PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for urethrocutaneous fistula development after hypospadias repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1990 and May 2010, 348 patients underwent hypospadias repair. This study included 294 patients who were followed up for more than 6 months. Potential risk factors for the development of fistula after operation included a...

Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects. However, its etiology remains largely unknown. The authors investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to familial aggregation of hypospadias. Using Danish health registers, they identified 5,380 boys diagnosed with hypospadias in a cohort of 1,201,790 boys born in 1973–2005. Using binomial log-linear regression, they e...

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was performed to repair 20 distal and 5 mid-penile hypospadias cases. In distal hypospadias repair meatal stenosis occurred in 1 patient and urethral fistula in another. The overall complication rate in this group was thus 10%. Among midpenile hypospadias cases meatal stenosis was observed in 1 (20%) patient. As a conclusion, tubularized incised plate ure...

PURPOSE The Danish National Health registers provide a valuable data source that offers unique opportunities for observational research, including studies on the congenital anomaly hypospadias. The accuracy of the diagnosis and surgical treatment registration of hypospadias in the Danish National Patient Register (DNPR) remains unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We randomly sampled 500 patients di...

Hypospadias is a very common congenital anomaly in which the urethra opens onto ventral aspect of penis rather than at tip. It has an incidence less 1% live male births. In humans, anogenital distance (AGD) sexually dimorphic measure genital development. this study, we intended to examine association between AGD and hypospadias using homogenous group patients. The same investigator examined all...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and risk factors of hypospadias in newborn infants of a private hospital in Mashhad city located in northeast Iran. METHODS All live birth deliveries in maternity hospital were enrolled from Oct 2006 to Sep 2008. All hypospadias cases were compared with the next male live births for possible risk factors. This study included only sol...

INTRODUCTION Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of the penis, in which there is incomplete development of the distal urethra. There are numerous reports showing na increase of prevalence of hypospadias. Association of craniofacial malformations in patients diagnosed with hypospadias is rare. The aim of this study is to describe the association between hypospadias and craniofacial congenita...

Hypospadias is a highly prevalent congenital anomaly. English articles, indexed in PubMed, published the long-term sexual and reproductive outcome following hypospadias repair. Almost all repairable cases of hypospadias are operated in childhood. Although distal hypospadias does not interfere with fertility, it is worthy reporting a case of an elderly man, who fathers 12 children and has no uro...

background and objects the patient’s age at the first hypospadias repair may be an important factor for determining postoperative outcomes. age at the first procedure differs between western countries and medical centers in china. this review examines the differences between the incidence of surgical complications and surgical age in boys receiving hypospadias repairs in north america, europe a...
