Graft Versus Flap in Management of Proximal Penile Hypospadias

August 20, 2024 updated by: Ahmed Shabaan Abohamady, Sohag University

Inlay Inner Preputial Graft Versus Transverse Preputial Island Flap in Management of Proximal Penile Hypospadias

Proximal hypospadias (penoscrotal, scrotal, and perineal types) account for approximately 20% of all cases . The management of hypospadias has greatly improved over the past two decades since the introduction of tubularized incisized plate urethroplasty. However, obtaining a favorable cosmetic outcome and functional straight penis is a major surgical challenge for such patients, and the ideal repair of proximal hypospadias remains the Holy Grail for hypospadias specialists.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The surgical plan for proximal hypospadias can be divided into single and staged operations. Single stage operations are often associated with high rates of complications and reoperations. Reportedly, complications occur in 20-50% of patients. Therefore, many pediatric surgeons are selecting staged procedures. Staged surgical repair of proximal forms of hypospadias has been proven to achieve successful both functional and cosmetic results. Although staged repair with inner preputial layer graft has regained popularity in the repair of proximal hypospadias; but Choosing between flaps or grafts to substitute the urethral plate in 2-stage hypospadias repair has been a matter of debate with no consensus in the literature.

Flaps have reliable blood supply that may be theoretically less liable for strictures or contractures. Grafts are more versatile, which can be used in primary and recurrent cases when healthy local skin is deficient.

In this study, our aim is to compare outcomes of grafts and flaps when used to substitute the urethral plate in two-stage repair of primary proximal penile hypospadias (penoscrotal and scrotal types).
