Abstract
Despite successful hypospadias repair surgery, complications may occur. We report on a case of recurrent urinary tract infection from urethral stricture and urethral hair growth after hypospadias repair surgery. A 33-year-old man who first underwent hypospadias repair surgery at the age of seven underwent two more visual internal urethrotomy operations afterward. He was referred to our hospital because of voiding difficulty, dysuria, and residual urine sense. His urethral meatus was located at 1 cm proximal ventral sulcus from the glans. We found the urethral stricture and one hair in the urethra at the 2 cm proximal portion from the urethral meatus by retrograde urethrography and urethroscopy. Bacteriuria was found on urine culture, thus, we resolved the problems with soundation, epilation, and antibiotic therapy. However, the patient kept experiencing these problems recurrently; therefore, we managed his problems by recurrent urethral soundation, hair epilation, and antibiotic treatment with three years of regular follow-up.
