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. ...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....

A lower QoL or psychosocial adjustment was found to be associated with passive coping styles in other pediatric patient populations. ...Sub analysis of coping styles of the hypospadias groups was done based on three items: severity of hypospadias, time of last hypospadias surgery and occurrence of postoperative complications. ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Pediatric Health Information System database was interrogated for hypospadias and revision CPT® codes. ...CONCLUSIONS: Depending on how one defines hypospadias revision, no hospital within the Pediatric Health Information System data set meets the U.S. ...

Monogenic and chromosomal abnormalities are present in approximately 30% of cases, although the genetic factors contributing to hypospadias remain unknown in 70% of cases. ...Here we review the recent advances in this field and discuss the potential genes that could determine the risk of hypospadias....

INTRODUCTION: Many parents who choose hypospadias repair for their son experience decisional conflict and regret. The utilization of a shared decision-making process may address the issue of decisional conflict and regret in hypospadias repair by engaging both parents and physicians in decision-making. ...DISCUSSION: The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of decision-making about hypospadias surgery as a complex and multifaceted process. ...

The utricle in such cases is usually excised either before or concomitant with hypospadias repair. The authors developed an alternative approach in which the vagina or perineal utricle is retained during hypospadias repair and report on the results in four patients. ...CONCLUSION: Hypospadias repair in boys with perineal hypospadias while leaving a male vagina or perineal utricle in situ has not been reported previously, and the study's preliminary results are favorable. ...

The width of the urethral plate was correlated to the cosmetic outcome (using hypospadias objective penile evaluation [HOPE]) and functional outcome (using the urinary stream) of hypospadias repair. RESULTS: Overall, 47 patients had their hypospadias repaired during the study period. But, only 42 patients who had their distal hypospadias repaired using tubularized incised plate urethroplasty were evaluated. ...

BACKGROUND: Repair of distal hypospadias is one of the most common pediatric urology procedures in the US. However, the risk of postsurgical complications has been reported primarily from single-institution and tertiary center studies, with short duration of patient follow-up. ...METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients aged 0-18 years undergoing single-stage distal hypospadias repair was conducted. ...

Orchiopexy (range, 23%-27%), hypospadias (range, 19%-21%), and hydrocele / hernia (range, 15%-19%) were the highest volume case categories. Mean intraresident variability in reported case volumeswas 338% for minor pediatric (CAGR = 0%) and 382% for major pediatric (CAGR = 1.8%). ...

METHOD: We reviewed the health records of 827 children with hypospadias undergoing penile surgery from January 1991-June 2017. ...Hypospadias type and surgical repair technique were marked predictors of complications in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION: Anesthesia technique appears to have minor impact on complications after hypospadias repair, while surgical technique and type of hypospadias impact complications after hypospadias surgery in children. ...
