermore, voiding function is adequate, as assessed by uroflow studies and post-void residual urine measurement.

Buccal grafts for urethroplasty in pre-pubertal boys: what happens to the neourethra after puberty? J Pediatr Urol 2014; 10:850-3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Buccal mucosa grafts (BMG) are often used in complex urethral reconstruction. Following pubertal endogenous androgen stimulation (EAS) in prepubertal boys, there are concerns that the neourethra may not grow proportionally to the phallus. To address the paucity of literature on the topic, this article reports on data for post-pubertal follow up after pre-pubertal BMG urethroplasties (BMGU). PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective chart review of boys who underwent staged BMGU before the age of 12 years at a single referral center between 2000 and 2010 and who were followed up until after puberty. Demographic information, initial meatal location, quality of graft before tubularization, flow rate parameters (FRP) and complications were captured. RESULTS Of the 137 patients who underwent staged BMGU during the study period, 10 satisfied the inclusion criteria. Mean patient age at first stage BMGU was eight years (range five to eleven years). The mean follow-up was 40.6 months (9-66 months). The grafts were harvested from the cheek and lower lip in seven and three cases, respectively. The mean interval between the first and second stage was 15.8 months (6-87 months). Complications included one urethro-cutaneous fistula and two cases of glanular dehiscence. The final position of the meatus was glanular in nine boys and coronal in one. Importantly, no recurrent ventral curvature (VC) was found during the second stage BMGU or reported after puberty. All patients demonstrated normal maximum flow after puberty (mean 25.7 ml/s). CONCLUSION Buccal mucosa grafts appear to grow proportionally to the phallus after pubertal EAS. No recurrent VC or inadequate FRP were observed in this series. Despite the small number of subjects, the results are reassuring and support continued use of BMG in the pediatric pre-pubertal population.

Abstract
Hypospadias, epispadias with or without exstrophy, and disorders of sex development are among the most common anomalies of genitalia that occur during childhood. Considering the tremendous effect of genitourinary reconstruction on adult life, the evaluation of the long-term results of different techniques of genitoplasty in pediatrics is of the utmost importance. After reviewing the literature, the authors summarize the available long-term outcomes of genitoplasty in childhood, specifically focusing on the cosmetic, psychosocial, psychosexual and functional results, and emphasize that, contrary to the widely available data on early outcomes of genital reconstruction in the pediatric population, very few well described controlled studies have evaluated the long-term effect of genitoplasty in puberty and adulthood, in the sense that the surgeon should describe the peroperative findings in more detail and also be more structured in evaluating the postoperative result at follow-up visits. Finally, the authors conclude that more attention should be paid to the impact of these techniques on cosmetic aspects and psychosexual development in these patients after puberty, as they play a crucial role in their adult quality of life.

Abstract
Aims: Report of seven children with Y-type urethral duplication (YUD). Materials and Methods: (A) Four staged operations were performed in patients having extensive perineal dissection (for rectourinary fistula separation and anterior mobilization of ventral urethra (VU)), tension rectocutaneous anastomosis, and children who were not toilet trained). These stages are (1) diversion sigmoid colostomy with anterior mobilization of VU as perineal urethrostomy via anterior sagittal approach; (2) Orthotopic urethral (OU) reconstruction; (3) anastomosis of OU and perineal urethra; (4) colostomy closure with management of complications. (B) The patients having VU onto the perineum underwent single stage urethral reconstruction. Results: The VU was urethrorectal/urethroanal in five and urethroperineal in two. Low anorectal malformation and upper urinary tract anomalies were present in 57.1% (4/7) and 14.7% (1/7) patients, respectively. Buccal mucosa free graft, transverse inner preputial flap, and perineal skin were tubularized for OU reconstruction. Mean age at 1st , 2nd , 3rd , and 4th surgery was 5 ± 0.78, 28 ± 0.78, 36 ± 0.78, 49 ± 0.78 months respectively. Three patients needed surgery for complications (urethrocutaneous fistula in two and urethral diverticulum in one) in a mean 3.12 ± 0.34 years of follow-up. Final uroflowmetry and fecal continence were good in all patients. Conclusions: The YUD is a difficult entity to manage. Although, staged procedure appears to be time consuming, but good and promising results can be achieved by staging the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a new technique to preserve the penile epithelium with good cosmetic results when additional surgery is a significant possibility. Complex genital reconstruction can require multiple procedures. METHODS Seven patients underwent grafting of the penile epithelium to the scrotum during genital reconstruction to bank the tissue for potential future use. The graft size was 8-40 mm in the maximal length. RESULTS The median age at surgery was 8.1 months. The median interval to the last follow-up examination after surgery was 13.5 months. All 7 patients demonstrated excellent wound healing with good cosmetic results. CONCLUSION In patients with complex genital anomalies, nonhair-bearing epithelium is a valuable asset. At times, the paucity of available local tissue necessitates autografting with nongenital epithelium. The need for nongenital tissue can be reduced if excess penile skin is banked for potential use at a later date. We describe a technique in which the penile skin is preserved for potential future reconstruction using free grafting to the scrotum.
