Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2010), Vol. 8, No. 1, Issue 29, 95-96 Case Note Webbed penis: A rare case Agrawal R1, Chaurasia D2, Jain M3 1Resident in Surgery, 2Associate Professor, Department of Urology, 3Assistant Professor, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, MLN Medical College, Allahabad (India) Abstract Webbed penis belongs to a rare and little-known defect of the external genitalia. The term denotes the penis of normal size for age hidden in the adjacent scrotal and pubic tissues. Though rare, it can be treated easily by surgery. A case of webbed penis is presented with brief review of literature. Key words: penis, webbed ebbed penis is a rare anomaly of structure of Wpenis. Though a congenital anomaly, usually the patient presents in late childhood or adolescence. Skin of penis forms the shape of a web, covering whole or part of penis circumferentially; with or without glans, burying the penile tissue inside. The length of shaft is normal with normal stretched length. Phimosis may be present. The penis appears small without any diffi culty in voiding function.

The goal of treatment is an early female gender assignment and feminizing reconstruction of the perineum. KEY WORDS: Aphallia, Penile agenesis, Ambiguous genitalia Penile agenesis (PA) is an extremely rare developmental the scrotal folds which were preserved for subsequent anomaly with the reported incidence of 1 in 30 million genital reconstruction. births[1]. PA is believed to result from either the absence of the genital tubercle, or its failure to develop.[2] Several DISCUSSION investigators claim the absence of corpora cavernosa and corpora spongiosum as a prerequisite for the diagnosis of The earliest case report of aphallia was by Imminger in penile agenesis.[3] Except for the reported XX-XY mosaic, 1853[2] since then only 75 cases have been reported in the patients have 46 XY karyotypes.[4] More than half of these literature[6].

Assessment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Younger Men
MEN’S HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS IN YOUNGER MEN Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in the ageing male and represent a significant burden on both the patient and the healthcare system worldwide. 1,2 Accordingly, the majority of clinical trials and guidelines focus on the older patient, despite the fact that men below these ages will also present with many of the same symptoms. In this review, the authors explore the challenges of assessing and managing men below 50 years with LUTS.

J Adv Radiol Med Image 4(1): 102 Received Date: April 04, 2019 Accepted Date: August 26, 2019 Published Date: August 28, 2019 Abstract Congenital anorchia is an uncommon clinical condition. Etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms are often unknown. Although some patients with anorchia present with ambiguous external genitalia or micropenis, most have a normal phenotype. XY Disorders of Sex Development classifications are numerous and success rate in establishing a precise diagnosis is far lower than in XX karyotype. We report the case of a young man, with 46 XY karyotype showing various uro-genital abnormalities. A definitive diagnosis was not established due to the complex clinical presentation. Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques were useful tools in the definition of uro-genital anomalies and gonadal development in this complex scenario.

Pre-Testicular, Testicular, and Post- Testicular Causes of Male Infertility Fotios Dimitriadis, George Adonakis, Apostolos Kaponis, Charalampos Mamoulakis, Atsushi Takenaka, and Nikolaos Sofikitis Abstract Infertility is both a private and a social health problem that can be observed in 12–15% of all sexually active couples. The male factor can be diagnosed in 50% of these cases either alone or in combination with a female component. The causes of male infertility can be identified as factors acting at pre-testicular, testicular or post-testicular level. However, despite advancements, predominantly in the genetics of fertility, etiological factors of male infertility cannot be identi- fied in approximately 50% of the cases, classified as idiopathic infertility. On the other hand, the majority of the causes leading to male infertility can be treated or prevented. Thus a full understanding of these conditions is crucial in order to allow the clinical andrologist not simply to retrieve sperm for assisted reproduc- tive techniques purposes, but also to optimize the male’s fertility potential in order to offer the couple the possibility of a spontaneous conceivement. This chapter offers the clinical andrologist a wide overview of pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular causes of male infertility. F.

Evaluation of Additional Anomalies in Concomitance of Hypospadias And
Türkiye Çocuk Hastalıkları Dergisi 222 Özgün Araştırma Original Article Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease Evaluation of Additional Anomalies in Concomitance of Hypospadias and Undescended Testes Hipospadias ve İnmemiş Testis Birlikteliğinde Ek Anomali Sıklığının Değerlendirilmesi Ufuk ATES, Gülnur GÖLLÜ, Nil YAŞAM TAŞTEKİN, Anar QURBANOV, Günay EKBERLİ, Meltem BİNGÖL KOLOĞLU, Emin AYDIN YAĞMURLU, Tanju AKTUĞ, Hüseyin DİNDAR, Ahmet Murat ÇAKMAK Ankara University Medical School, Pediatric Surgery Department, Pediatric Urology Division, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Objective: Hypospadias is a common genitourinary system (GUS) anomaly in boys occurring in 1 of 200 to 300 live births. Undescended testes is frequently detected among accompanying anomalies in cases with hypospadias. Especially in proximal hypospadias and bilateral cases, this association may indicate sexual differentiation disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the togetherness of additional anomalies in hypospadiac children with undescended testes. Material and Methods: Between 2007 and 2016, data of 392 children who underwent surgery for hypospadias were evaluated retrospectively. Urethral meatus was present at scrotal and penoscrotal in 65 cases (16.6%) and glanular, coronal, subcoronal and midpenile in 327 cases (83.4%). The cases were divided into two groups as those with both testes in the scrotum and those with undescended testes, and the anomalies were recorded. Results: The mean age of the children with proximal hypospadias was 21 months (6-240 months). Of the children with proximal hypospadias, 26 (40%) had undescended testes and 39 (60%) had testes in the scrotum. Undescended testes were detected bilaterally in 17 patients (65.4%) and unilaterally in nine patients (34.6%) in the undescended testes group. -

Penile Anomalies in Adolescence
Review Special Issue: Penile Anomalies in Children TheScientificWorldJOURNAL (2011) 11, 614–623 TSW Urology ISSN 1537-744X; DOI 10.1100/tsw.2011.38 Penile Anomalies in Adolescence Dan Wood* and Christopher Woodhouse Adolescent Urology Department, University College London Hospitals E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received August 13, 2010; Revised January 9, 2011; Accepted January 11, 2011; Published March 7, 2011 This article considers the impact and outcomes of both treatment and underlying condition of penile anomalies in adolescent males. Major congenital anomalies (such as exstrophy/epispadias) are discussed, including the psychological outcomes, common problems (such as corporal asymmetry, chordee, and scarring) in this group, and surgical assessment for potential surgical candidates. The emergence of new surgical techniques continues to improve outcomes and potentially raises patient expectations. The importance of balanced discussion in conditions such as micropenis, including multidisciplinary support for patients, is important in order to achieve appropriate treatment decisions. Topical treatments may be of value, but in extreme cases, phalloplasty is a valuable option for patients to consider. In buried penis, the importance of careful assessment and, for the majority, a delay in surgery until puberty has completed is emphasised. In hypospadias patients, the variety of surgical procedures has complicated assessment of outcomes. It appears that true surgical success may be difficult to measure as many men who have had earlier operations are not reassessed in either puberty or adult life. There is also a brief discussion of acquired penile anomalies, including causation and treatment of lymphoedema, penile fracture/trauma, and priapism.
