Abstract

BackgroundHypospadias surgery is technically demanding and is often encountered with complications like fistula and glanular dehiscence. To prevent these complications we have instituted Buck’s fascia repair (BFR) with wingless glanuloplasty (WLP) in the cases of distal penile hypospadias (DPH) deemed to be suitable for TIP repair. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the outcome of Buck’s fascia repair (BFR) with minimal wingless glanuloplasty (WGP).MethodsThis prospective study included 50 patients with coronal, subcoronal and midpenile hypospadias who received a tubularization of incised plate (TIP) repair. The exclusion criteria were glanular hypospadias, Thiersch Duplay repair, proximal penile hypospadias, previous penile surgeries, uncorrectable chordee, glans size < 14 mm, flat glanular groove and preoperative testosterone therapy.ResultsOver a period of 3 years, 50 patients with mean age of 3.5 ± 0.8 years were recruited for the study. Meatal position was coronal, subcoronal and midpenile in 6, 24 and 20 patients, respectively. Fistula occurred in one patient (2%) and meatal stenosis in one. Straining on micturition was noted in two patients that needed dilatation in postoperative period. None of the patients had glanular dehiscence. Surgeon acceptability of the procedure was good. Cosmetic results were also fair.ConclusionBuck’s fascia repair with Wingless glanuloplasty is a good repair for the distal penile hypospadias. It is effective and is associated with low fistula rates and glanular dehiscence. It is technically simple procedure involving minimal dissection. However, caution should be observed in midpenile hypospadias to avoid tight repair in subcoronal region.

Highlights

  • Hypospadias surgery is technically demanding and is often encountered with complications like fistula and glanular dehiscence

  • Apart from fistula formation, hypospadias repair may be associated with glanular dehiscence which is a common and significant complication given the fact that such patients typically need a redo procedure [8, 9]

  • 2 Methods This prospective study was conducted from July 2017 to July 2020 and included 50 patients of distal penile hypospadias

Summary

Introduction

Hypospadias surgery is technically demanding and is often encountered with complications like fistula and glanular dehiscence. To prevent these complications we have instituted Buck’s fascia repair (BFR) with wingless glanuloplasty (WLP) in the cases of distal penile hypospadias (DPH) deemed to be suitable for TIP repair. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the outcome of Buck’s fascia repair (BFR) with minimal wingless glanuloplasty (WGP). We instituted Buck’s fascia repair with wingless glanuloplasty for the patients with midpenile and distal penile hypospadias and assessed the outcome of this novel technique with regards to prevention of fistula, cosmetic results at our high volume tertiary care center
