RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To present one way of performing onlay preputial flap for hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This procedure was performed following the methodology used in one hypospadias expert center to correct hypospadias in boys who are not elective for Koff procedure and in whom Koyanagi procedure is not needed. Operative details were described, and post-operative management were given as example. RESULTS: Long-term results of this technique showed a 10% complication rate (dehiscence, strictures or urethral fistulas) 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: This video is a step by step description of the onlay preputial flap technique giving the general methodology and also the details resulting from years of practice in one hypospadias expert center.

INTRODUCTION: Polypoid lesions of the gallbladder (PLG) are relatively common in adults, while they are very rare in children. The use of high-quality ultrasonography leads to increased detection of PLG, although less than 20 pediatric cases of primary PLG have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to address the experience of PLG management in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective multicenter review of children with ultrasonographically defined PLG between 2006 and 2016 was performed. The data from 12 pediatric surgery centers were compiled for this purpose. RESULTS: Eighteen patients (mean age: 10.4 ± 4.1 years) were included and managed according to each center's protocols. Cholecystectomy was performed for nine symptomatic patients. Histopathology conclusively revealed four tubular and five papillary adenomas, with a median size of 12 mm (ranging from 3 to 35 mm). Nine asymptomatic children were monitored by sonography over a 24-month (ranging from 12 to 66 months) follow-up period. The median PLG size was 7 mm (ranging from 3 to 9 mm). Two lesions disappeared after 1 and 2 years of follow-up, respectively. None of the patients developed symptoms or malignant transformation. CONCLUSION: This report confirms appropriate use of a conservative approach with annual clinical and ultrasound follow-up for small-sized and isolated PLG in children given the absence of malignancy and potential vanishing entities. Surgical treatment should be considered in case of lesions larger than 10 mm in size or when they are associated with symptoms.
