Reliability of grading of VUR and other findings on VCUG

Do adult men with untreated ventral penile curvature have adverse outcomes?
The history of ventral penile curvature if untreated in childhood is not known. The authors tried to assess this by performing an online survey of adults who had untreated ventral penile curvature using a Facebook advertised survey. Their outcome measures...
Glans size is an independent risk factor for urethroplasty complications after hypospadias repair
