Twenty - three cases of hypospadiaswere treated by primary cystomucoso - ure-throplasty。Twenty cases had the success inthe first operation with the success rate of86.9%。The external urethral orifice was re-constructed to the coronary groove in 17 cas-es ,and to the glans in 6 cases。The early re-sults were satisfactory。This operative tech-nique had the advantages of convenient forobtaining the materials, reasonable physiolog-ical needs, high success rate, satisfactory ex-ternal feature, and useful in various type of hypospadias.
ObjectiveTo explore the surgical outcome of Duckett urethroplasty-urethrotomy for staged hypospadias repair. MethodsFifty-three patients with hypospadias were treated by 2 stages between August 2013 and September 2014. The age ranged from 10 months to 24 years and 3 months (median, 1 year and 10 months). There were 5 cases of proximal penile type, 2 cases of penoscrotal type, 36 cases of scrotal type, and 10 cases of perineal type. Urethroplasty was performed with tubed transverse preputial island flap only in 27 cases or combined with urethral plate in the other 26 cases, thus a urethrocutaneous fistula was intentionally created; stage II fistula repair was carried out at 1 year after stage I repair. ResultsThe length of the new urethra ranged from 2 to 8 cm with an average of 3.6 cm. The patients were followed up 5-17 months with an average of 8 months after stage II repair. After stage I repair, urethral fistula was noted at other site in 3 cases, skin necrosis in 1 case, glandular stricture in 2 cases, cicatric curvature in 1 case, and position and morphology of urethral orifice not ideal in 4 cases. After stage II repair, urethral fistula was noted in 2 cases, mild urethral diverticulum in 2 cases, and stricture at temporary repair site in 1 case. HOSE score was 12-16 at 3 months after stage II repair (mean, 14.5). At 3-14 months after stage II repair, the maximum flow rate ranged from 3.9 to 22.7 mL/s with an average of 8.6 mL/s. ConclusionDuckett urethroplasty-urethrotomy can be used as staged repair for primary treatment of hypospadias because of high safety, low complication incidence, and satisfactory appearance.
Objective To compare and assess the efficacy of ventral/dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty in the treatment of urethral stricture. Methods We searched pertinent English literature via MEDLINE (1966 to 2007), EMBASE (1977 to 2007) and The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2007) for the use of ventral/dorsal graft urethroplasty in the reconstruction of urethral defect associated with urethral stricture. Data were extracted by two reviewers independently and analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results A total of 50 studies involving 1 264 patients were included. Ventral onlay graft urethroplasty was used in 751 patients with a success rate of 82.6%, while dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty was used in 513 patients with a success rate of 86.9% (ventral vs. dorsal, χ2=4.432, P=0.035). Oral mucosa graft had the highest success rate (88.1%) of all grafts, and the success rate of free skin graft onlay urethroplasty was associated with the location of graft placement (ventral vs. dorsal, P=0.016). Concerning the location of stricture, urethroplasty for bulbar urethral stricture achieved the best results, with a success rate of 87.7%, which was also associated with the location of graft placement (ventral vs. dorsal, P=0.025). Conclusion Dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty is better than ventral onlay. It is better to place the free skin graft in the dorsal part of urethra. Bulbar urethral stricture is more suitable for graft onlay urethroplasty than penile urethral stricture.

Conclusions: Intensive perioperative nursing care was obviously helpful in improving the outcome of urethroplasty.
Objective To investigate the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of the modified grafted tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (G-TIP), namely “glans G-TIP (GG-TIP) ”, in treatment of hypospadias. Methods A clinical data of 137 children with hypospadias qualified by the selection criteria between January 2021 and June 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 75 children were treated with GG-TIP (GG-TIP group) and 62 with G-TIP (G-TIP group). There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups in terms of age, hypospadias type, penile length, penile head width, penile head height, penile curvature, meatus-apex distance, urethral plate width, and distance from the distal endpoint of navicular groove to the dorsal or ventral midline point of the glans corona, and the difference between the two. The operation time, reconstructed urethral length, distance from meatus to ventral glans corona, postoperative complications, maximum urinary flow rate at 2 weeks after operation, and the hypospadias objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) score at 6 months after operation in the two groups were recorded and analyzed. Results The operation time was significantly shorter in GG-TIP group than in G-TIP group (P<0.05); but there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups in terms of reconstructed urethral length and distance from meatus to ventral glans corona. All urinary meatus located at the tip of glans with vertical fissure shape. All children in the two groups were followed up 6-35 months (median, 26 months). During follow-up, there were 3 cases of urethral fistula, 2 cases of urethral stricture, and 1 case of glans separation in GG-TIP group, and 3, 3, and 1 cases in the G-TIP group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The maximum urinary flow rate at 2 weeks and the HOSE score at 6 months after operation were significantly higher in GG-TIP group than in G-TIP group (P<0.05). Conclusion GG-TIP is safe and effective for repairing hypospadias in children. Compared with G-TIP, it has the advantages of relatively simple operation, shortened operation time, significant improvement in urinary flow rate, and better cosmetic results.
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of pedicled scrotal septal flap urethroplasty on longsegment posterior urethral stricture and to assess its appl ication value. Methods From January 2003 to December 2007, 24 patients (age range, 6-54 years old) with long-segment urethral stricture underwent pedicled scrotal septal flap urethroplasty.The duration of the disease was 1-5 years. The stricture was caused by traumatic urethral injury or disruption in 22 cases,postoperative compl ication of suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy in 1 case, and recurrent urethral infection due to long-term indwell ing urinary catheter in 1 case. Urethroscopy or cystourethrography examination confirmed that all cases had urethral stricture 2.0-5.5 cm in length. Eleven cases were compl icated with urethral false passage, 6 with urethral fistula, 2 with intestinal fistula, and 6 with erectile dysfunction. The result of excretion urography of bilateral upper urinary tracts was negative in all cases. Pedicled scrotal septal flap 2.5 cm × 2.0 cm-6.5 cm × 2.5 cm in size was harvested during operation, and urethroplasty was performed. Results Volume of blood loss during operation was 100-500 mL (average 270 mL). The operative time was 90-220 minutes (average 135 minutes). All flaps survived. All wounds healed by first intention. All patients had normal urination after operation. Over the follow-up period of 12-36 months (average 18.6 months), 1 of the 24 patients suffered from urinary incontinence, 2 from urethral stricture, 1 from urethral stricture and urethral fistula, and 1 from urethral diverticulum around the distal anastomosis. Those patients got normal urination after symptomatic treatment. No urethral stone, urinary incontinence, and new case of erectile dysfunction occurred. The maximum urinary flow rate 16 months after operation was 14-21 mL/s (average 17.6 mL/s). Voiding cystourethrography 22 months after operation showed unblocked urinary tract and no formation of stricture and fistula. Conclusion Pedicled scrotal septal flap urethroplasty, featured by simple operative method, easy flap harvest, and high survival rate of flap, is one of safe and effective methods for treating long-segment posterior urethral stricture.
Objective To present method and experiences in using the buccal mucosa with the Snodgrass procedure for repair of hypospadias. Methods Between August 2012 and April 2015, 55 boys with hypospadias were treated with Snodgrass procedure combined with buccal mucosa. The age ranged from 1 to 7 years (mean, 4 years). There were 32 cases of distal penile type, 14 cases of proximal penile type, and 9 cases of coronal sulcus type. The buccal mucosa taking from inner cheek was fixed into the incised urethral plate. The urethral plate was tubularized over a catheter. Results All the patients were followed up 3-25 months (mean, 11 months). After operation, 1 patient had urethral stricture and fistula after repaired urethra was infected, and 5 patients had fistula. For the others, the urination was smooth, the appearance of penis was satisfying, the urethral stricture did not occur, and the penis was straightened completely. Conclusion Compared with traditional Snodgrass procedure, the application of buccal mucosa can increase the reconstruction material of urethral and reduce the stricture of the repaired urethra after operation.
ObjectiveTo explore the short-term effectiveness of hypospadias repairs with free inner prepuce tube. MethodsForty-two males with hypospadias were repaired with free inner prepuce tube between May and October 2015. The age ranged from 1 year and 1 month to 28 years and 2 months with a median of 2 years and 9 months. Initial operation for hypospadias was performed in 41 cases and re-operation in 1 case of chordee after 16 months of hypospadias repair. There were 36 cases of hypospadias (6 cases of proximal penile type, 1 case of penile scrotal type, 26 cases of scrotal type, and 3 cases of perineal type) and 6 cases of typeⅣchordee according to Donnahoo classification criteria. ResultsThe length of reconstructed urethra was 2.0-5.5 cm (mean, 3.6 cm). The patients were followed up 6-10 months (mean, 8 months). Urinary fistulae was noted in 10 patients, which healed spontaneously in 5 cases within 3 months after surgery, and was cured after repair in 5 cases. Urethral stenosis occurred in 4 cases (2 external orifice stricture and 2 distal urethral stricture) and urethral incision was performed. Wound infection was noted in 3 cases, 2 of them needed further surgery for a permanent fistula. Skin ischemic necrosis was found in 3 cases, 1 of them had infection and fistula, and needed further surgical repair. Diverticulum of scrotum developed in 1 case. Ten patients need re-operation, and the success rate was 76.2% (32/42). At 3 months after surgery, the HOSE score ranged from 11 to 16 (mean, 14.7). The maximum urinary flow rate was 1.9-28.4 mL/s (mean, 10.5 mL/s) in 22 cases of outpatient at 3 months after surgery. ConclusionFree inner prepuce tube can survive and play a role of normal neourethra. The short-term effectiveness has shown a relatively high complication rate and suggests this procedure should be carefully applied.
Objective To present the experience of hypospadias repair using the tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (Snodgrass procedure). Methods FromMay 2001 to November 2004, 82 patients with hypospadias underwent the Snodgrassprocedure and the clinical data were analysed retrospectively. The mean age was5 years (1.5 to 16 years). These cases were divided into: the earlier stage group(34 cases) and the later stage group (48 cases); the proximal group (19 cases)and the distal and middle group (63 cases); the primary operational group (49 cases) and the reoperational group (33 cases). Results Fistulas ocurred in 12 patients (14.6%), complete glans dehiscednce in 1 case. Fistula were as follows: 11 cases in the earlier stage group (32.4%) and 1 case in the later stage group（2.1%）;2 cases in the proximal group (10.5%) and 10 cases in the group of distal and middle group (15.9%); 8 cases in the primary operational group (16.1%) and 4 cases in the reoperational group (12.1%). There was statistically significant difference in the incidence of fistula between the earlier stage group and the later stage group (Plt;0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the proximal group and the distal and middle group, between the primary operational group and the reoperational group (Pgt;0.05). All patients were followed up more than one month. The neo meatus was innormal position. The results of penile cosmetic and urethral function were satisfactory. Of these cases, 15 were followed up 1.5-6.0 months. The average flow rate was 7.8 ml/s(6.8-10.5 ml/s). The mean of maximum flow rate was 10.5 ml/s (8.8-14.5 ml/s).Conclusion Excellent neourethrol functional and superior casmetic resalts with low rate of complication can be gained by using tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for the cases of hypospadias without chordee or with mild chordee. But the preputialflap procedure should be chosen in condition that the hypospadias was association with obvious chordee.
