BACKGROUND: Hypospadias is the second most common congenital anomalies among human congenital disabilities. There are over 300 surgery techniques being introduced to treat hypospadias. The successful of hypospadias repair is assessed by several outcomes as well as complications following surgery. AIM: This study aims to show the multicenter hypospadias data in Indonesia descriptively. METHODS: All the data were compiled based on questionnaires, which were distributed to Indonesian pediatric urologists. The questionnaire includes several questions containing demographic aspect, preferred techniques being used, and complications being found regarding hypospadias repair. RESULTS: Eighteen Indonesian pediatric urologists from 12 centres involved in this study. The data were collected from June – September 2018 based on the surgeon’s experience throughout 2017. From 591 cases based on the returned questionnaire, penile-type hypospadias was the most common type of hypospadias being treated (35.7%) followed by penoscrotal (28.9%) and scrotal-type (12.9%). Moderate severity of chordee was mostly seen among all cases (40.6%). Tubularised incised plate (TIP), + Thiersch Duplay, was the most common technique being used to treat hypospadias (44.3%), followed by onlay island preputial flap (14.9%) and two-stage technique (14%). The incidence of urethrocutaneous fistulae in this study was 13.9%. CONCLUSION: This study showed how Indonesian pediatric urologists dealt with hypospadias cases. TIP + Thiersch Duplay procedure being the preferred technique used by most participants and the rate of urethrocutaneous fistulae as one of the complications was comparable with previous studies.

Objective: This study aims to know whether there are significant differences of blood sodium, potassium and hemoglobin level among patients post TURP who was irrigated by using normal saline and the sterile water. Material & Method: This is a single blind randomized clinical trial study performed from September 1, 2008 until August 31, 2009. Thirty-one subjects participated in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups, 14 subjects for normal saline (group I) irrigation and 17 subjects for sterilized water irrigation (group II). Results: There are statistically differences (p < 0,05) between hemoglobin concentrations changes in group I, and hemoglobin and sodium concentration changes in group II. There were no statistically differences (p > 0,05) in sodium and potassium changes in group I and potassium in group II. There are no statistically differences in hemoglobin, sodium, and potassium changes among two groups. Conclusion: Normal saline irrigant for irrigation after TURP give more stable post operative electrolyte profile compared to sterilized water. Keywords: TUR prostate, irrigation, serum sodium, potassium level differences.

Objective: This study is assigned to evaluate factors that associated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome. Material & methods: A retrospective study design is used to evaluate couples who seeking help for infertility problems at Permata Hati Infertility Clinic, Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta. The outcome measures were fertilization and clinical pregnancies rates. All analyses were performed with SPSS statistical software, version 20.0. Result: Forty-five couples participated in this study with mean age 33.69 ± 5.38 years for men and 30.53 ± 4.79 years for women. Of 56 ICSI cycles, there were 43 successful fertilizations (95.6%) and 14 clinical pregnancies (31.1%). In multivariate analysis, factors associated with successful clinical pregnancies were women’s age (p = 0.034, 95% CI 0.005-0.8), number of ICSI cycle (p = 0.045, 95% CI 0.001-0.93), and sperm morphology (p = 0.019, 95% CI 1.648- 253). In bivariate analysis, only men’s age is significantly associated with successful fertilization (p = 0.006, 95% CI 7.22-16.43). Conclusion: Factors associated with outcome of ICSI are women’s age, number of ICSI cycle, and sperm morphology.
