Complications after any surgical procedures are normal consequences within the standard acceptable percentage among surgeons. Complications are higher in hypospadias surgery as compared to other reconstructive operations. Urethrocutaneous fistula after hypospadias surgery repair is the most common complication and remains a frustrating problem for surgeons [21]. Generally fistula is defined as ...

Anterior congenital urethrocutaneous fistula is a rare anomaly that may present in an isolated fashion or in association with other anomalies of the genital urinary tract or anorectal malformations. A case of congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula nonassociated with other congenital anomalies in a 3-year-old male whose mother has been exposed to Chernobyl's nuclear fallout is described. T...

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...

Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula and megalourethra are both rare anomalies. These anomalies are commonly associated with other anorectal or genitourinary anomalies and evaluated with voiding cystourethrography. We examined a 34-month-old boy who presented with a fistula at the penoscrotal junction. A voiding cystourethrogram showed a jet of urine coming through the fistula and proxi...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of urethrocutaneous fistula repair using buccal mucosal graft in patients with a previous hypospadias repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed records of our patients with urethrocutaneous fistula developed after hypospadias repair in whom buccal mucosal graft fistula repair had been performed. All of the patients had been f...

Isolated congenital penile urethrocutaneous fistula is described as an unusual developmental anomaly in two infants who presented with an abnormal opening on the ventral aspect of penis with a normal foreskin and an absence of the chordee, hypospadias or other associated congenital anomalies. Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty augmented with dartos pedicle blanket wrap resulted in satisfac...

conclusions this repair method, which is simple, rapid, and easily learned, is highly applicable, with a high success rate for the closure of ucfs measuring up to 4 mm in any location. methods this clinical study was conducted on children with ucfs ≤ 4 mm that developed after tip surgery for hypospadias repair. the skin was incised around the fistula and the tract was released from the surround...

In cases of repair of urethrocutaneous fistulae developing after primary hypospadias surgery, tubularisation often becomes difficult after excision of scar tissue. It is also well-known that this type of fistulae has a high recurrence rate. In this study of 15 cases, the aim is to analyze the results of conventional urethrocutaneous fistula repair, augmented with the principle of Midline longit...

Urethral fistula formation after urethroplasty for hypospadias is a frequent complication. Repeated failures can occur even after multiple attempts at repair. A surgical procedure is described for a problematic resistant urethrocutaneous fistula (UF) with the transverse turnover flap using the Buck’s fascia of the corpus cavernosum. A 23-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with rec...
