Article Abstract
Background: Hypospadias is a common urogenital system disorder. The frenulum, which is the most sensitive area of the glans penis, is not present in patients with hypospadias. This may lead to a failure in sexual and ejaculatory function, and cause emotional problems affecting cognitive processes.
Aim: We aimed to study auditory Event Related Potentials (ERP) in patients with hypospadias to understand the status of cognitive function.
Materials And Methods: Seventeen patients with hypospadias who presented to the Urology Outpatient Clinic of Çanakkale Military Hospital, and 11 healthy individuals of similar age were chosen. The auditory oddball paradigm with ERP from the Cz and Fz head regions were studied. The latency and amplitude of the P300 wave were measured.
Results: Both, the study and control groups consisted of young males. Although the study group had a longer P300 latency and lower P300 amplitude when compared to control group, the results were not statistically significant (p: 0.059 and 0.346 respectively).
Conclusion: Although the results are not statistically significant, our findings indicate that there may be cognitive changes in patients with hypospadias. Further studies of larger sample size and older patient cohorts are needed.

Staged tubularized preputial graft in proximal hypospadias, are we in the right direction?

Background: Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital defects of male external genitalia. Correction of severe ventral curvature remains a main challenge to surgeons. The aim of this work was to assess short term outcomes of the staged tubularized preputial graft in primary proximal hypospadias with severe ventral curvature in our center with the hypothesis that it's comparable to published results in the two stage repair technique.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional status of the urethra using uroflowmetry before surgery, as well as three and six months postoperatively in cases of distal hypospadias.
Material And Methods: Thirty-nine consecutive patients who underwent surgery for distal hypospadias (hypospadias group) between 2016 and 2019 were prospectively included as part of this study. The control group consisted of 40 patients with a normal urethra who underwent surgery due to conditions other than hypospadias (phimosis, undescended testis, hernia).
Leveraging Health Insurance Claims Data to Complement the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Surveillance System for Birth Defects.

Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Birth defect surveillance can help identify temporo-spatial clusters and teratogenic signals to inform subsequent investigations or interventions. In the United States, state surveillance systems exist but collect limited information, prompting a complementary use of health insurance claims data to describe national birth defect prevalence trends and investigate signals.
Methods: The Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters (MarketScan) database was used to identify liveborn infants from 2016 to 2022, with linkage to maternal health care records during pregnancy.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of an integrated disease-specific nursing care model on alleviating perioperative and post-surgical anxiety and depression in parents of children with severe hypospadias.
Methods: Parents of children with severe hypospadias were recruited and randomly allocated into a control group (n=87), which received standard nursing care, and an intervention group (n=93), which was given an integrated disease-specific nursing intervention in addition to standard care. Parental anxiety and depression were measured using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) at admission, discharge, and 6-month follow-up post-surgery.
