Acellular dermal matrix graft for ventral corporal lengthening orthoplasty in 2-stage proximal hypospadias repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Correcting ventral curvature (VC) by lengthening the ventral corpora using a graft has been verified feasible, but still has been associated with the recurrence. The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in the setting of tissue reconstruction has captured the attention of many surgeons. There are few reports on the use of ADM exclusively as correction of VC. Thus, we evaluate the safety and effectiveness of repairing the defect with ADM for straightening the VC in proximal hypospadias repair.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with proximal hypospadias who underwent ventral corporal lengthening with graft in staged repair from January 2013 to December 2019. Those with curvature greater than 30° after urethral plate transection were enrolle
