Upper urinary tract anomalies are rarely associated with hypospadias and do not justify routine imaging in these patients unless other organ system anomalies are present.

Hypospadias is the most common congenital anomaly of the penis, but its causes are mainly unknown. Long-term results using buccal mucosa repairs in hypospadias cripples are good, but the use of tissue expanders may be a good alternative. Further experience and comparative studies for distal and proximal hypospadias are required. 1. We recorded complications and functional outcomes of redo procedures. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Our data have shown that despite the numerous techniques used for hypospadias surgery, the incidence of complications is still high in patients who undergo hypospadias repair. Conclusion: Although there is high heritability of Most adult men with a history of hypospadias present themselves with urinary tract symptoms. These infants were followed-up for 2 years using the Murmansk Regional Congenital Defects Registry to identify cases of hypospadias not diagnosed at birth. Reports indicate complications may increase when repair is delayed past 6-12 months of age. We review the evolution of the concept of tubularization of the urethral plate and our results in the repair of proximal hypospadias. Combining data from a birth registry with those from a congenital defects registry provided optimal information about the prevalence of hypospadias and its association with low infant birthweight and preeclampsia. With double layer dartos coverage further reduction can be achieved. Small fistulas are common complications and can be repaired easily. The inner preputial flaps were tubularized into a neourethra, which was then transposed to the ventral channel through a ventrolateral tunnel beneath Buck's fascia. This study is quite different and pro-, vocative as the reader can observe different view, the same questions and make his own conclusions, The discussion of hypospadias repair is high-, lighted by the challenging need to reduce compli-, their date over the last three decades and provided a, frank reporting of a 58% immediate complication, rate in the proximal group and a 31% rate in the, second midshaft to distal group, which is refresh-, ingly honest. This article assesses past and present concepts and operative techniques with the aim of broadening our understanding of this malformation. The number of patients having surgical complications was significantly greater among patients who received a caudal block than among patients who did not receive a caudal block (53 (24.5%) versus 19 (15.1%), respectively, p = 0.04).
