Repair of proximal hypospadias with single-stage (Duckett's method) or Bracka two-stage: a retrospective comparative cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical correction of proximal hypospadias is challenging. The complication rate of proximal hypospadias is still high, and the debate over its optimal treatment is ongoing. Duckett's method is a classic non-staging operation, and two-stage Bracka repair is an attractive alternative procedure. Herein, we retrospectively analyzed the effects of two surgical techniques on proximal hypospadias in order to reduce the complication rates of proximal hypospadias, and analyzed the various risk factors that cause complications.

Methods

This study retrospectively evaluated 94 consecutive patients who underwent repair of penoscrotal or proximal defects between 2015 and 2019. Patients were assigned to two groups: 46 patients were treated with Bracka and 48 with Duckett. Pati
